Ayurvedic Superfruit for Immunity & Digestion
Amalaki, also known as Amla or Indian Gooseberry, is one of the most revered fruits in Ayurveda, celebrated for its rejuvenating and immune-boosting properties. This finely ground powder is made from the dried fruit and has a naturally sour, astringent taste.
In Ayurveda, Amalaki is considered a Rasayana—a powerful rejuvenator that nourishes all tissues and balances all three doshas, especially Pitta. It is rich in natural Vitamin C and antioxidants, helping to strengthen the immune system, support digestion, and promote clear, glowing skin.
