Amla

Chyawanprash has amla pulp as a base.  Also known as Indian gooseberries, amla grows on a flowering tree and is cultivated throughout India and nearby countries.  While we can’t be entirely sure when Ayurvedic healers started using amla berry, historical records tell us they’ve been used in remedies for at least 1,000 years.  The antioxidants and vitamins found in amla berries offer several health benefits. High concentrations of vitamin C in amla helps the body recover from illness. Amla berries also include several flavanols—chemicals that have been linked to benefits like improved memory.
