Amalaki (Amla) or Indian Gooseberry in English is the richest source of natural Vitamin C, One of the properties that makes Amla divine is that it contains five of the six tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, astringent and pungent. The only taste missing is salty. This gives it a holistic, balancing effect on the doshas meaning it is tridoshic and is pacifying to all three doshas. Very few fruits have this quality. It is good for all seasons, all weather conditions, and all body types. Amalaki is useful in treating cough, cold, sore throat and respiratory tract infections. Being an antioxidant it protects the body from free radical damage and hence prevents premature aging.

Amalaki is both generally revitalizing and useful for many specific applications. It is effective in bringing balance to all three doshas. For this reason it is a central ingredient in the ayurvedic health tonic, Chyawanprash, which itself is regarded as the "Elixer of Life", and is noted for its rejuvenative, energizing, and immunity boosting properties. In addition, amalaki plays a central role in the famous rasayana Triphala, which is a staple of ayurvedic treatment. Amalaki's rare combination of astringent and nourishing qualities make it helpful for the healing and rebuilding of all tissue types. As such it is used both internally and externally to heal any manner of wound or ailment. It is also known to increase ojas, which is the vital fluid from which vigor and immunity flow.
