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.
<p class="msonormal""=""><span lang="en-us""="">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. <p class="msonormal""="">

Made by Gopala Ayurveda from whole herb, it is wonderfully versatile, taken in water, milk or honey, or used in hair and face masks.
+Why is Amalaki (Amla) so revered in Ayurveda?
Amalaki, or Amla, is one of the most cherished fruits in all of Ayurveda, affectionately known as "the nurse" for its caring, all-round restorative nature. It is the richest natural source of vitamin C, and remarkably contains five of the six tastes (all but salty), which gives it a beautifully balancing, tridoshic effect on the body. It is a central ingredient in the legendary tonic Chyawanprash and in the famous Triphala blend. This rare combination of nourishing and balancing qualities is why it is treasured for vitality, immunity and graceful ageing.
+Is Amalaki powder good for immunity, skin and hair?
Yes, supporting immunity, glowing skin and healthy hair are among Amla's most loved benefits. As the richest natural source of vitamin C and a powerful antioxidant, it is traditionally taken to strengthen natural immunity and protect against the wear of premature ageing. In Ayurveda it builds ojas, the subtle essence of resilience and radiance, nourishing the skin and hair from within. It can also be applied externally in hair and face masks. Taken steadily, it is a lovely daily habit for anyone wanting to feel and look well-nourished.
+How do I take Organic Amalaki Powder?
Amalaki powder is wonderfully versatile, taken internally or used externally. A few simple ways:
As a tonic: stir half to one teaspoon into warm water, milk, or a little honey, once or twice daily.
In food: blend it into smoothies or juices.
As a hair or face mask: mix into a paste with water and apply, then rinse.
Because it is a gentle, food-like rejuvenative, consistency matters most. Your practitioner can advise the ideal amount for your needs.
+Which dosha does Amalaki balance?
Amalaki is famous for being tridoshic, gently balancing all three doshas, with a special gift for pacifying Pitta. Its naturally cooling quality settles the heat of excess Pitta, soothing the body, mind and digestion, while its nourishing, balancing nature means it does not aggravate Vata or Kapha either. This rare all-round balance, carrying five of the six tastes, is exactly why Amla is considered good for all seasons, all weather and all body types. It is one of the most universally suitable herbs in the whole Ayurvedic repertoire.
+How is Amalaki powder different from Amla Rasayana or Chyawanprash?
The key difference is that this is pure, single-herb Amla powder, while Amla Rasayana and Chyawanprash are sweet, ready-made jams built around Amla plus other ingredients. The powder is the most versatile and unsweetened form: you control how you take it, in water, milk, food or masks, with no added sugar or ghee. Amla Rasayana is a focused Amla jam in a jaggery-and-ghee base, and Chyawanprash is a larger spiced recipe with Amla at its heart. So choose the powder if you want pure, flexible, sugar-free Amla to use your own way.
+Is Organic Amalaki Powder suitable for vegans, and is it pure?
Yes, this Amalaki powder is 100% certified organic and suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. It is certified by USDA, Control Union and India Organic, made to NPOP and NOP standards, using pure whole herb with nothing added. It is free from heavy metals, pesticides, chemical preservatives, artificial flavours and colours, GMOs, parabens, dairy, sugar, corn, soya and gelatine, and is cruelty-free. Produced at GMP-certified units from herbs grown on sustainable South Indian farms, it suits anyone wanting a clean, ethically made daily herb.
+How long does a 250g pack of Amalaki Powder last?
At around half to one teaspoon (roughly 2 to 5g) a day, a 250g pack of Amalaki powder lasts about seven weeks to four months, depending on your daily amount and whether you also use some in masks. Because it is a rejuvenative best taken as a steady habit, many people simply reorder to keep their routine going. Store the powder in a sealed container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture, using a clean, dry spoon, so the herb stays fresh, potent and free-flowing throughout.
