For thousands of years, Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), also known as Indian Gooseberry, has held a place of great reverence in Ayurvedic tradition. Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, this small tart fruit has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic practice to support general health and wellbeing.
What is Amla?
