AMLA ( EMBLICA OFFICINALIS )
FOR HEALTH AND BEAUTY
AMLA, proudly known as 'Indian Gooseberry' has been the key constituent
of many Ayurvedic formulations. And nowadays, it has been accepted by
almost all medical branches as a result of extensive research carried
at Germany, England, India, and various other countries.
IN AYURVEDA, importance of Amla has been ascertained from the
experiments and experiences of ancient Rishi-Munis of India, namely
Charak, Chyavan, Atreya, Kartik, Vrat Koumudi, and many others. Amla is
considered one of the strongest rejunevatives (rasayana), particularly
for blood, bones, liver, heart and skin.
q SOURCE OF NATURAL VITAMIN C : Amla is exceptionally rich source of
vitamin C and powerful anti-oxidant. 100 gm. of Amla contains about 700
mg. of vitamin C, which is thirty times the amount found in oranges.
q VITAMIN C : Vitamin C is essential for making 'Collagen' in the body.
Collagen provides much of the framework in the cell or tissues, just as
the skeleton provides the framework for the body. Thus, Vitamin C plays
the vital role in growth and repair of tissues in ALL PARTS of human
body, and hence it is useful for treatment as well as prevention of so
many diseases. It enhances the overall immunity.
" When your immune system is strong,
You get sick less often, and recover quickly."
q POTENCY OF AMLA : Research has shown that Amla is 12 times more
assimilable and creates more potent medicinal effect than synthetic
vitamin C, known as Ascorbic acid. Researchers have also shown that
just 8.7 mg of natural vitamin C from Amla is equivalent to 100 mg of
synthetic vitamin C. The synthetic vitamin C is missing vital nutrients
such as Rutin, Bioflavonoids and the "J" & "K" factors.
q MODERN SCIENCES: The modern sciences too, have accepted the supremacy
of Amla towards imparting health and beauty, due to its very high
vitamin C content.
q UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE researchers, published the result of their
study, based on a single measurement of vitamin C in the blood of
19,496 individuals aged 45 to 79 state that : as concentrations of
vitamin C in blood plasma went up, the risk of dying from all causes
went down.
This report in the March 3, 2001 issue of 'Lancet' state that the risk
of death from all causes including heart disease, cut in half for
individuals who have highest levels of vitamin C in blood. In the
findings of Dr. Kay Tee Khaw, the high blood levels of vitamin C were
associated with a decreased risk for cancer.
q AN ANTIOXIDANT : Oxidation is removal of electrons from the molecular
oxygen and to convert it to an active form called as 'oxidant'. It has
a tendency to acquire electrons and damage most cell structures by
releasing DNA damaging free radicals. The Vitamin C in Amla is a
well-known antioxidant, which is able to inactivate DNA-damaging free
radicals, by releasing oxygen electrons. Thus vitamin C in Amla
prevents the abnormal growth of cells in all parts of body.
q H.L.NEWBOLD, in his book "VITAMIN C AGAINST CANCER", has interviewed
four Noble Prize Winner scientists, and professors from some of the
world's best-known medical centers. He reports the latest findings
about vitamin C as a promising new weapon in the battle against cancer-
not only for treatment, but also for prevention. Few lines between the
covers of his book have been quoted below:
…. (Nobel Prize Winner) Dr. Linus Pauling and Ewan Cameron began
an experiment with 1100 terminally ill cancer patients. The results:
the 100 patients taking vitamin C had lived four times as long as 1000
control patients who received no added vitamin C.
…. cholesterol is broken down and eliminated as bile acids. Vitamin C is beneficial to heart patients.
…Mr. Cameron said that in terminally ill cancer patients treated
with vitamin C : not only their lives prolonged, but also the quality
of their lives was greatly improved during the time they did live. This
freedom from pain was most important for terminally ill cancer patients.
…We (human beings) cannot make our own vitamin C.
…one should not wait for the application of vitamin C until one gets ill. We should take it all the time.
…like oxygen and water, vitamin C is an indispensable part of the life of every living creature on this globe.
q PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES: Amla is not only a wonderful antioxidant,
but it has proven anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral,
anti-mutagenic, yeast inhibiting, nematicidal, anabolic,
anti-hepatoxic, anti-hyperhidrosis, anti-inflammatory, anti-histaminic,
anti-spasmodic, hypolipidemic, and hypotensive relieving properties. It
also acts as an antacid and anti-tumorganic agent. In addition, it
increases protein synthesis and thus useful in cases of hypoglycemia.
