AN IMPORTANT AYURVEDIC MEDICINE
AAMLA is an Indian Fruit available fresh only once a year just like mango fruit.
AAMLA is full of medicinal properties and the richest possible natural source of vitamin 'C' and contains essential elements for keeping our body healthy and resistant to germs and infections. 'AYURVEDA' proves that AAMLA is capable of setting-right any imbalance in any of the three basic elements of the body. VATA (The Air), PITTA (The Fire) and KAPHA (The Water) AYURVEDA believes that it is only the imbalance or vitiation of any one of these basic elements that makes the body ill. The best property of this fruit is that it doesn't shed its ambrosial qualities even if it is dry totally or heated on fire. Its extreme richness in vitamin 'C' is not only good when consumed internally but equally beneficial when applied over the skin or hair. It is a well-known fact that all the natural dyes have contents of AAMLA liberally mixed in it. Even if you apply alone AAMLA paste on your hair, it can turn gray into black.
This fruit has also ample amount of proteins, fats, mineral salts, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus and iron. It is not these ingredients' individual effect but their collective effect that makes AAMLA what it is. It is the richest natural source of vitamin 'C'. The amount of vitamin 'C' in AAMLA is four times more than it is in oranges and eight times more than it is in tomatoes. It is so rich that the vitamin doesn't get destroyed whether you burn or dry it. And we know how necessary vitamin 'C'' is for our system. Besides keeping the system clean of the various germs and other filth, it provides resistance power to the body.

This is the most important and most popular combination of Indian Herbs in Ayurvedic system of medicine. The other two ingredients are known as 'HARDA' & 'BEHDA'. The combination of these three super herbs is so wonderful that it can create miraculous results in body and mind. It has the power to balance TRIDOSHA (Imbalance of VATA, PITTA and KAPHA).
