Amla is a small fruit that grows in India. In ayurvedic medicine, amla is classified as a rejuvenative and restorative tonic. Amla is known to be nature's richest source of vitamin C, about twenty times higher than an orange. In a popular Indian daily rejuvenizer amla is called chyvanprash, combined with a blend of delightful aromatic herbs to create a sweet, jamlike herbal concoction. It is esteemed for its power to enhance health and reverse the aging process. | Christian Ratsch See book keywords and concepts | Effects
