The old saying relating to an apple a day and the kindly doctor is heard by every generation of children in America. And for good reason, as the apple is an excellent food source for the important vitamin C and other bodily agents which preserve our health and provide useful benefits such as being anti-allergenic, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory. Outside of America you can find a compelling little fruit from beneath the Himalayan Mountains, which is destined to make a great hit on the American health market, known as Amalaki. This little berry provides promise and hope towards rejuvenation of declining health.
Although it is no larger then a common tennis ball this little jewel is in reality a nutritional diamond. In India it is commonly referred to as the Indian gooseberry. The scientific name for Amla is Emblica officinalis. This practical fruit has been employed in Ayurveda for centuries and has accumulated a rich source of legends and tales surrounding its use. The five-century old medical belief of Ayurvedic Medicine is known widely as the revered Mother of the Healing Systems. Ayurveda as well as its sister science Yoga have been developing a steady following in the western world.
The Sanskrit written Ayurveda contains some of the oldest and lengthiest of medical texts within the world and it contains a vast amount of information concerning natural medicine. This age-old manuscript relates how to establish a balance in our everyday life through fundamental rules relating to nutrition and our lifestyle. It covers entries such as sleep, stress and exercise as its fundamental components.
This ancient manuscript describes in excess of 5,000 fruits and herbs in detail. Of all the plant substances described, Amalaki is described as the most effective towards the process of rejuvenation. For centuries this plant has been consistently mentioned as Dhatri which means the nurse or mother. This is a tribute to this unique fruit as a caregiver or healer of our bodies. It is considered an able component towards promoting Ojas or producing the perfect digestion. This of course leads to shining eyes, hair, skin and radiant health.
This fruit is a fountain of polyphenols, antioxidants, tannins, amino acids, some trace minerals, bioflavanoids and other phytonutrients of a beneficial nature.
This plant wonder is unquestionably the most concentrated source for Vitamin C of all of nature’s wonderful healers.
Although the Amalaki is only about one inch in diameter the fruit has 20 times the vitamin C content of one orange plus within its flesh is contained a substance known as Dismutase which is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants.
This fruit has received considerable reviews within the scientific community plus it has been the recipient of hundreds of scientific inquiries being completed concerning its role in combating a broad array of maladies and promoting rejuvenation of the body. Here are a few of its increasing benefits.
* It promotes cellular rejuvenation, vitality and energy
* It tends to improve nutrient absorption, digestion and provides an overall intestinal health increase
* It fights against body inflammations
* It will boost antiaging properties of the human body
* It enhances the body’s immune system
* It will improve metabolism
* It destroys the harmful free radicals, being a powerful antioxidant
* It promotes luster of your hair and skin
* Readily improves your liver health
* It promotes detoxification
Many of the writings found in India indicate that Amalaki is beneficial to one’s intestinal organs and helps in reducing inflammation within one’s digestive tract. It also helps towards strengthening the heart. These comments concerning the value of this fruit have appeared in a publication entitled the Materia Medica. This manuscript lists over 2,000 vegetable originating remedies.
Amalaki is commonly employed in Ayurvedic medicine. It serves as an antipyretic, aphrodisiac, and cerebral tonic. Its popularity is also centered on its ability to act as a strong immunity booster, an adaptogen and as a powerful antacid. One can raise their total protein level by its use and increase one’s body weight resulting in added muscle construction and increased body mass.
Many of these ancient manuscripts cite Amalaki as a medicine that prevent body aging. Of all plant related species this fruit is believed to contain the richest supply of vitamin C known to man.
Amalaki remains a beneficial ingredient in the removal of toxic waste resulting from poor digestion within the body. It was also noted in a study conducted in 2003 that Amla resulted in an increased cell survival rate that decreased the production rate of free radicals.
As with other antioxidants, Amalaki contributes to an enhancement of one’s immune system. Additional uses include colic, constipation, asthma, gout, anemia and to a certain extent mental disorders.
The Western countries are in a process of embracing the medicinal practices used in the eastern area of the world. Amalaki is readily available in tablet or powder form and recently it has been introduced as a liquid supplement known as Zrii.

I just saw a question about taking a puppy outside before it gets its shots…?
The vet wouldn’t give my puppy shots because she needs to be at least 6 weeks – she is two weeks shy of this. I have been taking her out back to poop and pee. Does this mean she has to eliminate indoors??
And does this mean I can’t take her out until she has ALL her shots (series of 3)?
I hadn’t heard this, I had thought it was important to keep them away from areas where other dogs might be or have been present to spread communicable diseases. Any advice?
She is orphaned and getting proper care for her special needs. I would find mom and siblings if I could.
You can take her out in your own backyard, but I wouldn’t take her to areas where other dogs pee and poop or even socialize. It’s safe to take her to friends or relatives houses that have healthy, vaccinated pets, although if she hasnt been dewormed, she could infect them is she deficates (although most parasites are transmitted fecal oral route [eating poop] so unless the other dogs eat her feces, they should pretty much be safe.. Definitely wait to take her for walks until 10-14 days after her 3rd disptemper combo vaccines.
Diphtheria (1941) Pt. 2 of 3
Im worried about cirrhosis of my liver I was a heavy drinker like twice a week getting drunk.?
The thing is the more i read the more I find that you don’t have to be a heavy drinker to get this disease or even the early stages of this disease. Women are at higher risk and the same goes for smaller men. Im not a huge guy im 5-9 and anywhere between 155-165 weight. I look healthy but have stomach problems and digestion problems and often feel toxic can smell the foods i ate from my skin in my hands. I drank like 5-10 beers 2 times a week for 2 years then quit for 2 years than started up again for 2 years now i have quit… Get my point im done for good have haven’t in almost 3 years but any damage is permanent the liver does not heal any type of scar tissue will be permanent. I may have 80% liver function and be alive but what about the rest of my liver am i doomed?
I really don’t think you have to worry about liver failure from what you have told me. That is not really considered heavy drinking. It takes a lot more than your drinking to actually scar a liver. It starts with fibrosis first which is not scar tissue and will not damage the liver permanently. I think you are a bit paranoid over this and reading too much stuff on the internet which would scare anyone. I had cirrhosis (autoimmune disease) and a liver transplant and you haven’t said anything that indicates liver disease.
If you want to be absolutely sure, just get some liver blood work done and see what the numbers are. If your enzymes are high, platelets are low, biliruben is high, blood clotting time is off, and a number of other abnormals come up on it, then you might be able to say you could have a liver problem. If they turn out OK, don’t worry about it. From my experience with this disease, I don’t think you have anything to worry about when it comes to your liver.
By the way, congratulations on your abstinence from alcohol. That’s great!
