Amla - The Strongest Anti-Aging Rejuvenative
A Summary of the Traditional Ayurvedic Use of Amla
Amla:- is a tonic against scurvy and jaundice;
- prevents indigestion and controls acidity;
- reduces LDL (bad) cholesterol while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol;
- cleanses the intestine;
- protects from colds, premature graying of hair or hair loss;
- encourages nail and hair growth;
- improves eye-sight;
- cleanses the mouth;
- nourishes the teeth and bones;
- regulates blood sugar;
- enhances production of red blood cells;
- prevents lipid peroxidation in cell membranes;
- increases overall immunity in the body, protects against heart and nervous disorders.
Amla is the richest source of Vitamin C in natural form (30 times the amount of Vitamin C found in oranges), and contains rich minerals, amino acids and pectin.
What is most important is that Amla's antioxidant Vitamin C, unlike synthetic Vitamin C, does not lose its value through processing due to the presence of tannins in Amla.
Because of this, Amla is found to be one of the strongest rejuvenatives in Indian traditional medicine. It is referred to in ancient text as the best medicine to prevent aging.
It's worth emphasizing again: Amla contains the richest Vitamin C that does not get oxidized because its tannins retard the oxidation.
But, there is much more that Amla has to offer.
Ayurvedic Use of Amla to Lower Cholesterol
Achieving lower cholesterol is one of the best ways to protect yourself from heart attack and stroke. Cholesterol can build up and form deposits in your arteries. These cholesterol deposits can clog arteries or, in some cases, completely block.HDL is often called the "good" kind of cholesterol because it helps remove unneeded cholesterol from the body. If your HDL is below 40, you are at high risk.
LDL is the "bad" cholesterol; it's made up primarily of fat and is a particular risk factor for heart disease. If your LDL is 160 or above, you are at high risk.
If any of your cholesterol numbers are in the high risk category, you're at an increased risk for heart disease.
Amla's pectin decreases serum cholesterol in human beings. It inhibits platelets aggregation and lowers cholesterol levels. Amla has been shown in studies to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol by 16% while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol by 25%. It also regulates blood sugar and prevents lipid peroxidation.
Three clinical studies found that 500 mg of Amla a day for three months raised levels of HDL cholesterol and lowered triglyceride and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. This is a huge achievement in supporting the three critical markers of cardiovascular health.
There is really nothing else out there besides high-dose fish oil that naturally lowers triglyceride levels. And raising HDL is one of the hardest things to do, but is the most important thing in terms of our cholesterol health. Although it is one of the hardest things to accomplish, Amla does it well, and with great ease.
Amla Reduces Your Risk of Gallstones
Amla is a gift of nature to mankind. Gallstones develop when there is an excess of cholesterol in the bile. Simply taking Amla daily can cut your risk of gallstones by nearly half, because Vitamin C is a factor in helping to convert cholesterol into bile acids in the liver.Other Ayurvedic Use of Amla
Amla has anti-bacterial and astringent properties that help prevent infections and heal ulcers. It is used as a laxative to relieve constipation.In Ayurveda, Amla is used as a cardiotonic, antipyretic, antidiabetic, cerebral and gastrointestinal tonic. It raises the total protein level and balances the body weight due to positive nitrogen balance.
Amla is a very powerful anti-inflammatory herb. It is useful with eye problems especially with inflammations. In recent Ayurvedic studies, Amla is the most frequently used as anti-cataract medicine perhaps because of the fact that Amla is a potent inhibitor of free radicals, one of the causes of cataracts.
In Ayurvedic language, Amla is specific to pitta due to its sweet taste and cooling energy. However, Amla is thought to balance both vata and pitta by virtue of its sour taste, and kapha due to its astringent taste and drying action.
Amla is traditionally used in India as a rejuvenative to promote longevity, and to enhance digestion, relieve constipation, reduce fever, purify blood, reduce cough, alleviate asthma, strengthen heart function, benefit eyes, stimulate hair growth, enliven the body, and enhance intellect.
Amla and Energy
Since first extracted 80 years ago, Vitamin C has been deemed essential for life and for maintaining optimal health and well-being. It is the world's most widely consumed nutritional supplement. It has potent antioxidant properties and plays critical role in facilitating essential biochemical reactions throughout the body.Vitamin C is also necessary for the synthesis of the inter cellular cement "collagen". Collagen is responsible for keeping the cells of the body together. Deficiency of Vitamin C makes a person lethargic and susceptible to infections, rheumatic pains and intestinal disorders. Consuming Amla removes this lethargic feeling and makes one vibrant and upbeat.
Because human body can only synthesize and store a certain amount of vitamin C, the body soon is depleted of it if fresh supplies are not consumed. Vitamin C, therefore, must be supplied through dietary source or supplements. Vitamin C, however, is a water-soluble nutrient that is quickly oxidized and excreted by the body, therefore its efficacy is limited.
The rich Vitamin C contained in Amla does not get oxidized because its tannins retard the oxidation.
