What are the medicinal uses of amla leaves in Ayurveda? - #10921
I’ve been learning about the many benefits of the amla (Indian gooseberry) fruit, but I’d like to know more about its leaves. What are the medicinal uses of amla leaves in Ayurveda, and how can they be used effectively? Amla leaves are highly valued in Ayurveda for their cooling and detoxifying properties, making them beneficial for addressing various health concerns. One of the primary uses of amla leaves is for managing diabetes. The leaves are believed to help regulate blood sugar levels. Should they be brewed into a tea or consumed as a powder, and how often should they be taken for managing blood sugar? Amla leaves are also used for skin health, as they help reduce acne, lighten blemishes, and soothe irritation due to their antimicrobial properties. Can amla leaves be crushed into a paste for topical application, or is consuming them more effective for overall skin health? Another benefit is their role in improving digestion and liver health. Amla leaf tea is said to enhance digestion and detoxify the liver. How frequently should this tea be consumed, and are there any side effects to watch out for? Amla leaves are also used to strengthen hair and prevent dandruff. Should they be boiled into a rinse or mixed with oils for application to the scalp? If anyone has used amla leaves in their routine, I’d love to know your tips. What benefits did you notice, and how did you prepare them for consumption or topical use?
