Does amla cause acidity, or is it safe for people with digestive issues? - #11327
I’ve been hearing a lot about the health benefits of amla, but I recently came across someone saying it might cause acidity. Is this true? Does amla cause acidity, or is it safe for people like me who already deal with hyperacidity and digestive issues? From what I understand, amla is highly acidic in taste but has an alkalizing effect once it’s digested. Is this why it’s often recommended for conditions like acid reflux and indigestion? If so, how should amla be consumed to avoid triggering acidity – as fresh fruit, powder, or juice? I’ve also read that amla is good for improving gut health and detoxifying the body. Can these benefits still be enjoyed by someone prone to acidity, or should it be combined with other ingredients like honey or ghee to make it gentler on the stomach? Are there any specific precautions to take when using amla for digestive health? If anyone has experience with amla and acidity, I’d love to know how it affected you. Did it help improve your digestion, or did it worsen acidity symptoms? Any tips for using it safely would be appreciated.
