What are the benefits of Kattu Nellikai (Wild Gooseberry)? - #11428
I recently came across Kattu Nellikai (Wild Gooseberry) and learned that it has a wide range of medicinal uses in Ayurvedic medicine. I’m curious to know more about the benefits of Kattu Nellikai and how it can help with health conditions like digestive problems, skin health, and immune support. I know that Amla (Indian gooseberry) is rich in vitamin C and has various health benefits, but I’m not sure if Kattu Nellikai is used in the same way. Does it have similar properties, or are there other specific benefits to this wild variety? How does Kattu Nellikai support digestion, liver health, or blood purification? I’ve also heard that Kattu Nellikai can help improve skin conditions like acne and eczema. How should I use it for these purposes? Should I consume it as juice or use it topically as a paste or powder? Lastly, is Kattu Nellikai safe for regular consumption, and are there any potential side effects or precautions I should consider, especially for people with sensitive stomachs or allergies?
