Does Amla Juice Cause Acidity or Is It Safe for Sensitive Stomachs? - #11491
I have been hearing a lot about the health benefits of Amla juice, especially for immunity, digestion, and skin health. However, I am concerned about whether Amla juice causes acidity, as I have a sensitive stomach and often suffer from acid reflux. From what I understand, Amla (Indian Gooseberry) is rich in Vitamin C, which is slightly acidic. But does it actually increase stomach acid, or does it help in reducing acidity in the long run? Some sources say that Amla has an alkalizing effect on the body and can actually help in balancing stomach acid levels. Is this true? Should it be taken on an empty stomach or after meals for people prone to acidity? I have also read that Amla juice helps in detoxifying the liver and improving digestion. But for people who already have acidity issues, would it be better to dilute it with water or mix it with honey to reduce its acidic nature? Another thing I am curious about is whether Amla juice should be avoided by people with ulcers or acid reflux. Does it irritate the stomach lining, or does it actually promote healing? Additionally, are there any specific ways to consume Amla for acidity relief? Would eating fresh Amla be better than drinking Amla juice? What does Ayurveda recommend? If anyone has personally used Amla juice for digestion or acidity, please share your experience. Did it help or worsen your symptoms? How long did it take to see results? I am looking for accurate information on whether Amla juice causes acidity and how to use it safely for sensitive stomachs. Please share any insights!
