What Is the Scientific Name of Amla? - #11815

I have always known Amla (Indian Gooseberry) as a powerful Ayurvedic superfood, but I recently came across different names for it in botanical classifications. I want to know—what is the scientific name of Amla, and why is it important? From what I read, the scientific name of Amla is Phyllanthus emblica (Emblica officinalis). Some sources say that this plant belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. But why does Amla have two different scientific names—Phyllanthus emblica and Emblica officinalis? Which one is more commonly used in scientific research? I also read that Amla has different regional and Ayurvedic names. In Sanskrit, it is called Amalaki, and in Hindi, it is known as Amla. What are its other names in different Indian languages, like Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada? Another reason I am interested in Amla’s scientific classification is that it contains high amounts of Vitamin C, antioxidants, and polyphenols, making it an excellent herb for immunity, digestion, and skin health. But does the scientific study of Amla confirm these traditional Ayurvedic benefits? Lastly, I came across some research saying that Amla is being studied for its anti-aging and anti-cancer properties. What are the latest scientific discoveries about Amla’s medicinal benefits, and how does it compare to other antioxidant-rich fruits? If anyone has studied or researched Amla’s scientific classification and health benefits, please share your insights! I’d love to learn more about Amla’s botanical background and its importance in Ayurveda and modern science.
