What are the real dried gooseberry benefits? - #12551
I recently bought a pack of dried gooseberries (Amla) because I heard they are really good for health. I know fresh Amla is a superfood, but I want to understand if dried gooseberry benefits are just as effective. Most people say Amla is great for immunity and digestion, but does drying it reduce its nutrients? If I eat dried Amla daily, will it still give me the same benefits as fresh Amla juice? I’ve also read that dried gooseberry benefits include better hair and skin health. How exactly does it work? Should I just eat it raw, or is it better to soak it in water? Some people say Amla helps with premature graying—has anyone experienced real results from eating dried Amla regularly? Another thing—I have acidity issues, and I read somewhere that Amla is good for digestion but can also be sour. Will dried Amla make acidity worse, or is it safe to eat? Would love to hear from someone who has been taking dried Amla regularly. How do you consume it? How much should I take daily? And how long does it take to see any real health improvements?
