how to make honey amla - #44334

Making honey amla at home is pretty straightforward, and it’s a fabulous natural remedy that aligns beautifully with Ayurvedic principles. Here’s a simple way to make it.

Firstly, you can use either fresh amla (Indian gooseberry) or dried amla. Fresh is ideal, as it retains maximum nutrients, but if it’s hard to find, dried amla works too. If using fresh amla, wash them thoroughly and pat dry. Remove the seed and cut them into small pieces. If you’re using dried amla, you can soak them overnight in warm water to soften them a bit.

Once you have prepared the amla, take a clean, sterilized jar (glass is preferred) for storing this mixture. Layer the jar with amla pieces, then pour raw, organic honey over the top until the amla is completely submerged. For optimal benefit, make sure the honey is raw as it retains more of its natural properties. Cover the jar and let it sit for at least a week at room temperature. This allows the honey to infuse with the properties of amla.

As for the proportions, generally, aim for about a 1:1 ratio by volume when layering. However, don’t stress about precision; just ensure the honey adequately covers the amla. Ideally, consume around 1-2 teaspoons of the concoction daily.

Regarding your energy and hair, amla is rich in Vitamin C and supports digestion, which can help improve nutrient absorption and boost your energy levels. It is also beneficial for hair health due to its antioxidant properties. However, ensure you’re consuming a balanced diet to address hair fall and consider your whole lifestyle, including stress and sleep, as these are factors in energy and hair health.

Remember, start with small quantities to see how your body responds, and also consult your healthcare provider, especially if you have specific health conditions.
