Who Should Avoid Bhumi Amla? - #60738
I am dealing with some liver issues and have read a lot about bhumi amla and how it might be beneficial for liver health. Just a few weeks ago, I went for a check-up because I have been experiencing this persistent heaviness in my stomach, and my doctor mentioned something about fatty liver. I got scared when I heard that! I have been taking some herbal supplements, but I feel like I need to know more about bhumi amla liver health specifically. Like, does amla really repair the liver? Is it actually effective for fatty liver, or is that just something people say? Also, I have got this pesky kidney stone situation going on too, which makes me wonder if bhumi amla could help with that as well? I mean, balancing everything seems so complicated. I have heard there are some people who should avoid bhumi amla, but I’m not quite sure who those people are? And are there any specific Ayurvedic remedies that are better for liver health or even kidney stones? This is all so overwhelming, and I just want to get my health back on track!
