Amla Use - #7250
I’ve been reading about the health benefits of amla and how it’s considered a superfood in Ayurveda. I’ve been struggling with poor immunity, hair fall, and occasional acidity, and I’m wondering how best to incorporate amla use into my daily life. Doctor, could you guide me on the right way to use amla for these issues? I’ve heard that amla use can strengthen the immune system due to its high Vitamin C content. I tend to fall sick easily, especially during the winter months. How much amla should I consume daily to boost my immunity, and what’s the most effective form—raw, powder, or juice? I also experience severe hair fall and thinning. They say amla use promotes hair growth and prevents premature greying. Should I eat amla for this, or would applying amla oil directly to the scalp be better? Can I do both, and if so, how often? Another issue I deal with is mild acidity. Is amla use effective for balancing Pitta dosha and soothing the stomach? If yes, should I take it before or after meals for the best results? Lastly, I’ve read that amla use has rejuvenating properties that improve overall energy and vitality. Does this mean I can take it long-term without any side effects, or should it be cycled periodically? Recommend the best practices for amla use, including dosage, frequency, and whether it should be combined with other herbs for maximum benefits?
