Indian
Gooseberry
The crisp bark of the
Indian Gooseberry is charcoal in hue and falls
off to the ground in large pieces where it is collected.
The bright colored leaves which have the scent of a
lemon are lengthy in size up to 11 mm and up to 5 mm in
width. The natural flowers are a distance
yellowish green and bloom in the early seasons.
Amla
the Indian Gooseberry or
amla fruit begins full bloom in the
middle of the season and then matures to full maturity
in late autumn. The fruit is also known as the Phyllanthus embilica and is somewhat similar to the
American gooseberry but not a related botanical.
Included is the phytonutrient phyllemblin which has been
studied by scientists and also used in ayurvedic tonics.
One of the primary propagation areas is the entire
country of India where it is indigenous. All
elements including the seeds, outer pulp portion, and
gooseberry rind are used in natural medicine.

India and Malaysia have used this botanical for
centuries and it is a sacred treatment for many
disorders. Oftentimes it is the basis of mother
earth teachings due to its total body support and
nourishment. Both leaves and flowers are used in
the Himalayan cultures for ayurvedic support.
Indian gooseberry, vayastha or
dhatriphala in sanskrit has been used as
a valuable ingredient of various medicines in India and
globally. It is valued chiefly for its high vitamin
C content. Repeated laboratory tests show that
every 100 grams of fresh fruit provides 470-680 mgs of
Vitamin C. The vitamin C value of amla increases
further when the juice is extracted from the fruit.
Even a single small berry has the same amount of vitamin
C as two oranges which is notable. The fruit is
approximately one inch in size and is also known as Nillika and usareekai in foreign cultures enhancing skin
richness and integrity.
