Amalaki has all six tastes (shad rasa) except for salty (lavana)<\/a>.\u00a0 Amla is the Hindi word for sour<\/a>.\u00a0 As its name implies, amla tastes sour <\/a>primarily.\u00a0 It is energetically cooling. Its vipak or post digestive effect is sweet.\u00a0 In terms of qualities or gunas, it is light and dry.\u00a0 Amla targets the circulatory and digestive systems.<\/p>\n

Amalaki works on all seven tissue systems (dhatus) in Ayurveda<\/a> and is a wonderful reproductive tonic.\u00a0 It reduces fevers, is useful in inflammatory conditions (created by Pitta), and is a blood purifier.\u00a0 Indian gooseberry is a natural anti-oxidant and it helps to protect the heart.\u00a0 Additionally, amla is useful for heartburn as well as liver and spleen disorders.<\/p>\n
