Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is the fruit of a small to medium-sized deciduous tree native to India. The berries are greenish yellow with a fibrous inner texture. A much-beloved staple of traditional Ayurvedic medicine, amla is considered a cooling pitta herb. Dehydrated amla is considered to have a considerably higher Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) content than traditional drying methods. Amla powder helps in stimulating hair growth and preventing hair loss also helps in keeping hair free from premature greying.
