1. Treats Liver Damages : Modern drugs can cause many side effects, such as damage to the liver and affect the functions of the liver. Paracetamol is one of the medicines used to cure mild pain and fever. The overdose of Paracetamol medicine can cause damage to your liver. According to scientific studies, it is found that Amla protects the liver from Paracetamol. Amla acts as a powerful liver-protective agent. The free radicals and reactive oxygen species directly damage your liver, so it changes the normal structure and function.
Amla contains numerous natural antioxidants, such as flavonoids, tannins, and vitamin C. The researchers found that Amla contains unique antioxidant composition that has powerful antioxidant properties. It clears the free radicals and regulates the overall structure and function of the liver. The treatment of Amla helps to decrease toxic markers and inflammation markers.
Additionally, it contains a high amount of ascorbic acids that have the capacity to fight against the toxic effects, which can be caused by some metal salts, chemicals, the overdose of drugs, or overconsumption of alcohol. The extract of Amla is more effective than the ascorbic acid. Thus, it can be safe to use in treating liver damage or liver injury.

The extract of Amla fruit interferes with the absorption of glucose in the gut, so it delays the glucose entry into the blood. It prevents a sudden increase in blood glucose levels after food and delays the digestion of glucose.
Disaccharidase is an enzyme that converts carbohydrates into glucose, so the prevention of disaccharidase may delay the increase of blood glucose levels. The research found that the powerful anti-diabetic property of Amla contains many health-promoting compounds such as Gallic acid, Ellagic acid, Gallotannin, and Corilagin.
These compounds contain powerful antioxidants and free radical scavenging properties that decrease oxidative stress in the pancreas and help to regulate the level of blood glucose. Amla fruit is effective in decreasing diabetic problems associated with constant high blood glucose levels. The problems are Cardiovascular diseases, Nephropathy, Neuropathy, and Retinopathy.
According to scientific research, the extract of Amla fruit helps to improve insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and helps in lowering blood glucose levels. This property is similar to the anti-diabetic drug GLIBENCLAMIDE. It also contains tannins and flavonoids that prove anti-diabetic activity. Therefore, the Amla fruit is the main ingredient in anti-diabetic food.
4. Improves Gut Health : Ayurveda strongly recommended starting your food with the dish made from Amla because it helps to detoxify and eliminate the wastes.

5. Treats Fatty Liver Disease : According to the research conducted on rats, Amla prevents hepatic steatosis. It changes some proteins that are involved in the metabolism of lipids. It decreases and prevents dyslipidemia and hepatic steatosis. Amla can be taken with the Pippali churna or Trikatu churna and Haldi churna for non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases in Ayurveda.
6. Treats Scurvy : Amla contains rich amounts of vitamin C, so it is an effective remedy to treat scurvy. Scurvy is an issue that occurs due to the lack of vitamin C. For these cases, it is essential to take a diet that includes rich sources of vitamin C because your body can't be able to make vitamin C. Research found that Amla contains 20 times more vitamin C when compared to an orange. Thus, it can be used to treat and manage human scurvy.
7. Improves Insulin Secretion : Amla contains Chromium, which is a mineral that helps to normalize carbohydrate metabolism and beta cells for insulin secretion. Amla is a citrus fruit, so consuming it regularly not only repairs pancreatic tissues and also inhibits insulin-producing cells damage. Eating raw Amla daily in the morning improves the reception of insulin to your body.
8. Treats Hypertension : According to studies, the regular consumption of Amla helps to decrease blood pressure and the symptoms of cardiovascular diseases. Amla contains numerous antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and especially potassium making it a great diet for high blood pressure. Potassium is very useful in dilating the blood vessels that decrease blood pressure and control the many symptoms of hypertension. Drinking Amla juice with one teaspoon of honey helps to reduce blood pressure naturally. Regular consumption of this juice is very effective in controlling both diastolic and systolic blood pressure.
9. Atherosclerosis & Dyslipidemia : Amla increases the elasticity of blood vessels and protects them from inflammation. According to many types of research, the inflammation on the blood vessel linings may cause atherosclerosis. According to the research on hypercholesterolemic rabbits, the extract of Amla modulates the dyslipidemia conditions, decreases the formation of plaque, and thickens the intima-media in the aorta. It also helps to reduce cholesterol synthesis by preventing enzymatic action of HMG-CoA reductase and by increasing reverse cholesterol transport.
