Hair Health
Amla powder can be used to promote healthy hair and make hair appear more glossy and shiny. Amla powder can be combined with water and added to shampoo. Gallic acid is a powerful phenolic compound found in amla and has been shown to repair hair that has been previously damaged from dye or other environmental effect, notes a study published in the “Journal of Oleo Science.”
Cholesterol
A study published in the “European Journal of Clinical Nutrition” demonstrated the ability of amla to reduce high cholesterol in men with elevated cholesterol levels between the ages of 35 and 55; just two weeks after stopping the treatment, cholesterol levels rose. According to IndianFoodForever.com, “the vitamin C in amla helps in dilating the blood vessels and thereby lowering the blood pressure.”
