Churnam
Amla Powder
Amla Churnam (Emblica officinalis), also known as Amalaki, is described in the Charaka Samhita as the single most important Rasayana fruit in Ayurveda. It possesses five of the six tastes (all except salty), giving it an extraordinarily broad and balanced action across all three Doshas.
How to use
Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2-3g) mixed with warm water or honey, once or twice daily.
Amla Powder
Amalaki is the primary ingredient in Triphala and the base of Chyavanaprasha. Its cooling Virya and sweet Vipaka make it one of the rare Rasayanas that nourishes deeply without aggravating Pitta. Classical texts classify it as Vayasthapana, Chakshushya.
Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2-3g) mixed with warm water or honey, once or twice daily. Can also be used externally as a hair mask when mixed with water to form a paste.
