Health Benefits of Amla: A Natural Remedy for Summer Wellness

Kathmandu. Whether it is summer or winter, consuming Amla is considered beneficial for the body in every season. Ayurveda describes Amla as highly advantageous for the human body. Consuming Amla in summer helps maintain energy levels and eliminates lethargy. However, it is important to know the proper method of consumption.

In Ayurveda, Amla is considered 'Amalaki' or the 'fruit of nectar.' It helps balance the three doshas in the body: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The Vitamin C present in it boosts the body's immunity and protects against infections that arise with changing weather. Consuming Amla sherbet is considered beneficial for beating the heat and cooling the body.

How to prepare this healthy drink

Take water from an earthen pot, black salt, rock sugar (mishri), basil seeds (sabja), and Amla powder or fresh Amla juice. Add Amla juice, basil seeds, and a pinch of salt to the water. After mixing well, add crushed ice. This beverage maintains electrolyte balance and instantly reduces fatigue.

Benefits

Consuming this sherbet reduces the risk of heatstroke in summer and lowers the body's internal heat. Amla sherbet also helps maintain the body's normal temperature during the summer. Imbalances in Pitta and Vata are common in summer, which can cause physical stiffness. Amla sherbet helps in getting rid of all these problems.

Reducing Vata and Pitta also calms digestive fire and reduces facial breakouts. Heat can make the body feel dry both internally and externally. Consuming Amla juice helps maintain hydration and reduces skin problems.
