Indian Gooseberry,called as Amla and Botanical name Emblica Myrobalan, offers a definte contribution to one's health if it is included in his or her diet regularly.The vitamin "C" content is very high in it. If the juice is taken in the morning on an empty stomach, it bestows many benefits to the user.. More in my next. T.S.Sundaram.
