By Amla you mean the Indian gooseberry .
The Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus
emblica) is a deciduous tree of the
Euphorbeaceae family. It is known for
its edible fruit of the same name.
Common names of this tree include
amalaka in Sanskrit, amla in Hindi,
nelli in Tamil, aonla, aola, amalaki,
amla berry, dharty, aamvala, aawallaa,
emblic, emblic myrobalan, Malacca tree,
nellikai, nillika, and usareekai.
For medicinal purposes dried and fresh
fruits of the plant are used. The fruit
allegedly contains 720 mg of vitamin C
per 100 g of fresh fruit pulp, or up to
900 mg per 100 g of pressed juice.
Apart from this it also contains
tannins; a reason why even dried form
retains most of the vitamin content.
