Benefits & Use:

Emblica Officinalis is of great importance in traditional Asiatic medicine, not only as an antiscorbutic, but also in the treatment of diverse ailments, especially those associated with the digestive organs. The fruit is an extremely rich source of ascorbic acid, The tannin in the fruit prevents or retards the oxidation of the vitamin, so that the fruits can be preserved in salt solution or as dry powder while still maintaining their antiscorbutic value. The tannoid principles are potent inhibitors of aldose reductase and may be effective in the management of diabetic complications, including cataract. The fruits are a rich source of pectin. Many of the medicinal applications of the fruits can be ascribed to the presence of ascorbic acid and to the astringent action of the tannins. Fruit extracts showed anti-oxidant activities in in-vitro. They also exhibited cholesterol-lowering, antitussive, anti-ulcerative and hepatoprotective properties. Phyllemblin has also been isolated from the fruits; it potentiates the action of adrenaline, has a mild depressant action on the central nervous system and has spasmolytic properties. Leaf extracts have shown inhibitory activity on human leukocytes and platelets, which at least partly confirms their anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. The fruits have diuretic, laxative and purgative activities and also show molluscicidal and antimicrobial properties. A principal ingredient of various Ayurvedic tonic formulae. the fruit is given in order to allay the effects of aging and to restore the organs. The sour fruits are one of the ingredients of ‘triphala’, an Ayurvedic rejuvenating, laxative tonic based on this species plus the fruits of Terminalia bellirica and Terminalia chebula.
