Answer 1

Amla is excellent all round tonic! Buy raw amla, 3 to 5 kg., boil in water, adding salt to the water to suit taste; cool and retrieve the amla (whole), it will now be soft, but will still be whole! Keep in glass jar preferably, and, eat two or three amla's everyday, for good health, for iron, calcium, better digestion and a lot of other things associated with health! (the main ingredient of 'chyavanapras' is amla: amla oil is said to be good for hair) If still the taste bugs you, you could make pickle out of the boiled amla, and consume that in small doses along with normal food! ( For making powder, the boiled amla is dried in sun and when very dry, it is powdered and preserved!) Wish you good health!

It strengthen the lungs, helping to fight chronic lung problems as well as upper respiratory infections. [2]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.
