According to ayurveda, it is Tridoshic, meaning it can balance all the three doshas in the body. It is known as amla in hindi, nellikai in kannada and tamil, usirikaya in telugu.

Amla has a high cooling effect, using it with honey is said to balance it. We all know that honey is a natural sweetener with body warming properties and is said to dispel phlegm and toxins from our body.

Many kinds of honey are available in the market today, of which Manuka honey is well thought out to be the best one in terms of health benefits.

The quality of this honey is decided based on the UM Factor (unique manuka factor). It is said to possess natural healing qualities and is used in place of antibiotics to combat infections in the body and to deal with stomach related ailments.

I have tried using this manuka honey in many ways, with ginger juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. This time for this amla juice.

Amla juice can be made in large quantity, refrigerated and used whenever needed. But there is an amount of oxidation that happens after preparing it. So it is by far best to prepare and consume immediately and fresh. It can also be mixed with buttermilk or other fruit juices and consumed. It can as well be added to smoothies like banana smoothie.
