Indian Gooseberry juice/ Amla (Nellikai) juice with ginger and curry leaves

                                
                       Initially, my chithi (mother's younger sister) will be threatening me with a glass of this juice. I will just hate to have it because of the taste of this gooseberry. But, the juice made along with ginger and curry leaves, had an improved taste, so I stopped running away from it. My chithi says that, she is feeling too active after having this juice continuously. So, it is proven Energy Boosting Juice for me.

                       Being a teacher, I remember my amma (mother) comparing Studies with this gooseberry, in my childhood days. Similar to the gooseberries sour taste at the first and ending up with sweet taste, studies will be hard (for some) initially, but when completed will give a good shape to life.





                       Amla or Indian gooseberry is a not just a fruit, but a boon to the people on the earth. The benefits of amla are numerous. Amla in any form like fruit, juice or even dried when consumed will show a great improvement in your health. Amla oil is one of the best medicines for hair care. And, so obviously this amla tree, is considered to be sacred here in India. It is also one among the various reasons, giving fame to India.

  2. Some people may find one glass of Gooseberry Juice too much for them to digest. Such people should start taking it from small quantity (quarter of a glass) and slowly increase the quantity upto one complete glass. You can also dilute the juice by adding water.
