Pure amla powder is also available in market.  You can mix 1 tsbp of amla powder in a glass of water and drink on early morning empty stomach. This remedy is said to improve eye sight.

Amla is also a coolant. It is one of those best things to use during summers. Amla based drinks can be consumed any time of the day to rejuvenate senses. Since it is a bitter herb, it is often mixed wit added herbs and flavoring agents to sit taste.

Amla is a nervous system stimulant. It is an amazing brain tonic.  It also helps in boosting memory.  You can consume amla based daily tonics to avail these benefits.
