Amolo Tea

Amolo Tea

A perfect after-meal tonic tea

Amolo (Phyllanthus emblica) is a fruit that grows widely in Southeast Asia, India and Southern China. In India, it is known as Amlaki or as Amla. It is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine. Fujian Province of South China is known as a premier source of superb quality Amolo fruit. It has been used for many centuries as a digestive aid, a cooling herb to eliminate internal heat, to encourage production of body fluids to extinguish thirst and for an extraordinary range of tonic benefits. Amolo is simultaneously a food and an herb. The great classic of Chinese herbal medicine, the “Ben Cao Gang Mu,” says: “Taking this fruit for a long time will help you possess a light body and longevity.”

Extraordinarily, Amolo is the richest source of vitamin C known to mankind. An average fruit of Amolo contains vitamin C at a ratio of 300 mg / 100g, or 30%.  One Amolo fruit contains approximately 3000 mg. of vitamin C (approximately 20 times the vitamin C of an orange). The vitamin C in Amolo is heat-stable. Experiments have shown that the natural vitamin C contained in Amolo is more readily and more quickly assimilated than synthetic vitamin C.

Amolo has a powerful antioxidant activity. Vitamin C itself is an excellent antioxidant. However, Japanese researchers have shown that Amolo is a potent free radical scavenger, thus eliminating the stress-related oxygen-based ions which clutter up an unhealthy body. These free radicals cause premature aging and can cause auto-immune diseases whereby the body attacks its own tissue. Amolo is a very rich source of SOD (superoxide dismutase), one of the best antioxidants known, at 482 units / g.

Recent studies conducted in Fujian Province and elsewhere by established and respected medical hospitals, (but unsupported by Western medical studies) has demonstrated that Amolo is an important health supplement. It has found that continued administration of Amolo by human beings:

It has been clinically tested under a wide variety of conditions and has been found to be both a profound health product and a wonderful supplement to aid in weight loss.

Amolo is an excellent liver stimulant, and has mild laxative effects.

Amolo is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine as well. Spiritual qualities attributed to Amolo in the Ayurvedic Encyclopedia are described as follows: "It is sattwic (pure) in quality, gives love, longevity and good fortune. For mothers who behave angrily towards their children, it calms them and balances their emotions. For children who have lost their mother, it fills them with the sense that their mother is there. Thus, Amalaki has another name, Dhatri, meaning "mother" in Sanskrit.
