Abstract

Ayurved the ancient medical science which is been practiced in India and various parts of world since very long time. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “The Science of Life.” Ayurvedic knowledge originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and is often called the “Mother of All Healing.” It stems from the ancient Vedic culture and was taught for many thousands of years in an oral tradition from accomplished masters to their disciples. Ayurveda believes that there is no such plant found in nature which has no medicinal value. Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science. Some of this knowledge was set to print a few thousand years ago, but much of it is inaccessible. Amalaki (Emblica officinalis) (EO) has a hallowed position in Ayurveda- an Indian indigenous system of medicine.
