Hi I am again asking another question. I want to know where I can purchase the Indian gooseberry powder. I have never seen it or heard of it. I live in SWFL, is this something I can buy in a natural food store or vitamin store? Thank you again.

U can buy it in a natural food store if not from a raw drug retailer or any Ayurvedic medical store

Thank you I ordered it from ebay a distributor in NY and then I found it in an Indian grocery store near my home. I am taking 1/2 tsp. every morning with water is this the right amount for the full benefits or should I take more?? Thank you always for the help.

Increase it gradually to one teaspoon. Take it early in the morning in empty stomach with warm water. Initially it will detoxify the body. Eventually it will give rejuvenatory effect especially with milk.

The form in which you are taking amla(Indian gooseberry) is very important.If you are taking triphala powder, take it 2hours after the meal in the night before sleeping.If you are taking it in the form of chyawanprash , you can have it after milk and if you are taking fresh amla juice, take it empty stomach in the morning.
But never take amla powder with milk or within two hours of having milk otherwise it may lead to severe indigestion.

thank you both for the wonderful advice I just want to make sure. I am taking Alma powder and I take it like I said with 1/2 teaspoon with water in the morning.

@shikha,

Amla powder taken with milk early in the morning in empty stomach will not cause indigestion as both of them are cold in potency and have laxative effects and hence they are synergistic in action. As a result their combination equalizes all the three humors in the body. When taken along with curd the efficacy is even more enhanced.

@haydee

you can very well start with the combination you have mentioned.

Hi Bharathi as the doctor say untill your baby is healthy and active no need to worry.Speech development is different in each children ,so never compare.For improving her weight you can give her banana shake.Try to include atleast 1 fresh fruit in her diet daily.
Talk to your pediatrician about deworming.
