Health benefits of Amla-:

Hence, people having blood disorders or taking blood-thinning medications should consult a doctor before consuming amla. Also, one should avoid amla before surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding. While amla helps lower blood sugar, regular consumption may increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
• Amla is rich in iron which helps increase the red blood cell count and hemoglobin levels in the body.
