Emblica officinalis commonly and popularly known as Amla is a native of India. It is highly nutritious as it is the richest source of Vit. C. It is said that the ancient Sage Muni Chyawan rejuvenated himself in his late 70's and regained virility with its use. The fruit of Emblica officinalis is commonly used in the treatment of burning sensation anywhere in the body, acidity, constipation, urinary discharges, inflammatory bowels, cough, hemorrhoids, fever, thirst, and toxicity of the blood.

Experimental studies have demonstrated that Amla extract possesses antisecretory, antiulcer, and cytoprotective properties. Amla extract was examined for its antisecretory and antiulcer activities employing different experimental models in rats, including pylorus ligation Shay rats, indomethacin, hypothermic restraint stress-induced gastric ulcer and necrotizing agents. Oral administration of Amla extract significantly inhibited the development of gastric lesions in all test models used. It also caused significant decrease of the pyloric-ligation induced basal gastric secretion, titratable acidity and gastric mucosal injury. Besides, Amla extract offered protection against ethanol-induced depletion of stomach wall mucus and reduction in nonprotein sulfhydryl concentration. Yet another studies in different acute gastric ulcer models in rats induced by aspirin, ethanol, cold restraint stress and pyloric ligation showed that emblica officinalis extract had significant ulcer protective and healing effects and this might be due to its effects both on offensive and defensive mucosal factors.
