The amla fruit, also known as the Indian gooseberry, comes from a small tree that grows throughout India. The tree is worshipped as "Mother Nature" due to its nourishing fruit. The fruit is one of the highest natural sources of vitamin C, and it yields an oil that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to treat the hair and scalp. It is said to penetrate the scalp and strengthen hair at its root, to stop and reverse abnormal hair loss and to promote stronger, healthier new growth. It is also an excellent conditioning herb.

To use amla powder, make a hot water infusion with the powder and strain it. The tea can be used to rinse the hair after shampooing. Amla is best used in combination with shikakai, aritha, neem, bhringraj and tulsi powders. When using the herbs in combination, steep all of the herbs in water and strain the tea. The tea should be kept refrigerated and used within 4 days or preserved with an anti-bacterial preservative.

Alternatively, you can make an oil infusion by warming sesame or olive oil in a double boiler with the herbs for 4 hours. After 2 hours has passed, replace the spent herbs. After 4 hours, strain the infusion and preserve it with rosemary oil extract or T-50.

Ayurevedic Herbs are new to me and my hair. I am a natural haired AA woman who has very course and thick hair. I am using as a no-poo wash or conditioner for my hair. It is too early to make my own claim but I noticed a improved difference in how my hair felt after rinsing. No dryness or brittleness. I will say I was not going to purchase them any other place but FNWL. The shipment was fast, nice packaging and weight for money.

I used Amla Powder on my natural 4a/4b hair. I really like the results! My curls popped, and overall my hair was soft and THICK. I highly recommend Amla Powder if you want fuller hair.

I like your Amla Powder a lot. I make my own hair care products, and I use the Amla Powder in hair rinses, use the tea in my hair conditioners and shampoo bars. It makes my hair soft!
