Amla Powder

Uses

• Haircare, skincare, and healthcare.

Hair and scalp benefits

• Growth and volume: Helps strengthen hair follicles and encourages hair growth for thicker, more lustrous hair. It is used to help make hair feel thicker and stronger.
• Greying and dandruff: Nourishes the hair and scalp, which may help slow down premature greying and assist in controlling dandruff and itchy scalps.
• Amla and blonde hair: Amla contains natural tannins that cool down warm tones, which may cause blonde or very light hair to appear dark or more ash-toned over time with regular use. However, this cooling property makes it excellent to mix with our pure henna if you wish to tone down vibrant red colour results, helping to shift the final colour toward a cooler auburn.

Skin benefits

• Healing and hydration: Moisturises and nourishes the skin, which may assist with the healing of cuts, blemishes, and conditions like eczema and dry skin.
• Firming and anti-ageing: Helps firm and tone the skin, and may help reduce hyper-pigmentation, shrink the appearance of enlarged pores, and support skin firmness by stimulating collagen production.
• Acne care: The antioxidants, exfoliating properties, and astringent action can help clear up pimples, acne, and oily skin, making it a wonderful face mask that helps support healthy, glowing skin.

Natural variance and consumption

• Natural variance: As this is a natural product, the colour may vary between batches.
• Health tonic note: Internal consumption of this product should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional. If you want to take it as a health tonic, please consult your doctor for personalized advice.

For all herbal treatments, whether for the skin or hair, regular use is necessary. In some cases, you may need to use the herbs consistently over a period of time to observe the best results.

Amla hair tonic anti-dandruff pack
Mix equal amounts of amla and shikakai powder in a bowl. Make a paste with plain yoghurt and water if necessary. Apply this mixture from root to tip and, after covering with clingwrap, leave it on for about 15 minutes. Rinse it off and wash with a mild shampoo. If you don’t have shikakai, you can do this hair pack just using amla.

Amla hair strengthening pack
Combine eggs with amla, reetha, and shikakai powder into a thick paste, adjusting proportions as needed for your hair length. Massage into the scalp, cover with clingwrap for a brief period, and rinse with a mild shampoo. Alternatively, mix eggs with amla powder if you don’t have reetha or shikakai.

Amla skin blemish treatment
Take amla powder, a pinch of turmeric powder, lemon juice, and rose water and mix it into a paste. Apply it to scars, acne, and pimples. Leave it on for a short duration and rinse off.

Amla facial mask
Mix amla powder with filtered/spring water, a cold-pressed plant oil, and other ingredients of your choice to make a spreadable mixture. Apply it to your facial and neck skin, leave it on for 30 minutes, and gently rinse it off.
