Amla is loaded with Vitamin C, which boosts collagen production to strengthen hair follicles and promote growth
Nutritionist Palak Nagpal also shared the reasoning behind amla juice being healthy for your hair
In India and around the world, amla is revered as a superfood. This ancient fruit, which is nutrient-dense and has countless health advantages, has five of the six Ayurvedic tastes—bitter, astringent, pungent, sour, and sweet. It is full of vitamins C, fibre, antioxidants, and other vital elements. There are several health advantages to drinking a glass of amla juice in the morning rather than a cup of tea or coffee. The morning beverage helps prevent chronic diseases, improve digestive health, and strengthen immunity. Additionally, the fruit is good for your hair growth, says nutritionist Palak Nagpal.
In a video posted on Instagram, Palak shared an amla juice recipe that prevents hair fall and premature greying. She wrote, “Struggling with hair fall or early greying?
