Amla, often known as Indian gooseberry, is high in antioxidants. It can treat digestive issues and cardiac difficulties, regulate pancreatic function, manage cholesterol, and increase bone density.
Whereas Bibhitaki helps maintain blood cholesterol levels and treat hepatitis, bronchitis, asthma, eye disease, etc.
