Sourced from the Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis, a tree native to India), amla oil has long been used in ayurvedic medicine. Traditionally, amla oil is made by immersing dried amla fruit in oil. Typically, coconut oil, mineral oil, or sesame oil is used as the base oil. After a few days of soaking, the fruit are removed and the oil is filtered and purified. Besides essential fatty acids, amla fruit are high in vitamin C, flavonoids, polyphenols, and also contain water, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.<br>
