Deciduous forests of India, Cultivated in plantations and home gardens. In India, amalaki is revered in several traditional Vedic festivals. The plant is referred to as divaushadhi in the ancient literature of the Puranas, which means it is a divine plant. One of the properties that makes amalaki so special is that it contains five of the six tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, astringent, and pungent. The only taste missing is salty. This rich combination of flavors gives amalaki a holistic, balancing effect on the all three doshas.
The Charaka Samhita, one of the ancient texts of Ayurveda, has this to say about amalaki: "Of all the rasayanas, Amalaki is revered as one of the most potent and nourishing; Amalaki is the best among rejuvenative herbs.Amalaki is the best among the sour fruits."
