Amla seeds
Benefits of Amla Seeds: The Patanjali Research Institute in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, has once again achieved a major breakthrough in the field of Ayurveda. Usually, after using the pulp of the Indian gooseberry, its seeds are discarded as waste. However, Patanjali scientists have researched these "useless" seeds and proven that they are a treasure trove for health. Patanjali claims that this innovation is now gaining global recognition, representing a prime example of the confluence of India's Ayurvedic knowledge and modern science.
What did the research find?
The company stated, "Patanjali's Research and Development (R&D) team discovered that amla seeds possess medicinal properties not previously explored in mainstream Ayurveda. Chemical profiling revealed that these seeds contain compounds such as quercetin, ellagic acid, flavonoids, omega-3 fatty acids, and tannins."
Patanjali claims, "These ingredients have been scientifically proven to be extremely beneficial for the body. They possess anti-aging (slowing down the aging process), anti-inflammatory (reducing inflammation), and heart-protective properties. This research could not only be effective for high blood pressure and skin problems, but also help combat lifestyle diseases like diabetes and low immunity."
Seed procurement has begun in these states.
Patanjali said, "The biggest social impact of this discovery is that it has directly benefited farmers. The 'waste to wealth' model has been realized. Seeds that were previously discarded have now become a source of income for farmers. Patanjali has begun purchasing these seeds from farmers in Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh, providing them with additional income. This is not only strengthening the local economy but also reducing dependence on imports of herbal products."
The company said, "Recognition on the Global Stage: Patanjali's efforts have been recognized nationally and internationally. Prestigious institutions such as the Ministry of AYUSH and the Asian Traditional Medicine Board have recognized this research. Patanjali's findings have also been cited in research papers from countries such as Europe, Malaysia, and Thailand."
Based on this research, Patanjali has developed products such as amla seed oil capsules, skincare formulations, and immunity boosters, which are now in growing demand abroad. This initiative proves that when ancient wisdom is combined with modern science, the results are beneficial for humanity.
