EMBLICA OFFICINALIS

Emblica officinalis is a plant originating from India, used in Ayurvedic medicine for its antioxidant properties. The plant bears decorative yellowish-green fruits, which are also used in India for food and cosmetic purposes. It has been shown to be beneficial in age-associated degenerative diseases. It is in fact referred to as a substance that promotes the longevity of the organ structures and has proven to be effective in the treatment of diabetes. For this reason, Emblica officinalis, also called Amla, is beneficial to the eyes, as it reduces the retinal complications from diabetes and exerts a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action on the eye structures. The antioxidant function of Emblica officinalis derives from the significant presence of tannoid substances (tannins) and the high percentage of vitamin C, which the plant possesses in even higher quantities than those in oranges. This makes Emblica officinalis a substance particularly indicated in the presence of pure maculopathy and/or diabetic maculopathy.
