Dried Bhoomi Amla

Native of Natural offers Premium Dried Bhoomi Amla (Phyllanthus niruri), also commonly known as Bhumi Amalaki or ‘Stonebreaker’ (Chanca Piedra). This herb, despite its common name, is distinct from the large Indian Gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) and is revered in Ayurveda as one of the best herbs for liver health and detoxification. The whole aerial plant (stem, leaves, and small fruits) is harvested and dried.

Bhoomi Amla is highly valued for its active lignans, such as Phyllanthin and Hypophyllanthin, which are traditionally used to support liver function, aid kidney stone dissolution, and provide antiviral and anti-inflammatory benefits.
