In ancient medical systems such as Ayurveda, Common names for Emblica officinalis Gaertn. include Amla and Indian gooseberry, is highly valued for its nutritional and therapeutic qualities that help people regain their vigour and energy. This article examines many phytochemicals that were separated from E. officinalis, going into their molecular processes, pharmacological potentials, and ethnobotanical applications. In addition to information from 20 e-books and other botanical sources, the study integrates data from more than 270 publications that have been published or approved in the last five to six decades. Extracts from several parts of E. officinalis, particularly the fruit, are rich in polyphenols including gallic acid, ellagic acid, various tannins, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, fixed oils, and flavonoids like rutin and quercetin. Its efficacy in treating a wide range of ailments, such as cancer, osteoporosis, neurological disorders, hypertension, lifestyle diseases, infectious diseases, parasites, and inflammation, is attributed to these ingredients. Its ability to regulate pathophysiological molecular pathways and its antioxidant qualities, which shield cellular structures from oxidative stress, are responsible for these therapeutic effects. To discover, separate, and assess these chemical ingredients for their potential as nutrients and medicines, further methodical study is necessary.
