An ethanol extract of 'AMLA' EMBLICA officinalis Gaertn (Amalaki). was examined for its antisecretory and antiulcer
activities employing different experimental models...Oral administration of Amla extract at doses....significantly inhibited
the development of gastric lesions in all test models used. It also caused significant decrease of the pyloric-ligation
induced basal gastric secretion, titratable acidity and gastric mucosal injury. Besides, Amla extract offered protection
against ethanol-induced depletion of stomach wall mucus and reduction in nonprotein sulfhydryl concentration....The
results indicate that Amla extract possesses antisecretory, antiulcer, and cytoprotective properties.

In a 1999 study published in Phytotherapy Research, extracts of amalaki and haritaki were tested on animals.
Researchers found that both extracts normalized digestion and gastric emptying (the passage of food from the stomach
to the small intestine), promoting regularity.

....We could also demonstrate that the antitussive activity of E. officinalis (Amalaki) is less effective than shown by the
classical narcotic antitussive drug codeine, but more effective than the non-narcotic antitussive agent dropropizine. It is
supposed that the antitussive activity ... extract of Emblica officinalis is due not only to antiphlogistic, antispasmolytic and
antioxidant efficacy effects, but also to its effect on mucus secretion in the airways.

Because anger is an emotion associated with pitta dasha, following a pitta-soothing diet and taking pitta-pacifying herbs,
such as Shatavari or Amalaki, can be an effective foundation for anger management.
