Description Aonla or Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.) is known for its medicinal and therapeutic properties since ancient times and is considered as a wonder fruit by health conscious people. It is a minor subtropical, deciduous tree native of India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and China (Kalra, 1988). It is a prolific bearer and highly remunerative even without much care. In different parts of India, it is known by different vernacular names such as Amla or aonla in Hindi, Dhatri, Dhatriphala, or Amalaki in Sanskrit, Amla or Amalaki in Bengali and Oriya, Nelli in Malayalam, Amolphal in Punjabi (Gurmukhi) and Indian gooseberry in English. Owing to its hardy nature, ability to survive in various kinds of waste lands (arid, semi-arid, saline, coastal, ravines), high productivity per unit area (15-20 t/ha), nutritive and therapeutic values and its suitability for preparation of various products (food items, cosmetic and ayurvedic medicinal preparations), aonla is becoming an important fruit of the 21st century.
