Details :

• Indian gooseberry is a tree that grows in India, the Middle East, and some southeast Asian countries. Indian gooseberry has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Today people still use the fruit of the tree to make medicine.
• Indian gooseberry is taken by mouth for  high cholesterol, "hardening of the arteries" (atherosclerosis), diabetes, pain and swelling of the pancreas (pancreatitis), cancer,  upset stomach, eye problems, joint pain, diarrhea, bloody diarrhea (dysentery),  osteoarthritis, obesity, "organ restoration", and for a skin disorder that causes unpigmented skin (vitiligo). It is also used to kill germs and reduce pain and swelling caused by the body's reaction to injury or illness (inflammation).

How does it work?
Indian gooseberry seems to work by reducing total cholesterol levels, including the fatty acids called triglycerides, without affecting levels of the "good cholesterol" called high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

Uses & Effectiveness?
Insufficient Evidence for :

• High cholesterol.  Some early research shows that taking Indian gooseberry for 4 weeks decreases low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol in people with high cholesterol. Other early research shows that taking Indian gooseberry extract for 12 weeks decreases LDL cholesterol in obese people.
• Osteoarthritis.  Research shows that taking two capsules of an Ayurvedic formula containing Indian gooseberry and several other ingredients three times daily for 24 weeks is as beneficial as taking glucosamine sulfate or the drug celecoxib for reducing pain in people with knee osteoarthritis.
• Skin disorder that causes unpigmented skin (vitiligo).  Early research suggests that taking one tablet containing Indian gooseberry and other ingredients three times daily for 6 months along with standard treatment can increase skin repigmentation and reduce signs of inflammation better than standard treatment alone.
• Bloody diarrhea (dysentery).
• Cancer.
• Diabetes.
• Diarrhea.
• Eye problems.
• Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
• Indigestion.
• Joint pain.
• Obesity.
• Swelling of the pancreas.
• Other conditions - More evidence is needed to rate Indian gooseberry for these uses.
