Hello, I am 17 years old girl. It is almost mandatory in our house to have gooseberry regularly. I don't understand the reason behind it. I am trying to look for the medicinal properties of gooseberry. Please help me if you are aware of it. Thank you.

@anshu 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, and “organ restoration.” It is also used to kill germs and reduce pain and swelling caused by the body's reaction to injury or illness (inflammation). 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).
