As per Ayurveda

The Amla tree is a medium sized deciduous tree found wild throughout tropical India. The tree is extensively cultivated in many parts of India for its fruit. The Amla fruit is round in shape and light greenish yellow in color. Its primary taste is sour and astringent. Secondary tastes are sweet, bitter and pungent.Amla fruit may help in expelling Vatta (air) from the body, urinary support, and may act as a tonic and a coolant.

If you drink water after eating Amla it feels very cold and sweet. While all parts of the tree are used in ayurvedic preparation, it is the fruit which has the main value.
