Gotu Kola Extract

Gotu kola is an herb in the parsley family. It is commonly used in Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Gotu Kola Herb (Centella Asiatica) also known as Indian pennywort, marsh penny, white rot, thick-leaved pennywort, hydrocotyle, Indian water navelwort, and talepetrako has been popular for years in India, Indonesia, China, and Sri Lanka. One of the most spiritual herbs in India, it is often used to enhance meditation and has been used for generations in the ancient Indian practice of Ayurveda. The Chinese believed that the Gotu Kola herb promoted longevity. In fact, the Chinese name for Gotu Kola means “fountain of youth.” In Sri Lanka, legend has it that elephants have long lives because they eat the Gotu Kola herb. The Gotu Kola herb is one of the largest cultivated crops. While its leafy greens are an important food source in Bangladesh, Thailand and Sri Lanka, it also has been internationally recognized within many countries’ pharmacopoeias since the late 1800s. Gotu Kola Herb can be consumed as leafy greens in salads, made into tea from the dried leaves, or made into herbal supplement capsules and liquid extracts. Gotu kola is most commonly used for burns and poor circulation that can lead to varicose veins (venous insufficiency), and to support a healthy immune system.
