GOTU KOLA [360]
Centella asiatica
Gotu kola leaves are one of the most widely used herbs in ayurvedic (Indian) medicine where it is used for healing and especially as a tonic for ailments of the nervous system, including epilepsy, schizophrenia and memory loss.
It builds circulation in the brain and lower limbs.
Gotu kola exhibits antibiotic activity.
It helps to break down the cell walls of invaders so that the body's immune system is more effective.
It also is popular to treat skin diseases including psoriasis (use externally) and leprosy (it weakens the coating of the bacteria that causes leprosy so that the immune system can destroy it).
Gotu kola has a reputation for promoting longevity. This goes back to a Chinese story about an herbalist who used it regularly (as part of a blend called Fo-Ti-Tieng), lived 256 years and survived 23 wives...
Gotu kola is NOT the same as the kola nut (Cola nitida) and does not contain caffeine.
