Gotu Kola – Traditional Uses & Herbal Information

Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) is one of the most revered herbs in Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese, and Indonesian medicine, with a history of use spanning thousands of years. Known as the "herb of longevity" in some traditions, it has been used to support cognitive function, wound healing, and circulation, and remains one of the most widely studied adaptogenic herbs in modern herbal medicine.

What It Contains

Gotu Kola contains a rich array of active constituents including triterpenoid saponins (asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid), flavonoids, phytosterols, and polyacetylenes, which are believed to contribute to its adaptogenic, neuroprotective, and wound-healing properties.

Add the recommended number of drops to a small glass of water and take once or twice daily, or as directed by a qualified herbal practitioner. It can be taken in the morning to support focus and mental clarity throughout the day.
