Gotu kola is valued for mental focus
Gotu kola is an excellent vasodilator and blood vessel strengthener. The herb is also often used as a diuretic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, and facilitates the actions of the antioxidants vitamins C and E in areas where there is damage. Gotu kola is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine and TCM to rejuvenate both mind and body, and can be used in conjunction with Bacopa, or Brahmi , another Ayurvedic herb used to improve mental focus. Clinical experiments have shown that the plant does improve memory, and rejuvenate skin and body tissue, by stimulating collagen synthesis.

Gotu kola for :Cellulite, circulation |
|
Gotu kola is an excellent vasodilator and tones the blood vessels allowing more circulation to problem cellulite areas. One of its active ingredients, asiaticoside, works to stimulate skin repair and to strengthen skin, hair, nails, and connective tissue. Cellulite occurs when connective tissues under the skin that hold deep-level fat cells break down and are no longer able to hold fat. Gotu kola contains compounds that increase glycosaminoglycan production in such a way that fat cells are not further displaced. Glycosaminoglycan production also stabilizes the connective tissue that surrounds the veins of the legs. Phyllis A. Balch, Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) |

Gotu kola got the nickname tiger's herb because injured tigers often rub against it to heal their wounds. Gotu Kola features in both Chinese and Indian myths and folklore. The Tai Chi Chuan master Li Ching-Yun purportedly lived to an advanced age of over 200 years old, due in part to his use of Gotu kola and other Chinese herbs. In Sri Lanka there is a tale of a 10th century king who claimed gotu kola (In sinhalese Gotu = conical shape and Kola= leaf), provided the energy and stamina to satisfy his extensive harem. | |
