Description
Centella asiatica, commonly known as Gotu Kola, is a small herbaceous plant that is native to parts of Asia, including India. It is commonly found growing in damp areas such as marshes and near waterways.
The active ingredients in Gotu Kola include triterpenoids and Saponins. The leaves and stems of the plant are used for extraction and medicinal purposes.
Modern research has shown that Gotu Kola may have a range of potential health benefits. Studies have suggested that it may improve cognitive function, reduce anxiety, and support wound healing. It may also have positive effects on skin health, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Gotu Kola is commonly consumed as a tea or in powder or capsule form as a dietary supplement. It is also used topically in creams and lotions for skin health.
While Gotu Kola is generally considered safe when consumed in appropriate doses, it may interact with certain medications and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
