Gutu Kola

Gotu Kola
(Centella asiatica)

Gotu Kola is a slender, creeping plant that grows mainly in swampy areas of India, Sri Lanka, Madagascara and South Africa. Because gotu kola's leaves are about the size of an old British penny, people also called it Indian pennywort, marsh penny or water pennywort. Gotu Kola was considered as a spiritual herb in Ayurveda and it is believed to have benefits of improving meditation and revitalizing the nerves and brain cells. Some people believe that it can help develop the crown charka, the energy center at the top of the head. Thus, it is believed that gotu Kola may benefit "brain elevation". In 1950s, researchers found gotu kola might benefit refractory wounds, leprosy, lupus and ulcers. Later, gotu kola was found to contain asiatic acid, a pentacyclic triterpene.
