What Is Gotu Kola?.
While you may not be familiar with gotu kola, this small, perennial herbaceous plant from the wetlands of Asia can have remarkable effects on the body when consumed. This herb is also known by its scientific name, Centella Asiatica, or more commonly, as Centella. Many remedies have their origins in one particular culture or medical tradition, but centella was used in ancient India, Africa, and China for its powerful medicinal properties. The plant grows in tropical, wet areas and blossoms a small white or pink flower from a leaf that looks like a fat half moon. These strangely shaped leaves are the most valuable part of the plant and are most commonly used in herbal medicine.
Currently, many cultures across Asia and Africa use gotu kola leaves in their culinary preparations, such as in soups, salads or in a wide variety of beverages. The stems and leaves of gotu kola can be used on their own as a simple remedy or an extract of the leaves can be taken, which is a highly concentrated compound containing all the active ingredients in gotu kola. This can be made into gels, creams, capsule supplements, ointments, and other forms to treat everything from anxiety to cardiovascular conditions. The high concentration of unique triterpenoid compounds (also known as saponins) found in it is the reason for this plant’s power.
