• Centella Asiatica, commonly known as Centella and Gotu kola, is a small, herbaceous annual plant of the family Mackinlayaceae and is native to the wetlands in Asia.
• It is used as a medicinal herb in Ayurvedic medicine, traditional African medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine.
• Herbalists and naturopathic practitioners strongly believe that Gotu kola may have several powerful qualities.

Gotu Kola (non-GMO) has been traditionally used as a remedy for countless ailments. It has been used extensively over several thousand years in remedies supporting a multitude of different areas of health and wellbeing. Many holistic practitioners uphold that the kola herb has properties that support a healthy immune system response.

Recently kola has gained popularity as a natural remedy for skin and connective tissue issues such as scleroderma, psoriatic arthritis (arthritis occurring in conjunction with psoriasis), ankylosing spondylitis (arthritis of the spine), and rheumatoid arthritis. Gotu kola is said to possibly support the brain, nervous system, and veins.

Recent studies confirm many of kola’s traditional uses and suggest possible new applications such as supporting a healthy cardiovascular system, supporting mental health and memory, and possibly easing anxiety aiding in the healing of wounds and burns.

Supporting the nervous system may be necessary when one has a predisposition to problems. Gotu has shown some extremely remarkable potential. Scientists have established that compounds in Gotu Kola known as triterpene acids may, in fact, bind to receptors in your central nervous system and may reduce your startle response

One of the many possible benefits of Gotu Kola may include its effectiveness in supporting the overall health of skin like cellulite and keloids. The hardening of connective tissue cells below causes cellulite kola and has the potential to support the body’s ability to remedy this.
