Gotu Kola is excellent for the mind and meditation. This precious herb is known to increase intelligence, longevity and memory. I love to give this herb in retreats and special journey to students that complain about restless mind. it support the journey within beautifully.
It is valued so highly in Ayurveda that much has been written about it with emphasis on the fact that it cannot be appreciated enough. In English, the herb is known as Centella or Indian Pennywort. In Sanskrit, it is sometimes called Brahmi, meaning ‘godlike’, and is regarded in India as a spiritual herb.
Rich in minerals, the herb contains Vitamins A, G, and K and is also high in magnesium.
Taken in excess, however, it causes headaches and giddiness, and sometimes confusion, skin redness and itching.
A rejuvenative herb, Gotu Kola also enhances mental clarity, strengthens nerves, decreases fatigue, depression, poor appetite, and sleep disorders. It fortifies the immune system, both cleansing and feeding it, and strengthens the adrenals. At the same time, it is a powerful blood purifier and is specific for chronic skin diseases, including leprosy and syphilis, as well as eczema and psoriasis. It is valuable in intermittent or periodic fevers, like malaria. Do not take with an overactive thyroid.
