In China, gotu kola has been regarded as "the fountain of life" for over 2,000 years. Ancient Chinese herbalists were said to live for more than 200 years by taking gotu kola.
Chinese practitioners claim gotu kola enhances brain power, heals skin issues, and promotes liver and kidney health.
In India, gotu kola is used as a mild adaptogen to prevent aging.
In the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine, gotu kola is known as a ‘Medhya Rasayana’, a remedy or nourishing substance specific to the brain tissues.

How It Works
Gotu kola, a member of the parsley family, is a medicinal plant native to tropical and subtropical parts of Asia and the South Pacific, as well as South Africa and Madagascar.
Gotu kola is widely used as a blood purifier, as well as for memory enhancement, skin problems, wound healing, blood pressure balance, revitalizing the nerves, and promoting longevity.
Gotu kola contains many active compounds, including triterpenoid saponins, which researchers believe may be largely responsible for the plant’s many purported health benefits.
These saponins may help with small wound healing by increasing production of collagen.
Gotu kola also provides antioxidant protection against free radical damage to the brain.
