It has been used as a pure blood tonic and for skin health. It has also been used to promote restful sleep. According to Ayurveda, gotu kola is a tonic and rejuvenative for pitta (fire) types. It also inhibits vata (air) conditions when balanced with warming herbs, calms the nerves, and helps reduce excessive kapha (earth & water) conditions. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is considered a yin tonic. There is an ancient Sinhalese proverb about gotu kola: "Two leaves a day will keep old age away." Gotu kola, Centella asiatica, is one of the herbs known in Ayurveda as Brahmi - that which aids knowledge of Supreme Reality. In India it is regarded as perhaps the most spiritual of all herbs. Growing in some areas of the Himalayas, gotu kola is used by yogis to improve meditation. It is said to develop the crown cakra, the energy center at the top of the head, and to balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which the leaf is said to resemble. It is regarded as one of the most important rejuvenative herbs in Ayurveda. Gotu kola is a perennial plant native to India, Japan, China, Indonesia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the South Pacific. A member of the parsley family, it is tasteless and odorless. It thrives in and around water. It has small fan-shaped green leaves with white or light purple-to-pink flowers, and it bears small oval fruit. The leaves and stems of the gotu kola plant are used for medicinal purposes. These spread and grow quickly and it’s easy to keep a pot full, just keep them in light shade, moist in a well draining potting mix. I keep gotu kola plants out of temperatures much below 50 degrees and assume it would not take a freeze. You will receive a well started plant in a 4 inch pot.
