Description Gotu Kola is a small, slender, low-growing perennial, creeping herb that grows up to 20 inches in height. The plant is found growing in old stone walls and rocky sunny places in lowland hills and especially by the coast, shady, damp and wet places such as paddy fields, and in grass thickets. It prefers boggy soil, damp rocky areas and shady conditions. Stems are shallowly grooved, sometimes purplish. Leaves occurs solitary or in groups of 2-5, kidney-shaped to almost circular, distinctly and broadly cordate at the base, up to 1 inch thick, 6 inches long and 7 cm wide, hairless or with hairs on the petiole; margin crenate. Flower & Fruit Flowers are white or pinkish to red in color, born in small, rounded bunches (umbels) near the surface of the soil. Each flower is partly enclosed in two green bracts. The hermaphrodite flowers are minute in size, less than 3 mm (0.12 in), with five to six corolla lobes per flower. Each flower bears five stamens and two styles. The plant bears fruit which is 3.5 × 3 mm, laterally flattened, round or ellipsoid, ribbed, brown when ripe. Its taste can range from sweet, sour, bitter, astringent, acrid and it is virtually odor-free. Entire plant is used as a medicinal herb and as a culinary vegetable. Health Benefits 1. Circulatory System Gotu kola actually plays important roles in the circulatory system, both of which benefit our bodies. Firstly, gotu kola extract can strengthen the wall of blood vessels and capillaries, which help to prevents blood leakage and optimize the circulatory system. Secondly, it encourages the flow of blood, which increases oxygenation in different parts of the body and important organ systems. 2. Good for Dental Health Regular use of Gotu kola is a natural way to get rid of the inflammation of the tissues around the teeth, often causing shrinkage of the gums and loosening of the teeth. It helps to improve overall dental health. Research has proven that extracts of gotu kola and pomegranate improves clinical symptoms of chronic periodontitis. 3. Relief from Joint Pain Gotu kola is a powerful anti-inflammatory and helps provide relief for those suffering from joint pain related to problems like arthritis. It's supposed to improve joint function and relieve common arthritis symptoms, according to research published in the June 2009. After taking an active constituent of gotu kola for 21 days, participants experienced reduced joint damage and lower levels of pro-inflammatory cyclooxygenase-2, or COX-2 enzymes, as well as reduced levels of inflammation, leaving researcher to conclude the plant may serve as an effective natural treatment for some forms of arthritis. 4. Skin Health Saponins found in gotu kola are mainly adept at improving the appearance of the skin. Many cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies are concerned in it because of its ability to reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and other blemishes. It prevents the accumulation of scar tissue, which helps to keep your skin beautiful, even after an injury or a surgery. This antioxidant activity to reduce signs of aging is one of the reasons gotu kola is becoming so popular in the west. 5. Anxiety Although the exact chemical pathways are still being researched, there is significant evidence that gotu kola can have a positive effect on anxiety issues for a broad range of patients. Research has revealed that it reduced the frequency and harshness of anxiety attacks and episodes in a group of subjects who suffered from some form of GAD (General Anxiety Disorder). 6. Blood Pressure Research has linked gotu kola with a decrease in many diseases like congestive heart failure, and one of the positive associations with the herb was blood pressure. By relieving tension and anxiety in the arteries and blood vessels, it is able to control blood pressure and reduce strain on the cardiovascular system. This lengthens the "life cycle" of the heart and prevents diseases like atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes from occurring. 7. Nervous Disorders Calming effects of gotu kola that can reduce stress and stimulate healthy sleep can also calm the nervous system directly. For those who suffer from disorders like epilepsy or premature aging, it can have a powerful effect on the quality of life and the severity of the conditions if taken regularly. 8. Gastrointestinal System Traditional medicine used gotu kola leaves to treat severe pain in the stomach, which we now link to gastric ulcers. This treatment is still considered practical, and the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of the leaves can visibly improve the health of the gut and colon. 9. Detoxify the Body Gotu kola has long been known as a mild diuretic and can, thus, stimulate the release of excess toxins, salts, water, and even fat from the body through urination. This release helps to ease tension on the kidneys and generally remove toxins quickly while keeping our energy up and our fluid balances even. There is even some traditional proof showing that gotu kola is used for an energetic boost in the bedroom. Increasing libido is often a side effect of other herbal remedies, and gotu kola is no exception. In addition to eliminating mental fatigue and increasing energy stores in the body, gotu kola can also bring some fire back to your relationship. 11. Beneficial For Hair Loss Gotu Kola is very famous for the treatment of hair loss. This herb also acts as a platform for hair re-growth. Hair loss happens when the hair follicles become weak due to malnourishment. This herb plays a very important role in strengthening the hair follicles and nourishing the scalp. It strengthens the blood vessels in the area and allows the small hair follicles to expand. 12. Wound Healing Gotu kola leaves and salves have long been used in the topical treatment of the skin. The saponins and other organic compounds found in the plant stimulate the healing process at the site of wounds. By stimulating blood flow to the cells and protecting against infections, it can speed the healing process. 13. Cognition Studies have connected gotu kola consumption to increased cognitive abilities. The main explanation for this is the positive impact gotu kola extract can have on the circulatory system, thus oxygenating more of the brain and allowing cognition to improve. The antioxidant effects of gotu kola are also somewhat responsible, as they can stimulate neural pathways by eliminating plaque and free radicals in the brain. This has also made it a popular supplement for aging populations, as there is some evidence to suggest that it can slow down the effects of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. |
