gotu kola

Gotu kola is an annual, creeping, aquatic plant found in wetlands throughout India and Southeast Asia. Also known as Asiatic pennywort, gotu kola has an important place in the culture of the region with a history of use that dates back centuries. In addition to serving as food, the herb is regarded as a potent restorative in Ayurveda and its regular consumption is said to reward a long life.

Gotu kola is also reputed to strengthen the crown chakra, which is associated with spirituality and one’s connection to the Divine. In fact, yogis enjoy partaking of the herb as a ceremonial tea to enhance meditation.


Safety:  Gotu kola should be taken on an alternating schedule with a two-week “off” period, and for no longer than six months total. This herb may affect how the liver metabolizes medications or increase the effects of certain medicines. Check with your doctor before using gotu kola if you take diuretics, antidepressants, diabetes medications or drugs to lower cholesterol. This herb should not be used during pregnancy or lactation or given to children. Also, because asiaticoside has been associated with stimulating cell growth in skin tumors in animal studies, you should not take gotu kola if you have a history of skin cancer.
