Description
The Gotu Kola plant is native to East Asia but can grow in marshy areas in many parts of the world. It has been used to treat burns and skin grafts.
Gotu Kola may also help psoriasis. This herb has forged a reputation as an anti-aging herb. It also has sedative and calming properties.
There is some evidence that Gotu Kola may promote blood circulation in the legs by strengthening the veins and capillaries.
