Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) is a calming adaptogen with a long history in Ayurveda and TCM as a brain tonic, tissue healer, and rejuvenating herb. Rich in triterpenes and antioxidants, it's commonly brewed as tea to support focus, wound healing, and mental calm. Often included in nourishing infusions or skincare routines for its inside-out effects.
- Traditionally used for memory, clarity, learning, and nervous system resilience
- Promotes healthy circulation and supports healing in skin, veins, and connective tissues
- May improve mood, focus, and reduce stress — not stimulating, but gently uplifting
- Soothes skin from the inside and out — commonly paired with skincare routines
- Respected in Ayurveda as a “rasayana” and longevity tonic for body and mind

Topical use: Steep for compresses, or blend infused oil into creams for skin healing and scars.
Pets: May be used under vet guidance in aging or anxious animals for cognitive and wound support.
