Centella asiatica

in Natural Medicine4 years ago

Centella asiatica the herb of longevity, is another popular Ayurvedic remedy. It’s made from a tasteless, odorless plant with fan-shaped green leaves that grows in and around water.

One small study suggests that gotu kola supplements may improve people’s memory after they have had a stroke.

Moreover, in one study, people with generalized anxiety disorder reported less stress, anxiety, and depression after replacing their antidepressants with gotu kola for 60 .

There is also some evidence that the herb may help prevent stretch marks, reduce varicose veins, help wounds heal faster, and diminish symptoms of eczema and psoriasis. However, more research is needed.

Animal studies further suggest that this Ayurvedic herb may relieve joint pain, but more studies are needed to confirm this effect
