Gotu Kola (Brahmi)

Brahmi/Gotu Kola

Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) is revered for its calming, cooling, and clarifying properties. It is traditionally used in Ayurveda as well as Chinese Medicine and Western herbalism to support cognitive function, improve focus, and promote a sense of balance throughout the mind-body system as a whole.

Gotu kola is also known by the name brahmi, as well as Indian pennywort, madecassol, and hydrocotyle.

What Is Gotu Kola Good For?

In Ayurveda, gotu kola is renowned for its ability to calm and rejuvenate the system, as well as its affinity for the brain and nervous system.

Because of its cooling nature, gotu kola is also an excellent choice for balancing pitta dosha and removing excess heat from the blood. It is also commonly used to support the clear skin and healthy, lustrous hair.

Thanks to these benefits and more, brahmi is a prized and precious plant, promoting wellness throughout the entire system.

Using Gotu Kola for Cognition

Because of its affinity for the mind, gotu kola is included in a group of herbs known as nootropics, which are recognized to be especially supportive of the brain and cognition.

The gotu kola herb is commonly used to enhance memory, intelligence, concentration, and awareness. Considered sattvic, or pure, it promotes a sense of calm alertness without causing drowsiness or overstimulation. This quality also makes it one of many powerful Ayurvedic herbs for stress relief.
