Lately I have been exploring the magic of herbs, they do have a healing aspect we sometimes lack in our westernised world. So this one, Gotu Kola. I have been taking it and feeling how the qualities of the plant unfold within my system, is like the wisdom of the plant works within reading what is it that I truly need and acts accordingly. Like enhancing the health of our inner body.

It is a member of the parsley family, it has no taste or smell. It thrives in and around water. It has small fan-shaped green leaves with white or light purple-to-pink flowers, and small oval fruit. The leaves and stems of the gotu kola plant are the ones used as medicine.

Gotu kola contains certain chemicals that seem to decrease inflammation and also decrease blood pressure in veins. Gotu kola also seems to increase collagen production, which is important for wound healing.

Always ask your doctor before taking any supplements, as this is natural but still needs to be checked by an expert to diagnose the right dosage, and conditions.

Personally to me, its given me a sensation of calmness and just a very interesting feeling of pure wellness.
