Gotu Kola Herb AF
Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica) has been suggested to enhance integrity and vascularization of connective tissue and skin, hastens wound healing, stimulates hair and nail growth, improves elasticity and strengthen blood vessels, nerve tonic, circulatory disorders, arteriosclerosis, depression, schizophrenia, senility, psoriasis, age related disorders, and fibrocystic disorders.
The primary active constituents of gotu kola are saponins (also called triterpenoids), which include asiaticoside, madecassoside and madasiatic acid. These saponins may prevent excessive scar formation by inhibiting the production of collagen (the material that makes up connective tissue) at the wound site. These constituents are also associated with promoting wound healing. One preliminary trial in humans found that a gotu kola extract improved healing of infected wounds (unless the infection had reached bone). Additionally, a review of French studies suggests that topical gotu kola can improve healing of burns and wounds. Clinical trials have also shown it can help those with chronic venous insufficiency. Another trial found gotu kola extract helpful for preventing and treating enlarged scars (keloids).
