Gotu Kola (Cut & Sifted, Wildcrafted)

Centella asiatica

Mild, green, and deeply restorative, gotu kola is a revered herb in Ayurvedic and traditional Asian medicine, long used to support cognitive clarity, skin health, and overall vitality. This wildcrafted gotu kola is harvested in Sri Lanka and carefully dried in a cut & sifted form—ideal for teas, infusions, and wellness blends.

Gotu kola contains triterpenoid compounds such as asiaticoside and madecassoside, which have been studied for their role in supporting connective tissue repair, circulation, and nervous system balance. Traditionally referred to as a “brain tonic,” it’s often used in long-term routines for mental calm, memory, and skin renewal.

Tasting Notes:
Mildly bitter, grassy, and mineral-rich with a clean, green finish. Often blended with florals, citrus peel, or mint.

Benefits:
• Traditionally used to support memory, focus, and cognitive balance
• May help promote circulation and support vascular tone
• Used in skin care practices for wound healing and collagen support
• Considered cooling and calming in Ayurvedic tradition—soothes the nervous system

Suggested Uses:
• Herbal Tea or Infusion – Steep 1–2 tsp in hot water for 10–15 minutes; pairs well with tulsi or lemon balm
• Tinctures – Used as part of long-term cognitive and stress support blends

• Culinary Use (Traditional) – In some regions, used in fresh juice or food preparations; dried form best for teas
