Description
Brahmi/gotu kola (Centella asiatica) is a vibrant green water-loving herb. With a striking resemblance to the human cerebellum, the cooling leaves are traditionally used to enhance mental performance and support a healthy brain, nervous system, and cognitive function. As a liquid extract, this herb is easy to take and offers fast-acting support.*

Those familiar with the “doctrine of signatures” may not find it surprising that a plant with a leaf that resembles a cerebellum would have an affinity for the brain. A known nootropic herb, one that benefits the brain and improves cognitive function, brahmi/gotu kola is also considered highly sattvic (pure, harmonious) and has been historically eaten by yogis to assist in meditation.
A water-loving, aquatic plant, brahmi/gotu kola is often found growing wild along streams, rice paddy fields, and irrigation ditches, which means the plants can come into contact with contaminated, polluted water. This is why we choose to only work with farms that cultivate gotu kola on organic land and irrigate their fields with pristine, clean water.
