• Gotu Kola Benefits
Gotu kola is a almost everyday eating vegetable/ green leaves in Sri Lanka. We make a salad with raw finely chopped leaves and stems mixed with grated coconut lime juice, onions and green chilies. The leaves salad or juice give lot of health benefits. Gotu kola name also is in Sri Lankan Sinhala language. Meaning funnel like leaves. So it is not chinese thing. But may be it has spread to China and other asian countries. But the plant is native to Sri Lanka.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for this informative video. My ND just prescribed this to me for anxiety, Edema, swelling & venous insufficiency in the lower legs/ankles. Can already feel a reduction in inflammation and anxiety throughout my whole body. This herb is a Godsend! 😇 Did not realize it was an antiinflammatory until hearing you mention it in your video. You are very knowledgeable. Saw that there are a lot of comments concerning possible adverse effects on the liver, but my intuition tells me there is a lot of misinformation out there, as alcohol & Tylenol are far more dangerous to the liver than anything else, and they are ao readily available and socially acceptable in today's world ~ despite the toxic side effects of each. Natural herbs are the way to go! :-)
I love to hear stories like this thank you so much for sharing!
Awesome. Still working?
Gotu Kola is superior in my opinion to Gingko Biloba for memory issues because it does so much more for the mind. But as far as memory it is a gem. 💎
Thanks for sharing! ❤️
This is something I started the other day on the first or second night I had a very lucid dream. I think it’s because I had fasted for 7 days and started really detoxing my body, anyway it’s early days for me I feel much sharper and my brain fog is no we’re near as bad. Thanks for the information much appreciated
What brand are you taking?
Great video Doctor.
Wow never knew it was anti inflammatory! Or how inflammation can literally affect our brain. Thank you for this insight. On my holistic healing journey. Will recommend this channel to my friends!
Thanks for watching! These herbs are so powerful and have some amazing properties. Best of luck on your healing journey!
Very nice herb. Plenty around the yard. Got juices and drank each morning. I feel great healing on my joins. No pain, feel great
Love to hear it! Thanks for sharing ❤️
How many days and how much you have drunk please reply
Very good
I’ve been drinking Gotu Kola Tea
Ijust started to use it ,illfind out im a few weeks.
If you find it raw in the store buy and eat it like salad. It more beneficial that way. I'm from South East Asia and my parents ate it that way said it gives more nutrients by eating it raw, you also can it other way.
Thanks for sharing that tip!
Does anyone have any feedback on using fresh Gotu Kola leaves internally for Eczema?
Ohhh it’s Cica in Korean skincare 😮
I wonder if it’d help someone with a TBI
If you have genital or vaginal Herpes, use the Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule Facial Serum on the blister on the first day of the flare.
Wash the are with soap, dry it well.
Soak a 100% cotton round with Centella y directly apply on the sore(s), do not rinse.
Reapt 2-3 times a day.
If you start applying Centella the first day of the flare, the flare will last maybe 2 days max but it wont be payful.
If start later, it will stop in 2 days max.
Just bought some
Can you tell me if its safe to take heart medication like aspirin, Satins, and is it safe for the kidneys, I'm hoping to take it for burning legs thanks.
Is it toxic for the liver ?
Thanks for the video.
1. Which do you prefer for brain function between this and Bacoppa Mineri?
2. Are u concerned about the purported liver damage this herb causes?
My personal fav is bacopa because it worked well for me. I’ve not had any issue with patients and liver damage with this herb
i just ordered some from serenity herbal i was so curious what was all the talk for this herb
I hope it works for you!
Watched this video because I just had one dose of Gotu Kola extract for anxiety and stress. I'm really hoping this works for me.
Did it work for you ?
I started with 3 x 100mg in each meal for about 3 months. Now I am using 100mg to 200mg a day when I need to focus, before an important work or meeting on weekdays. I don't use it on weekends. It helped me a lot, and I can say that it saved my career. Is it safe to use it this way for longer periods? I want to use it for years like all my life at least 10 years or more. How can I use it this way? Is it harmful to my organs or is there any proven harm? How to adjust the dosage to use it for years?
I would definitely recommend you check with your practitioner when thinking about longer term use. As you need to consider your medical history. I generally will have clients cycle off every few months for about 2 weeks and reassess if it is still necessary.
Hey Dr. Jessica can you use topically for eczema during pregnancy? It’s in a cream a friend recommended and I’m not sure.
I've seen it used in topical creams during pregnancy to help prevent stretch marks. Just not orally during pregnancy. To be safe always check with your doc ❤Not sure if you can access this link but here is a research paper on it www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5440454/pdf/main.pdf
What about info on the web (Mt.Sinai being one) about it's dangers in the liver?
from what I've researched the cases that reported liver issues were unable to rule out contamination. There were other studies where liver function was measured while on the herb and there was no liver damage. In this case this is a herb that you can talk to your doctor about and have liver function monitored while taking the herb. Or substitute for another herb.
What the daily dosage recommendation? Heard your suppose to cycle it off after 2 weeks due to it being some what toxic to your ~liver i believe ?
There is concern that gotu kola may cause liver toxicity in some patients. There are at least four case reports of hepatotoxicity associated with gotu kola; however, hepatotoxic contaminants cannot be ruled out, as laboratory analysis was not conducted on the products used. Additionally, the doses of gotu kola used in these cases were not reported (13182,92506). In a clinical trial where liver function was monitored, taking gotu kola 120 mg daily for 6 months was not associated with changes in liver function (11065). I would say to always work with a practitioner and to get herbs/supplements from a source that does 3rd party testing to ensure safety.
Can i take gotu kola capsules at 16 years old?
These capsules i have are 450mg each capsule i believe , and i will take one every morning
you should talk with your practitioner about dosage, they will be able to give you detailed information based on your weight, other conditions or other medications/supplements
Hi, thanks for the video. What would you say the ideal / safe dosage if I take it as a Leaf Juice diluted with water, 8oz?
if you are using the raw herb and making your own juice with water, I don't see benefit in drinking more than 8oz a day. They often do this in places like Thailand. You might want to check out some recipes online...sometimes it's often called pennywort
@@JessicaNortonND Thanks there's an interesting research read at Pubmed on this herb, how it reduces H. pylori colonization.
@@PereraN it’s really has some amazing properties! Thanks for sharing
@@PereraN thanks I'll check that out!
Hello, I am using 200-300mg a day to help with my cellulite and skin. Is it ok to do so for 6 weeks and then stop for a while. I have heard it is harmful for the liver but not if I respect the dose I suppose ? Thanks
that dosage and time frame seems to be within most of the studies i've seen. Always best to check in with your practitioner
It worked great but I started having burning sensation just after a couple days . I wish I didn’t react because it was giving me a great boost.
thanks for sharing your experience
I'm drink assetic immunity booster juice gotu cola 🥤

@@leefurman5917 awesome! I hope it helps
Just found it in my lawn, I am super excited. suffered a stroke in 2020, cant wait to see if it will help with the lingering side effects. Thank you for the video.
@@florencebugembe oh wow thats so cool that it's in your lawn! thank you for watching!
@@JessicaNortonND I cannot thank you enough the changes are unbelievable! So far my affected side has slowly come to life it started with tingling feelings like pins and needles, then progressed to basic awareness - like I knew where my arms and legs were in space without looking at them. Now the formerly closed fist is open, I mean I could go on... and on... IT WORKS!
Thank you again Jessica 🙏👏❤️
I heard it firms the skin is that correct?
it's thought to help increase or stimulate collagen production which could lead to the appearance of firmer skin
Do cica and gotu kula are the same?
Yes both are names for centella asiatica
Where store I can buy gotokula
Link in description box
can gotu kola be taken in the evening without disturbing the sleep cycle? especially since it works on the gaba neurotransmitter. thanks
It does have some mild sedative action so taking it at night should be ok. Let us know how it goes!
Combination of bacopa and guta kola whould improve learning and memory?
sounds like a great combination. Bacopa is a wonderful nootropic
The bacopa I just ordered is combined with this so that's why I looked it up.
🌌🌍
I smoke it
Interesting
It's linked to possible liver damage
in the studies I came across there were 4 cited cases, however it was mentioned that contamination of the products could not be ruled out. This is why I always recommend working with your doc, in which case liver function can be monitored
@@JessicaNortonNDso is it fine to supplement gotu kola at 21?
I don't think it has enough possible benefits to outweigh it's tradeoffs.
ok
Grow it in your garden like a Lilly plant, eat the leaves …
