Gotu Kola Powder - Centella asiatica

Gotu kola is a low-growing perennial herb traditionally valued in Ayurvedic medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Known botanically as Centella asiatica, it belongs to the Apiaceae family and is recognized by its small, rounded, cup-shaped leaves. Our Gotu Kola Powder is finely ground for convenient use in herbal and culinary preparations.

This moisture-loving botanical naturally grows in warm, humid environments, particularly around wetlands, marshes, and areas with slow-moving water. It produces delicate green foliage along with small flowers that may appear white, pink, or light purple. The plant is also known by names such as Asiatic pennywort, Indian pennywort, mandukaparni, and ji xue cao.

Gotu kola has a long history of traditional use across India, China, Indonesia, and other parts of Asia. In Ayurveda, it is traditionally regarded as a tridoshic herb and has been incorporated into wellness practices associated with mental clarity, balance, and overall vitality.

Fresh gotu kola leaves are commonly enjoyed as a leafy green in various Asian cuisines. They may be eaten raw in salads, blended into fresh beverages, or combined with ingredients such as lime, coconut, herbs, and spices. The dried powder offers a convenient alternative for incorporating this traditional herb into everyday preparations.
