In India Gotu Kola is called Brahmi, meaning "Greatest of the Great"- it is considered the "herb of enlightenment" and the most powerful of the rejuvenating herbs in Ayurvedic medicine.
Recent research has shown that substances found in Gotu Kola can increase collagen synthesis, improve wound healing and reduce inflammation
and scarring. In November 2007, a clinical double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of a topical gel containing Gotu Kola, conducted at a dermatology clinic in Sweden, found that after 4 weeks of treatment the skin was scientifically measured and visibly perceived to be firmer and more elastic*.
