Gotu Kola should not be confused with the caffeine-containing kola nut, used in the original recipes for Coca-Cola. Gotu Kola is a creeping marsh plant and is a member of the parsley family. It grows in tropical areas, primarily in India and some parts of Africa. Asiaticoside, a primary component of Gotu Kola works like an antibiotic and has been shown to be effective against skin diseases in general and tuberculosis. In the 1970’s, Italian and other European researchers found evidence that Gotu Kola could significantly improve symptoms of varicose veins, particularly with overall discomfort, tiredness, and swelling. Gotu Kola has also been suggested as a treatment for hemorrhoids because they are a type of varicose vein. It works as a blood purifier and in strengthening the heart, as well as improving the flow of blood through the body by strengthening the veins and capillaries and reduces the pain and swelling due to phlebitis, as well as leg cramps, swelling, heaviness and tingling in the legs. This product is particularly useful for those people who are inactive or confined to bed and are bedridden.
