Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Oil

Ancient Herb for Mental Clarity, Skin Vitality & Nervous System Balance

Also known as Gotu Kola, Centella asiatica is a small, creeping herb native to Asia, now flourishing in tropical and temperate wetland regions across Africa and the United States. Easily found along stream banks, rice paddies, and swampy terrain, this aquatic plant has long been revered in Ayurvedic and traditional Asian medicine for its ability to rejuvenate the mind and enhance cognitive function.

With its distinctive rounded leaves—visually reminiscent of the human cerebellum—Gotu Kola aligns with the ancient “doctrine of signatures,” which suggests that herbs reflect the parts of the body they benefit. Appropriately, Centella Asiatica is widely regarded as a supreme herb for the brain and nervous system.

The Dual Identity of Brahmi

In Ayurveda, the name Brahmi—which signifies “the feminine essence of cosmic consciousness”—has historically referred to two herbs: Bacopa monnieri and Centella asiatica. While Southern India associates Brahmi with Bacopa, in Northern India it typically denotes Centella asiatica. Both, however, are celebrated for their ability to promote mental clarity, calm, and cognitive strength.
