Uses of Gotu Kola
In a small clinical study, results
suggest that older adults—with a mean age of roughly 65 years old—may benefit
from gotu kola. In fact, older adults experienced better moods. What's more,
the study participants showed improved cognitive function. Cognitive
function may include the following abilities:
However, in a systematic review and
meta-analysis (review and analysis of a collection of studies), gotu kola
didn't seem to improve cognitive function. But it might improve mood by
increasing alertness and relieving anger.
Gotu
kola is commonly used as an herbal supplement for conditions ranging from varicose
veins to Alzheimer’s disease. Some
think it may lower the risk of blood clots after
plane flights, but more research is needed. Experts have looked at gotu kola as
a treatment for other conditions like liver disease, bladder disease,
and hardening of the arteries.
Some of the early research has been promising, but we don't have enough
evidence yet.
A
few studies have found that gotu kola creams or ointments might prevent
scarring and help with wound healing and psoriasis.
These creams may help reduce stretch marks during pregnancy.
Again, more research is needed to know for sure.
The
plant contains compounds like triterpenoid saponins, which are common in
medicinal plants. Some researchers believe these compounds are responsible for
the wide range of health benefits.
Boost
Cognitive Function
Some early
research suggests that gotu kola can enhance your memory and overall cognitive
function, which means it may have potential in treating Alzheimer’s disease. A
2016 study compared the effects of gotu kola extract and folic acid in
improving cognitive abilities after a stroke. Both gotu kola and folic acid
equally benefited participants, while gotu kola was more effective in improving
memory.
Early
studies on mice show that gotu kola extract had a positive effect on mice with
Alzheimer’s disease. While it may show promise in treating Alzheimer’s in
animals, more research is needed to confirm its effects on people.
Varicose
Veins
Several
studies show that gotu kola can be used as a treatment for varicose veins and
venous insufficiency. Participants who took a gotu kola supplement for eight
weeks showed improvements in the health of their veins, including reduced
inflammation and pain.
Reduce
Anxiety
Some
studies show that gotu kola may have a relaxing or anti-anxiety effect. In a
2016 study, researchers found that gotu kola reduced anxiety-induced behavior
in mice that were sleep-deprived for 72 hours. While this research is still
preliminary, it shows some promise in relieving stress and anxiety.
In another
study on humans, researchers found that gotu kola reduced the startle response
in participants, which is often associated with anxiety. However, more evidence
is needed to support the link between gotu kola and anxiety.
