FAQ

Gotu kola, scientifically named Centella asiatica, is a versatile herbaceous plant known by various names across different languages and cultures. In Sanskrit, it is called “Mandukaparni,” which translates to “the plant that resembles the shape of a frog’s foot,” reflecting its distinctive leaf shape. In Chinese, it is known as “Ji xue cao,” meaning “herb of centipedes,” highlighting its traditional use in treating skin conditions. Other names: spadeleaf, hydrocotyle, manduki-parni, madekassol and thankuni.

Propagation of Gotu kola primarily involves both seeds and vegetative methods. Seeds are sown in well-draining soil, kept consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs within 10-14 days under optimal conditions of 20-25°C. Vegetative propagation is achieved through root divisions or stem cuttings. Healthy sections of the root or stem are planted in moist soil and kept in a warm, humid environment until roots develop and new growth emerges.

Gotu kola is well-adapted to various climates, thriving in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. It prefers moist, fertile soil and partial shade to full sun exposure. In addition to its use in traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Gotu kola is also valued in culinary practices. Its fresh leaves are used in salads, soups, and stir-fries, while its dried form is brewed into teas or extracted for medicinal preparations.

Overall, Gotu kola’s global recognition underscores its significance as a medicinal herb and culinary ingredient, offering a range of health benefits and culinary delights across diverse cultures.
