Gotu Kola has been used for thousands of years as a nutritive herbal tonic in both Traditional Ayurvedic Medicine and in the Ancient Asian Herbal tradition. It is used in many traditional culinary dishes throughout India, China and Indonesia where it is eaten raw in salads or used as a daily tonic as a tea. It appears in many longevity myths. In one piece of lore, Chinese Herbalist, martial artist and Qigong master Li Ching-Yuen is said to have lived past 250 years of age due to using various herbs including Gotu Kola.

According to the energetic principles of Ayurveda, Gotu Kola is bitter, astringent and sweet in the Rasa taste energy, cooling in action according to Virya and balancing for all three constitutions such as Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas. It is considered a wonderful daily herb to support general well-being, vitality and health.

How to Use In The Kitchen And On-The-Go:

While most supercritical extracts are only available in a liquid form, Organic Traditions proprietary technology offers this dual-extraction in an easy to use, semisoluble, free flowing powder. The powder is extremely concentrated. Adjust the amount for your needs and for each unique application.

⅛-¼ of a teaspoon of Organic Traditions Gotu Kola Smoothie Booster powder can be added to 8-16oz. water, coconut water, any beverage, smoothie or recipe. Make warm tea-like infusions by adding the powder to warm water (not boiling) and a natural sweetener of your choice such as Organic Traditions Yacon Syrup or Organic Traditions Coconut Palm Sugar.

A cup of Gotu Kola tea (do not use hot or boiling water – lukewarm water is fine) with Yacon or Coconut Palm Sugar is wonderful before any mental activity or meditative practice or can be used as a daily tonic. In traditional Ayurveda, Gotu Kola is often combined with Brahmi in a milk decoction or combined with Ghee. You can choose to use almond milk or any other non-dairy milk as an alternative.

Please note that Gotu Kola has a very bitter taste and so use very little and combine with a sweetener of your choice.
