History of Use: Centella asiatica, or gotu kola, is an ancient herb that has historically been used in holistic medicine. An herbaceous plant native to the wetlands of Asia and termed ‘the herb of longevity’, it is an important ingredient in Indonesia, Chinese, and Ayurvedic medicines. Elephants are known for their longevity and Sri Lankans noticed the elephants were eating gotu kola. The plant was then attributed to providing strength for the immune system, cleansing the body, and promoting a long life. A high concentration of saponins are found naturally in gotu kola and support a multitude of benefits that are useful in cosmetic and personal care applications.
