Gotu Kola

Along with Bacopa, Gotu Kola is the other herb called Brahmi, referring to the Brahmins, or holy men, of India who use the two herbs extensively. Like Ginkgo, Gotu Kola is used to increase mental function, capacity, and activity. Unlike Ginkgo, Gotu Kola is calming and even slightly sedative to the body, a combination of effects that make it popular for meditation.

In meditation, Gotu Kola brings a calm sense of clarity and peace, with feelings of detachment from worry and mental agitation.
