In both China, where it is called ji xue sao, and India, where Ayurvedic tradition knows it as brahmi, Gotu Kola tea is prescribed as a brain booster to aid concentration, improve memory retention and improve the speed by which the brain processes information.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterestingly, modern scientific research appears to back up the claims. Accordingly, it seems Gotu kola may regulate the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), neurotransmitters that have been linked to anxiety. By regulating GABA, the theory goes that the bran can better focus on the task, test or undertaking at hand. Not bad right?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven better, is the fact that these same medicinal traditions maintain that Gotu Kola may be helpful in easing suffering related to everything from hepatitis, to ulcers and epilepsy, to diarrhea, fever and asthma. Modern research suggests it may even aid in promoting liver and kidney health. (Now we see how the herb got its nickname—the herb of longevity.) Add this Organic cut Gotu Kola to custom herb and tea blends, and let nature do its thing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Kitchen Pantry","offers":[{"title":"125 gram Bulk Bag","offer_id":47974384795811,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8179\/files\/gotukolapile_110855f2-d413-41c4-b4a8-acbbcbce5a1a.jpg?v=1786301513","url":"https:\/\/www.thekitchenpantry.com\/products\/metropolitan-tea-company-organic-gotu-kola-leaves","provider":"The Kitchen Pantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
