Gotu Kola - the longevity herb!

Hi Everyone,

Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica) really is a magical herb. Not only is it full of minerals -- calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, chromium, zinc, selenium, iodine, silicon, germanium and cobalt -- but it contains awesome phytonutrients known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids promote collagen formation and have been shown to concentrate antioxidants into damaged tissue and increase the blood supply as well. Germanium is essential for the regeneration of DNA and for maximising nutritional wellbeing in the body. It also activates oxygen within the body enabling more to be available to the tissues and helps to restore T-cell balance thus heightening immune system function. Cobalt is the key mineral holding vitamin B12 together and yes, you get vitamin B12 in Gotu Kola. The Chinese herbologist Professor Li Chung Yun outlived 23 wives and claimed one of his major nutritional staples was Gotu Kola. He was born in 1677 and died in 1933 -- he lived an amazing 256 years, and it is documented by the Chinese government who celebrated his 150th and 200th Birthday with him. He still gave 3 hours lectures on longevity at the age of 200 for 28 weeks at a time. Ginseng was another herb promoted by Professor Li as contributing to maximum health and longevity (ginseng also contains germanium). He was a strict vegetarian who ate herbs that grew above the ground only and fruit of high alkaline mineral content -- the soils in which he cultivated his foods were rich in humus, minerals and microbial life.

I have never used the powder as I grow it and use it fresh. Start with less and see how you go.

For some reason, I got headaches when I took Gotu Kola. Can you think of any reason for that? TYIA

@changingmyself Hi there, are you sure it was the GK? Test it alone. It is very strong and it may be that your body doesn't want it. It might also be assisting the body to purify you perhaps. If you are on the path of cleansing and regeneration, allow yourself to progress a little further and then try it again. See if that makes a difference. Be well.

Thanks for such a great video! Li Ching Yuen also attributed his first 100 years primarily to Ho Shou Wu, and his second 100 to Goji :) I'm growing Goji at the moment - hoping to see the first fruits this year :)

@ThreeTreasureTonic Wow that's awesome...thanks for the info as well...always like to know more about him - another of his favourite herbs was panax ginseng. It is interesting to note that all four of these plant foods are fairly rich in the element germanium. I plan to do a video on this soon. Be well. :-)
