GOTU KOLA - Tiny, delicate water lily from the island of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) off the southeastern coast of India. This is the plant the famed elephants of Ceylon snatched up a mouthful of before going into the water for their frolic. The memories of these elephants were said to be phenomenal and the subject of many stories and much amazement. Guess what? People can eat Gotu Kola leaves also and their memory can improve. Memory temporarily winking out is not just a problem of the aged, as you well know. Younger folks just don't talk about it. If you would live, and live well, for a very long time you must have a very powerful nervous system and this is what Gotu Kola produces. Gotu Kola reduces brain fatigue and revitalizes worn out bodies. In many religious orders, Gotu Kola is used to correct conditions of the skin that look like fish scales (ichthyosis), and parasitic swellings of the body (elephantiasis), leprosy, syphilitic ulcers and bruises. Mental disorders and blood pressure problems have also yielded to the blood cleaning and brain restoring powers of Gotu Kola. Gotu Kola also deserves its reputation as a poison antidote.

DOSE:   Therapeutically and for memory, 20 to 40 drops three times per day after meals, but you must remember to take it. For a stronger nervous system, brain, and memory, a year of use can made a great difference and thereafter, 20 to 40 drops per day as a maintenance.
