Centella

Centella, also known as Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica L.) is a medicinal plant that belongs to the Apiaceae or the Umbelliferae family. Although it’s originally from Asia, in today’s world it’s particularly widespread in India, Australia and in Africa, especially in wetlands and marshes or near rivers and streams. Its aerial parts were traditionally used in Indian medicine; they are still used in phytotherapy because they reduce cellulite, contribute to microcirculation function (for heavy legs) and support memory and cognitive function.
