GOTU KOL A

-

WHAT IS IT? A plant and member of the parsley family WHERE IS IT FOUND?

India, China and Malaysia

BEST FOR: Easing anxiety.

‘Gotu kola has a soothing effect on the nervous system, relaxing the body – especially the brain when it’s in overdrive – but without having a sedative effect,’ says Landon. Plus, research* found that it may be useful in the treatment of anxiety disorder.

HOW TO TAKE IT: Drink it in a tea. Try a dose of tincture, like Neal’s Yard Remedies Gotu Kola Single Herbal Tincture (£15, Neal’s Yard Remedies†).
