Sold by the gram, $0.0994/g. Please bring or order a bag
MINIMUM ORDER IS 100g OR $5 WORTH and buy a bag or other suitable container (search JAR or BOTTLE on our website).
You can bring your own container if you are picking up. Please make sure that you bring bottles for liquids and wide-mouthed jars or bags for solids. Please make sure that the containers you bring are the right size. To use your container for oils, the bottle must be exactly the right size because I will be filling your order by volume. A 1000mL J jar, not a quart jar. In case of shorting due to metric versus imperial measures, I may fill your container right to the top, your measure might be short, or I may ask you to buy an extra container.
Gotu Kola has been called "the fountain of life" because legend has it that an ancient Chinese herbalist lived for more than 200 years as a result of taking gotu kola.
Historically, gotu kola has also been used to treat #syphilis, #hepatitis, #stomach #ulcers, mental #fatigue, #epilepsy, #diarrhea, #fever, and #asthma. Today, in the U.S. and Europe gotu kola is most often used to treat #varicose #veins and chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where blood pools in the legs. It is also used in ointments to treat psoriasis and help heal minor #wounds.
Gotu kola is not the same as kola nut Cola nitida. Unlike kola nut, gotu kola does not have caffeine and is not a stimulant.
