No it's a scam this is what I found. Scientific Name: Gotu Kola
Other Names: Bramhi, Centella asiatica, Hydrocotyle asiatica, Indian Pennywort, Marsh Penny
Who is this for?
Uses
Note: Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) is not related to the cola nut (Cola acuminata, Cola nitada, other Cola species) of South America.
In recent animal studies, oral gotu kola has been shown to have anticonvulsant, pain-relieving, and sedative effects. All of these central nervous system effects are thought to be related to increased levels of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) that are associated with taking gotu kola. GABA is a neurotransmitter (a chemical that carries messages from nerve cells to other cells) that helps to regulate the speed of nerve cell firing. GABA is also known to help prevent seizures and promote relaxation. Very early results from an animal study show that gotu kola may also help prevent brain cell damage caused by Alzheimer's disease. The exact ways that gotu kola may affect the central nervous system are not completely known and more research is needed to confirm or disprove these effects.
Due mostly to the actions of chemicals known as asiaticoside and madecassoside that it contains, gotu kola may prevent, delay, and treat a condition known as chronic venous insufficiency. Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when valves in the veins that carry blood back to the heart are weak or damaged and blood collects in the veins of the legs. This collection of blood can lead to varicose veins, spider veins, or sores on the legs. More serious results can include blood clots in the legs. Asiaticoside and madecassoside may help keep veins and other blood vessels from leaking. Because it strengthens the walls of blood vessels, gotu kola may also be effective for slowing retinopathy, the gradual break down of the retina in the eyes. It may also help to relieve hemorrhoids. These same effects are thought to strengthen the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, making gotu kola potentially useful for treating ulcers. All of these possible oral uses for gotu kola also need more study before they can be recommended.
