Description
Centella Asiatica, also known as CICA or Gotu Kola , has traditionally been used in both Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine for millennia, to help with wound healing and tissue regeneration. In China, Centella Asiatica is known as "Longevity Herb" and “Miracle Elixir of Life”. It has a nickname of “Tiger Grass” because tigers roll in it when they’re injured.
Centella Asiatica’s four active compounds: Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, and Madecassoside. Research suggests they may have antioxidant, anticellulite, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties. It does a great job keeping skin hydrated. Stein explains that it also helps your skin barrier retain moisture and reduces redness and inflammation. That’s especially important for people with conditions like eczema or rosacea, which can dry out and sensitize your skin. Centella Asiatica also contains phytochemicals that are important for reducing oxidative stress on the cells that make up our connective tissue. As a result, these qualities make this herb a popular and potentially useful ingredient in skin care products.
