Treat Alzheimer’s disease

Gotu kola has the capacity to improve memory and nerve function, making it potentially useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In fact, a 2012 research on mice discovered that Gotu kola extract improved behavioral impairments in animals with Alzheimer's disease. In lab and animal experiments, the extract was also demonstrated to have a minor effect in protecting brain cells from toxicity. This may also keep the cells from producing the plaque that is associated with Alzheimer's disease.

More study is needed to know how exactly Gotu kola may be utilized to treat Alzheimer's. Before incorporating this into your treatment plan, consult with your doctor. Take 30 to 60 drops of liquid Gotu kola extract three times a day. Dosages may differ between manufacturers, so always read and follow the label.
