[edit]Description

The stems are slender, creeping stolons, green to reddish-green in color, connecting plants to each other. It has long-

stalked, green, reniform leaves with rounded apices which have smooth texture with palmately netted veins. The

leaves are borne on pericladial petioles, around 2 cm. The rootstock consists of rhizomes, growing vertically down.

They are creamish in color and covered with root hairs.

The flowers are pinkish to red in color, born in small, rounded bunches (umbels) near the surface of the soil. Each

flower is partly enclosed in two green bracts. The hermaphrodite flowers are minute in size (less than 3 mm), with 5-6

corolla lobes per flower. Each flower bears five stamens and two styles. The fruit are densely reticulate, distinguishing

it from species of Hydrocotyle which have smooth, ribbed or warty fruit.

The crop matures in three months, and the whole plant, including the roots, is harvested manually.

[edit]Habitat

Centella grows along ditches and in low, wet areas. In Indian and Southeast Asian centella, the plant frequently

suffers from high levels of bacterial contamination, possibly from having been harvested from sewage ditches.

Because the plant is aquatic, it is especially sensitive to pollutants in the water, which are easily incorporated into the

plant.[1][2]

[edit]Culinary use

Centella is used as a leafy green in Sri Lankan cuisine, where it is called gotu kola. In Sinhalese gotu is translated as

"conical shape" and kola as "leaf". It is most often prepared as malluma (මැ�ල්ලුමැ), a traditional accompaniment

to rice and curry, and goes especially well with vegetarian dishes, such as dhal, and jackfruit or pumpkin curry. It is

considered quite nutritious. In addition to finely chopped gotu kola, malluma almost always contains grated coconut,

and may also contain finely chopped green chilis, chili powder, turmeric powder and lime (or lemon) juice. A variation

of the nutritious porridge known as kola kenda is also made with gotu kola by the Sinhalese people of Sri Lanka. Kola

Kenda is made with very well-boiled red rice (with extra liquid), coconut milk and gotu kola, which is pureed. The

porridge is accompanied with jaggery for sweetness. Centella leaves are also used in sweet "pennywort" drinks.

In Indonesia, the leaves are used for sambai oi peuga-ga, an Aceh type of salad, and is also mixed

into asinan in Bogor.

In Vietnam and Thailand, this leaf is used for preparing a drink or can be eaten in raw form in salads or cold rolls. In

Bangkok, vendors in the famous Jatujak Market sell it alongside coconut, roselle, crysanthemum, orange and other

health drinks.

In Malay cuisine the leaves of this plant are used for ulam, a type of Malay salad.[3]

It is one of the constituents of the Indian summer drink thandaayyee.

[edit]Medicinal effects

Centella is a mild adaptogen, is mildly antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antiulcerogenic, anxiolytic, nervine

and vulnerary, and can act as a a cerebral tonic, a circulatory stimulant, and a diuretic.[4][5]

Centella asiatica may be useful in the treatment of anxiety, and may be a promising anxiolytic agent in the future.[6]

In Thailand, tisanes of the leaves are used as an afternoon stimulant.[7] A decoction of juice from the leaves is thought

to relieve hypertension.[citation needed]A poultice of the leaves is also used to treat open sores.

Richard Lucas claimed in a book published in 1966[8](second edition in 1979) that a subspecies "Hydrocotyle asiatica

minor" allegedly from Sri Lanka also called fo ti tieng, contained a longevity factor called 'youth Vitamin X' said to be

'a tonic for the brain and endocrine glands' and maintained that extracts of the plant help circulation and skin

problems.[9] However according to medicinal herbalist Michael Moore, it appears that there is no such subspecies and

no Vitamin X is known to exist.[10]

Several scientific reports have documented Centella asiatica's ability to aid wound healing[11],[12] which is responsible

for its traditional use in leprosy. Upon treatment with Centella asiatica, maturation of the scar is stimulated by the

production of type I collagen. The treatment also results in a marked decrease in inflammatory reaction and

myofibroblast production.[13]

The isolated steroids from the plant also have been used to treat leprosy.[14][15] In addition, preliminary evidence

suggests that it may have nootropiceffects.[16] Centella asiatica is used to revitalize the brain and nervous system,

increase attention span and concentration,[17] and combat aging.[16] Centella asiatica also has antioxidant properties.

[4] It works for venous insufficiency.[18] It is used in Thailand for opium detoxification.

Followers of Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra, commonly known as Satsangees, all over the world take one or two fresh

leaves with plenty of water in the morning after morning rituals. This is prescribed by Sri Sri Thakur himself.

'Many reports show the medicinal properties of C. asiatica extract in a wide range of disease conditions, such as

diabetic microangiopathy, edema, venous hypertension, and venous insufficiency ([19]. The role of C. asiatica extract

in the treatment of memory enhancement and other neurodegenerative disorders is also well documented.[20] The first

report concerning the antitumor property ofC. asiatica extract was on its growth inhibitory effects on the development

of solid and ascites tumors, which lead to increased life span of tumor-bearing mice.[21] The authors also suggested

the extract directly impeded the DNA synthesis. "In our study, C. asiatica extract showed an obvious dose dependent

inhibition of cell proliferation in breast cancer cells."[22]

known Brahmi; both have some common therapeutic properties in Vedic texts and are used for improving memory. C.

asiatica is calledbrahmi particularly in north India,[25][26] although that may be a case of mistaken identity introduced

during the 16th century, when brahmi was confused withmandukaparni, a name for C. asiatica.[27]

Probably the earliest study of mandookaparni as medya rasayana (improving the mental ability) was carried out at the

Dr. A. Lakshmipathy Research Centre (now under CCRAS)[28]

[edit]Folklore

Gotu kola is a minor feature in the longevity tradition of the T'ai chi ch'uan master Li Ching-Yuen. He purportedly lived

to be 197 or 256, due in part to his usage of traditional Chinese herbs, including gotu kola.

Centella Asiatica. pegaga of choiceI am a born again aficionado of the Pegaga. Most of us grow the pegaga as an ornamental plant, but it has been cultivated for centuries for its culinary and medicinal benefits.

In many western countries, however, this plant is treated as a weed 'enemy number one'. For example, my sister who resides in America is so wary of this weed, she would have nothing to do with it or take the risk of introducing it to her garden and she would retort, "in no time, it will take over my lawn."

Locally named Pegaga, it is known by many names such as Pennywort, Indian Pennywort, Indian

Ginseng, Horse-hoof, Gotu Kola, Takip-kohol, Pegagan, Brahmi, Ping Da Wan (崩大碗), Di Qien Cao

(地錢草), Zhi Xue Cao (积雪草).

Although this plant can be called by their interchangeable names, it would seems that different species have different physical characteristics and contain different medicinal and anti-oxidant benefits and the specie that stands out as the most beneficial is the Centella Asiatica.

Centella Asiatica belongs to the sub-family Apiaceae, and is native to India, Sri Lanka, Northern Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia etc.

For centuries, Centella Asiatica has been valued as a medicinal herb in Ayurvedic, traditional Chinese and African medicines. In parts of Africa, this plant has been used in the treatment of leprosy, bronchitis, asthma and syphilis. In India, it has traditionally been regarded as a potent brain tonic in treating senility and memory loss. In Chinese traditional medicine, it is used for the treatment of tonsilitis, urinary tract infections, hepatitis, jaundice and dysentery; as an antidote for arsenic poisoning, toxic mushroom poisoning, snake bites and scabies. Centella Asiatica is reportedly an active ingredient of many drugs and cosmetic in Europe, U.S.A. and Japan.

Centella Asiatica has been associated with longevity and anti-aging as it is believed to re-vitalize the brain capacity, increase attention span and concentration, and dubbed the elixir of life. 

Description of the Centella Asiatica is such:

Perennial, creeping roots at the nodes

Leaves, 2-4cm wide, kidney-shaped; leaf joins the stalk in a v-shaped slot

Leaves have serrated margins, hence appeared like miniature fans

Small-sized leaves usually hug the ground and have short stalks; large leaves can have stalks up to 20cm long

Diminutive pink flowers usually set of 2 to 4, side by side as an umbel, developing from the stem nodes

Seeds form in flat, oval capsules, usually containing two tiny, brown, kidney shaped seeds.

As with everything else in life, searching for the true thing could be the hardest. I was on the verge of giving up as apparently this particular specie is almost impossible to find nowadays. In some markets, you may find Centella Asiatica being sold as a vegetable or herb or in the form of bottled juice or beverage. However, most often, the specie that is found in markets are of a different local variety.The varieties available locally are known as Pegaga renek, Pegaga Lebar Daun, Pegaga Cina/Nyonya, Pegaga Gajah, Pegaga Salad and Pegaga Brunei.

There are numerous other similar looking plants that have often been mistaken for the Centella Asiatica notably; the Swamp Pennywort (Centella Cordifolia), Kidney Weed (Dichondra Repens), Alehoof (Glecoma Hederacea). While these similar looking plants may have some medicinal properties, they are definitely not the same and some could be just weeds and does not possess any benefits. I have not learn of any specie that is poisonous or toxic though.

As any rate, I am quite finicky about having the real or true thing, and in this case, it is all the more important that I find the true Centella Asiatica.

I guess sometimes the most common thing that was available one time ago had become rare and insignificant during the modern times.I often find these herbs sold in pasarmalam. Maybe you can check it out there too.
