In India and China, Gotu Kola was known as a longevity herb. Ancient Chinese medical texts report that the Daoist master and herbalist Li Ching-Yuen died at the ripe age of 256 years old and attribute his longevity in large part to the use of Gotu Kola on a daily basis.
In traditional herbal medicine, Gotu kola has been used for varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, psoriasis and the treatment of minor wounds.
