Gotu Kola. Why it's a Ruma Naturals must!
In the past decade (at least), South Asian skincare, beauty hacks and rituals have become the norm. But it doesn’t stop at hair oiling, treading for perfectly shaped brows and turmeric for juicy glowy skin.
That’s where Ruma Naturals comes in. Bring you more of the best things from South Asian beauty that’s wonderful to anyone with skin.
One of my all time favourites is Gotu Kola. This plant is in its own league for skin and overall body health.
Used for thousands of years in South Asian countries, Gotu Kola is renowned for its gut health and is loaded with antioxidants.
It gets better.
Its anti-inflammatory properties help increase skin hydration, which also soothes and repairs dry and irritated skin through increased blood flow, which is particularly handy for psoriasis and eczema prone skin.
Superb for skin health, Gotu Kola helps soften lines, wrinkles, stretch marks and scars. Because it helps with collagen production, it’s skin healing so it works well for skin breakouts.
You might also find Gotu Kola at your favourite Sri Lankan restaurant.
This plant is a delicious leafy Sri Lanka dish and is known for its high doses of triterpenoids and beneficial carotenoids. It’s a massive reason Gotu Kola is used as a brain tonic in ayurvedic medicine and consumed in juices, tea and supplements.
We love it so much that all of Ruma Naturals products contain Gotu Kola. Check out our range.
