acque mariane

1) Acqua di Lourdes, elemento terra, predominano le frequenze A-G, è adatta alla purificazione,

2) Acqua di Montichiari, elemento acqua, predominano le frequenze B-F, utile per l’elevazione energetica e spirituale dell’essere

3) Acqua di Medjugoije, corrispondente all’elemento aria, predominano le frequenze C- E, utile per l’assimilazione corretta di ossigeno ed alimenti,

4) Acqua di San Damiano, elemento fuoco, predomina la frequenza D, utile nelle problematiche nervose (ved. “L’energia delle acque a luce bianca”, E. Ciccolo - Mediterranee


Acque Mariane
"...la malattia non attende un rimedio dall'esterno ma una comprensione profonda dalla quale scaturisce la possibilità di una guarigione di tutti i piani dell'essere attraverso una risonanza che ciascun malato trova con frequenze di luce che gli sono necessarie e che un'Acqua gli conduce. Un' Acqua informata dalla luce di un corpo i cui piani non conoscono alterazioni, cadute, malattie, un corpo di assunzione che è la memoria della nostra origine.
Quest'Acqua agisce su di noi come su ogni organismo vivente e ricolegga l'uomo al suo ambiente riconducendolo a Dio."

Dottoressa Enza Maria Ciccolo

la dott.ssa Enza Ciccolo ha scoperto che le fonti sacre presenti nei luoghi di apparizione mariana possiedono TUTTE le sette frequenze di base su cui - secondo la scuola francese di auricolomedicina del dott. Nogier - risuonano i vari tessuti biologici. Tali frequenze sono:

Frequenza A (ca. 2,5 Hz) energia di tipo elettrico, frequenza di base dei tessuti, corrisponde alla cellula, alle mucose, alla pelle.
Frequenza B (ca. 5 Hz) energia di tipo magnetico, regola le funzioni respiratorie, digestive ed endocrine - tranne quelle surrenaliche.
Frequenza C (ca. 10 Hz) energia di tipo magnetico-polarizzata, regola le funzioni circolatorie, muscolari ed ossee, il sistema renale e genitale.
Frequenza D (ca. 20 Hz) energia conduttrice di tutte le altre energie, regola l’equilibrio delle simmetrie, cioè il bilanciamento tra i due emisferi.
Frequenza E (ca. 40 Hz) energia di tipo magnetico-polarizzata, regola le funzioni dell’apparato neurologico e neurovegetativo.
Frequenza F (ca. 80 Hz) energia di tipo magnetico, regola i centri della sottocorteccia cerebrale che comandano le funzioni della frequenza E, è correlata alla sensazione di sentirsi a proprio agio o a disagio.
Frequenza G (ca. 160 Hz) energia di tipo elettrico, corrisponde alla coscienza, è influenzata da tutte le altre frequenze ma a sua volta è in grado di influenzarle.
Le acque sacre a sette frequenze sono dette “a luce bianca” (o anche “Acque Bianche”) e possono essere suddivise secondo la risonanza con i 4 elementi: 1) Acqua di Lourdes, elemento terra, predominano le frequenze A-G, è adatta alla purificazione, 2) Acqua di Montichiari, elemento acqua, predominano le frequenze B-F, utile per l’elevazione energetica e spirituale dell’essere 3) Acqua di Medjugoije, corrispondente all’elemento aria, predominano le frequenze C- E, utile per l’assimilazione corretta di ossigeno ed alimenti, 4) Acqua di S. Damiano, elemento fuoco, predomina la frequenza D, utile nelle problematiche nervose (ved. “L’energia delle acque a luce bianca”, E. Ciccolo - Mediterranee).

Vi sono molti Luoghi Alti, voluti e risvegliati dall'Energia Femminile che si è manifestata come la "Vergine", che sono stati attivati proprio in particolari punti fisici e in certi momenti storici perché dovevano dare un certo tipo di aiuto all'umanità.
Quando avviene un'apparizione é come se una forza interna avesse desiderio di uscire, di espandersi, di aiutare, é come se tutto fosse pronto per un esplosione di luce e di amore.
Nel tempo, l'energia del Luogo produce una vibrazione spirituale che carica l'ambiente, le persone, gli animali, i vegetali fino a che, in un momento preciso, si elevano sia fisicamente sia spiritualmente, tanto da permettere alla Divinità di appoggiare il Suo piede su questo gradino che, in funzione di tutto ciò che li ha preceduti, hanno formato. E avviene il Miracolo.
Nel baricentro delle piramidi energetiche si trova sempre dell'acqua. A Lourdes, a Fatima, a Medjugorije, a San Damiano, a Montichiari (BS) troviamo l'acqua ed é sempre un'acqua carica di energie utili all'uomo.
E' una volontà che si esprime equamente con tutti i suoi figli in qualsiasi luogo della Terra questi si trovino.

L'acqua di Lourdes che scaturisce sotto la grotta dell'Apparizione, é un'acqua che é adatta alla purificazione, è un lavacro universale ed é molto utile alla patologie della pelle. E' un buon calmante per il sistema nervoso centrale, purifica ed è molto utile per la guarigione delle malattie della pelle: allergie, eritemi, eczemi, herpes, foruncoli, bruciori, punture, arrossamenti, Fuoco di Sant'Antonio. Calma il sistema nervoso ed è molto utile per problemi di psichismo ed in molti casi di tumore ha dato ottimi risultati.
Normalmente viene utilizzata versando direttamente alcune gocce sul punto interessato, di solito al mattino appena alzati. Secondo la Medicina Tradizionale Cinese quest'Acqua è associata all'elemento Terra ed ha caratterstiche Yang.

Il più noto santuario Mariano è quello di Lourdes, ai piedi dei Pirenei, in Francia. L’11 febbraio 1858, in quella cittadina la Madonna apparve a una ragazza di quattordici anni di nome Bernadette Soubirous. La giovane era andata, con la sorella Maria e un’amica, a cercare legna. Entrata in una grotta, alla periferia dell’abitato, vide una signora bellissima, vestita di un lungo abito bianco con una fascia azzurra ai fianchi e il rosario tra le mani.

Da quel giorno e fino al 26 luglio dello stesso anno, la Madonna apparve a Bernadette altre 17 volte. Nell’apparizione del 25 febbraio, disse alla ragazza di andare alla fonte a lavarsi e a bere. Ma non c’erano fonti, non c’erano sorgenti. La Signora indicò un punto esatto. La ragazza vi si recò e poiché non vedeva acqua cominciò a scavare con le mani. Poco dopo, da quella piccola buca scavata da Bernadette cominciò a scorrere acqua in abbondanza. Un cieco si bagnò gli occhi con quell’acqua e riacquistò la vista all’istante. Cominciò così la storia della prodigiosa acqua della Madonna di Lourdes, oggi famosa in tutto il mondo.

A Lourdes arrivano ogni anno circa sei milioni di pellegrini. Molti sono infermi e vengono immersi, per un bagno, in grandi piscine dove è raccolta l’acqua che sgorga dalla fonte miracolosa. Sono migliaia e migliaia le guarigioni avvenute all’improvviso in seguito a quel bagno. E di quelle guarigioni, una settantina sono state riconosciute dalla Chiesa come portentosi miracoli.

Anche la Scienza si è interessata delle guarigioni che avvengono a Lourdes. L’acqua prodigiosa è stata sottoposta a tutte le analisi scientifiche possibili, che non hanno mai messo in risalto niente di straordinario. Un fatto tuttavia ha sempre sconcertato gli scienziati. Nell’acqua delle piscine di Lourdes entrano ogni giorno centinaia di ammalati. Alcuni affetti da piaghe purulente e sanguinanti. A sera l’acqua è sporca, torbida, inquinatissima, piena di germi. Eppure, anche se viene cambiata solo due volte la settimana, nessun ammalato è mai stato contagiato durante quei bagni.

Negli ultimi anni, l’acqua di Lourdes è stata studiata anche da scienziati che si avvalgono di metodi di ricerca nuovi, e i risultati ottenuti sono interessanti. La dottoressa Enza Ciccolo, biologa. Laureatasi a Pisa, ha lavorato nei laboratori di varie università e in quelli dell’Istituto Mario Negri di Milano, ha studiato per 7 anni a Lione in Francia, presso il Centro del professor Paul Nogier, neurofisiologo, fondatore della auricolomedicina, apprendendo le tecniche e le teorie che riguardano gli influssi della luce sul corpo umano.
Altri esperimenti interessanti sull’acqua di Lourdes sono stati compiuti anche dal ricercatore giapponese dottor Emoto Masaru.

L'acqua di Medjugorje sgorga nella fontana accanto alla chiesa dell'Apparizione della Madonna, avvenuta nel 1981, e lavora sul piano fisico e spirituale, permettendo all'uomo l'elevazione spirituale. Utilizzata nelle patologie del sistema deambulatorio e come riequilibrante fisico e spirituale, nella regolazione di ossa e muscoli, nei problemi cardiovascolari e reumatici, nelle patologie del sangue, genitali ed urinarie. Utile anche per nevralgie, nevriti e paralisi periferiche.

A Montichiari l'acqua della sorgente presente sul luogo dell'Apparizione si é caricata di un'energia adatta alla nutrizione, quindi utile all'assimilazione degli alimenti e dell'ossigeno e per la loro equilibrata utilizzazione.

A San Damiano é l'acqua del pozzo, anche qui vicino all'apparizione, che conserva questa grande energia da utilizzare per risolvere i problemi legati alla corteccia cerebrale: allontana gli stati d'ansia e il nervosismo.

L'acqua Asbesto proviene da ruscelli e fonti incontaminati, è un'acqua di trasmutazione, aiuta i cambiamenti, a lasciare andare il vecchio per poter accedere al nuovo. Aiuta nella ricerca spirituale della propria strada.

L'acqua di Santa Maria alla Fontana sgorga dagli undici ugelli collocati sotto l'altare dell'omonima chiesa in Milano. E' molto utile nei problemi di deambulazione e riattiva quei processi di ricambio che tendono a ristagnare per eccesso di materia pesante. Questi sono solo alcuni esempi di come può operare l'acqua che é stata informata mediante grandi eventi spirituali.

Acque Cosmiche
L'Acqua Prima è un'acqua Cosmica, esposta ai raggi della Luna e e degli altri astri. E' un'acqua d'amore, permette di accettarsi, di comprendersi, di amarsi. Aiuta il nostro cuore ad elevarsi e ad entrare in contatto con lo spirito.

L'acqua Luce, come l'acqua Prima, è stata esposta ai raggi della Luna e degli altri Astri. Riequilibra i due emisferi cerebrali ed il nostro rapporto con il cosmo, porta alla spiritualizzazione. Lavora sugli squilibri psicofisici, sull'ipermotività e sui problemi di accettazione del proprio sé interiore.

BEESWAX

A LITTLE BEEWAX INFO Beeswax is a byproduct of honey production. It makes wonderful lip balms, hand lotions, hand creams, moisturizers, in cosmetics, wood finishes, waxes, leather polishes; waterproofing products, and dental molds.
It is impervious to water and unaffected by mildew. It has a melting point of 143 to 148 degrees F. and should only be heated using a double boiler as it is flammable when subjected to fire and flames. It is pliable at 100 degrees F.

Beeswax is produced by the (female) worker honeybees. The wax is secreted from wax glands on the underside of the bee's abdomen and is molded into six-sided cells which are filled with honey, then capped with more wax. When honey is harvested, the top layer of wax that covers the cells, the cappings, must be removed from each hexagon-shaped cell.

Bees use their wax to "glue" together the wooden frames in their hive, and that must be scraped off so the frames can be separated. The beeswax, which contains some honey, bee parts, and other impurities, must be melted and filtered or strained.
Most beeswax is gold or yellow but can also be in shades of orange, brown, etc. The color of the wax is in most part determined by the type of plants the bees collect nectar from. Beeswax has a delightful, light fragrance of honey, flower nectar and pollen.
Beeswax makes superior, slow burning candles. Beeswax burns more beautifully than any other wax. It exudes a faint, natural fragrance of honey and pollen. When candles are made with the proper size of wicking, they are smokeless, dripless, and burn with a bright flame.

If you wonder why beeswax is so expensive, consider this: It has been estimated that bees must fly 150,000 miles to produce one pound of wax. Bees must eat about six pounds of honey to secrete a pound of wax. For every 100 pounds of honey a beekeeper harvests, only one to two pounds of beeswax are produced.

BEESWAX RECIPES

Rich Hand Cream

by Rosemary Gladstar in Tasha Tudor's Heirloom Crafts
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sweet almond oil
1/3 cup coconut oil or cocoa butter
1 Teaspoon lanolin
1/2 ounce grated beeswax
Melt ingredients together over low heat and cool to room temperature. When cool, add:
2/3 cup rosewater
1/2 cup aloe vera gel
1 - 2 drops rose blend EO
5 drops Vitamin E oil
Whip all ingredients to a smooth consistency. Store in a sterile covered jar.


Solid Perfume
Ingredients:
3 parts Sweet Almond or Jojoba oil
2 parts White beeswax
1 part Cosmetic Grade Fragrance Oil, choose from our huge line of Rachel's Cosmetic Grade Fragrance Oils
Melt all ingredients over double boiler until well mixed and integrated. Pour into containers and let cool.


LIP GLOSS
2 teaspoons beeswax
2 tablespoons, sweet almond oil or coconut oil
5 drops essential oil (such as orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, coconut or mint)
2 drops vitamin E capsule
(optional: to tint, up to 1/4 teaspoon lipstick)
Melt the oil and beeswax together. Remove from heat. If coloring, stir in the lipstick. When the mixture has cooled to lukewarm, stir in essential oil and the vitamin E. Transfer to a small container.
Stir occasionally while cooling . If a thicker gloss is desired, increase the amount of beeswax. (Experiment with other additions such as baking chocolate, crushed peppermint candy, cocoa butter, vanilla bean, oil of cinnamon, oil of camphor or eucalyptus for soothing chapped lips, wheat germ oil, etc.
Add oil-based ingredients to the oil phase, and water-soluble ingredients to the water phase.) This is a great way to use up leftover or too-dark lipstick.

BEESWAX WOOD FINISH (for bare wood)
1 pound beeswax
1 pint turpentine (odorless, if you can find it)
1 pint boiled linseed oil
Melt wax. Remove wax from heat source, then stir in turpentine and oil. Before applying to bare wood, warm the mixture to achieve better penetration. Apply with a soft cloth, let dry, then buff with a wool cloth. Old coats can be removed with an organic solvent such as turpentine. This can also be used on leather. (Another wood finish can be made with 1 pound beeswax and 1 pint turpentine, omitting the linseed oil.)


BEESWAX WOOD CONDITIONER (for previously finished wood)
1 ounce beeswax
1 pint turpentine
2 cups water
1 ounce Ivory soap flakes
Shred wax into turpentine; cover and leave in a warm spot. Shake container from time to time.
Bring 2 cups water to a boil.
Add soap and stir until dissolved. Add it to the wax/turpentine, stirring briskly until an emulsion forms.

IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP: Beeswax melts at 143-148 degrees. It is pliable at 100 degrees. All waxes will ignite explosively when they reach their flash point temperature. To melt beeswax safely, place it in the top of a double boiler, or place the container of wax in a larger container of hot water. Do not melt beeswax in a microwave, as it could become hot enough to ignite. Do not cover the beeswax while melting in a container of water, as steam may condense on the inside of the cover resulting in water in the wax.

MEASURING TIP : To measure a small amount of beeswax, grate it before melting.

Medical suggestions
It is very likely that you will experience a bout of sickness while in India. There are many strange bacteria and amoebae to which your body has never been exposed and for which you do not have anti-bodies. It will probably be diarrhea (or "loose motions" as it is referred to there.) There are some things that you can take as preventative measures along the way but once it hits, it is best to go straight for the allopathic medicines like immodium. In such an intensive course you will not really have the time and space to deal with it effectively using natural means. Please see below for recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and a list of what I usually take to India with me.

• The Centers for Disease Control recommends a shot for Hepatitis A one month prior to going, pill vaccination for Typhoid one week before going. They recommend malaria pills starting one week before going. Hepatitis B is recommended if you predict blood exposure, but we don't. None of these are requirements for going, but I will be taking these measures myself. Talk to your doctor about it. If you want to check out the CDC website, look at http://www.cdc.gov/travel/index.htm .
• Talk to your doctor about bringing a supply (at least six 500-mg pills) of the antibiotic Cipro, or its equivalent, for the treatment of traveler's diarrhea.
• Taking along some insect repellant (DEET 30% is the most effective) for mosquitoes and some sun block is good idea.
• Order from your pharmacy or pick up in India some "World Health Organization Oral Re-hydration Salts" for adding to water to make a re-hydration solution and ask your doctor for some Compazine (which is a suppository) or some other nausea medication in case of travelers' diarrhea.
• Some recommend bringing a homeopathic first aid kit, bandages, blister pads, Bacitracin ointment, Tylenol or Advil, decongestants (like Afrin spray and/or Sudafed tablets), Benadryl capsules, Immodium and/or Pepto Bismol.
• Bring any other medications you require. Keep a list of your medications, so that in the event you lose them, they can be replaced. Allopathic medicines are available in India but often under other names.

Natural Prevention
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound cure". In light of that adage, here is another list:

• Yogi Bhajan recommends you eat an onion a day for the month before you go. Onions are a natural blood purifier and help your body deal with the cultural bacterial change.
• Do not eat anything that has not been cooked, peeled or washed properly.
• Drink only bottled or filtered water - stay away from ice.
• 7-R (herb caps for relaxing - good for sleep)
• 96-R (herb caps - great flu remedy)
• Acidophilus
• Anything green, like Chlorella (if you are used to a lot of salad this will help compensate.)
• Arnica cream.
• Vitamin B (excellent for stress)
• Constipation remedy
• Echinacea and Golden Seal
• Emergen-C packets
• Grapefruit seed extract (Biotin - this is a great natural antibiotic)
• Natural throat lozenges
• Melantonin (to adjust your internal time clock)

Recommend that you make packets of your daily supplements, so you don't have a lot of bottles and jars to carry.

Water
To prevent sickness, do not drink anything other than filtered or bottled water. Do not drink anything with ice in it unless you are in a hotel and they have filtered water. If you are purchasing water, make sure that the seal on the bottle is still good. You will be provided with 2 bottles of water per day. Once done with your water bottle, crush before throwing away to prevent scams where people refill old water bottles.

Healing with the Angels through the 4th Dimension .

After the activation of the 11/11 Stargate in November last year the Crystal Grid, which is over lighted by the Ascended Master Serapis Bey, allowed the higher functioning of the feeling body, the 4th dimensional body, to come into play. We recognise this as we started to do the workshops here in Egypt, exploring this new functioning through these workshops with amazing results. It is, therefore, that we will guide you in this workshop into recognising what is already there, the ability to use your 4th dimensional body as the lens through which the higher dimensions can shine and animate all of your spiritual work here on this plane. This new functioning of your 4th dimensional body will be the catalyst for the full power of the Angelic Kingdom to shine their light onto our plane causing the needed shift on this planet and the purification of the astral plane.

The whole of this workshop and all of the healing practices will be done and experienced using this 4th dimensional/feeling body.

After this workshop we are putting out that all of the Angelic Reiki will be taught and practiced through this new aspect of your feeling body. It is recognise the Angelic Reiki is different from any other Reiki. I can guarantee that after you recognise the power of healing from the fourth Dimension, Angelic Reiki will stand alone as one of the most powerful healing systems on the planet.



The Etheric Body And Health .

In all the teachings that we have given through the system we have mentioned how important the etheric body is to good health, but we have never really emphasised how important this is. It feels, therefore, that we will spend some time explaining exactly what the etheric body is and how it is so important to good health. It is the conditioning vehicle upon which the physical body is built and is the means whereby life force energy is transmitted from all the higher dimensions to animate the physical body. We will show you where the 21 chakras of the etheric body are located and how certain of them create triangles of energy which maintain high levels of life force.

As part of this workshop we are going to introduce a healing method whereby the etheric body can be healed. It will be a method that we have never taught before, and will centre on that energy which surrounds the physical body, which is the matrix upon which the physical body sits, and which supplies life force energy to that physical body. We expect in this workshop that a system, a healing method, will be given whereby the etheric body of any patient can be re-energised, cleansed, and rebalanced so that it can experience a down pouring of life force energy that will reanimate the physical form.



Defining and Creating Morphogenetic Fields .

We all know that we are influenced by what we call programming. This programming comes from our DNA, from our parents, and from society but most of all it comes from past incarnational experiences. How does this information traverse incarnations to influence us here? Christine and I have been given the information since we arrived here in Egypt. It has been already ascertained by the physics community, and the biologist Rupert Sheldrake. These fields of electromagnetic energy are known as Morphogenetic Fields. However, they do not know how they are generated, or indeed where they come from. They have the evidence by the fact that they have measured a group consciousness which influences all members of that particular species, whether it is human, animal, or plants. This field supplies the information on which the necessary organism arranges itself and creates its physical form. Through all the dimensional levels it follows that there must be a morphogenetic field for the development of each successive body at that dimensional level. All of this is supposition in our society. As is usually the case, the master's hold the knowledge of what these fields actually is. In this workshop we will show you the source of these fields of information which cause you to follow certain path ways, certain thoughtforms, and certain character traits in your life.

As a service to humanity we intend to use this workshop to focus our attention on creating new morphogenetic forms that we will program and send out into the consciousness of humanity to try to realign humanity onto the path way of the Golden Age. Of course, for you, this means that you now have the power to change your own morphogenetic field. To alter the information system which governs how you react to any one situation, how your body reacts in any particular situation etc.



Diseases of Light Workers .

It does not take much to consider that when we start to do spiritual work, and we start to channel very high spiritual energy, it will have an effect on our energy bodies, on the energy of our physical, emotional, and mental bodies. This is indeed the case, and has been well documented by a Djwhal Khul in Esoteric Healing. We have touched on this in our workshops of the past but never to a great degree. The main causes of imbalance in our energy is through the over stimulation or under stimulation of various centers in these bodies, our chakras, which causes changes in our endocrine system which then influences the chemical makeup of our physical bodies. As part of this workshop, Christine and I feel it is now overdue that we should expand on this subject. We will, therefore, explore the various diseases which can manifest as you start to flood the three lower bodies with the high energies of spirit. We will try to show you how you can bring balance back to these bodies after recognising the causes.

This system was always given as a self-healing system for all light workers. We have always said that the majority of patients that will come to you are your fellow light workers, who are undergoing changes brought on by the channeling of these high energies, and the energies of ascension itself. As these energies significantly increase it follows that many more light workers will experienced difficulties in harnessing and channeling these energies. As a healer of your fellow light workers and yourself, having this information should empower you to get through the ascension process in the most harmonious and perfect way.



Healing into Death and Assisting the Dying.

In all the workshops that we have taught where we have touched on this subject we have been urged to give out the information as to what death really as, and how to assist people who are dying. As you know we try to pack in to our workshops as much as we can but we have never been able to create an adequate space to cover this subject.

I am somewhat dismayed that I have had to embrace the process myself so that I can share with you the energy of it. However, it has always been my path to immerse myself in the energy first so that I can share with you the actual experience, sometimes much to my chagrin.

The process of leaving the physical body is well known and has been kept as knowledge held by the Tibetans. We are going to create an adequate space in this workshop where we touch on the whole subject of what death really is. Esoterically, it is known as ' the Act of Restitution'. It is instigated by a call from the soul which causes a shift in the energy of your etheric/physical body. From that moment the process is irreversible. There is much fear around death even from people who do spiritual work. I have seen this recently in many e-mails that I have received due to the conditions that I personally find myself in. There have been few e-mails which have actually congratulated me on the possibility of me returning home. The overriding emphasis, however, has been on the overcoming the process to remain here on 3-D. This view is not held by the Spiritual Hierarchy.



I will share with you what it feels like to receive a call from your soul which says it is time to go home. As you get deeper into this process you indeed start to have a foot in both worlds. I find I can navigate through the astral plane at will conversing with many beings there. This is the same for any person going through this process, and can cause a great deal of fear. Also, the conscious mind generates many scenarios whereby one minute it believes that death is coming, and the next minute it believes it is all false. This causes a vortex of emotional turmoil which embraces the person who is ill and all those around them. Christine and I will share our experiences of this.

The actual process of leaving the physical body differs depending on where that person is spiritually. We will cover all three. After leaving the physical body the consciousness follows a known path and we will explain this path to you fully. The healer, being aware of this process, can indeed create a space whereby the dying person finds themselves in the perfect place to let go. As I have said many times to assist a person in this way is one of the highest services we can give to anybody. Even creating the most perfect atmosphere in a room for a person to leave the physical body is known, and we will share this with you.

GOTU KOLA

Gotu Kola - Centella asiatica

General Store



Gotu kola is a slender, creeping plant that grows commonly in swampy areas of India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, South Africa and the tropics. Its fan shaped leaves are about the size of an old British penny - hence its common names Indian pennywort, marsh penny and water pennywort.
It is regarded as one of the most spiritual and rejuvenating herbs in Ayurveda and is used to improve meditation. It is said to develop the crown chakra, the energy center at the top of the head, and to balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which the leaf is said to resemble.

Gotu kola has been widely used for a number of conditions, particularly in traditional Eastern health care. In Ayurveda Gotu kola is one of the chief herbs for revitalizing the nerves and brain cells. It is said to fortify the immune system, both cleansing and feeding it, and to strengthen the adrenals.

It has been used as a tonic for purification of blood and for promoting healthy skin. It has also been used to aid in restful sleep, treat skin inflammations, as a treatment for high blood pressure and as a mild diuretic. Recent studies (1995) demonstrated that Gotu kola destroyed cultured tumor cells in the laboratory setting (in vitro).

The leaves of this swamp plant have been used around the world for centuries to treat leprosy, cancer, skin disorders, arthritis, hemorrhoids, and tuberculosis. In recent years, Gotu kola has become popular in the West as a nerve tonic to promote relaxation and to enhance memory.

The herbs calming properties make it well suited for overcoming insomnia and making one calm for yoga and meditative practices. It is commonly used to rebuild energy reserves improve memory and treat fatigue, both mental and physical.

Gotu kola has been referred to as "food for the brain". This oriental herb has demonstrated mild tranquilizing, anti-anxiety and anti-stress effects, as well as improving mental functions such as concentration and memory. It has a calming effect on the body and is chiefly used to support the central nervous system. These beneficial qualities make Gotu kola an excellent herb for children with A.D.D. because it has a stimulating effect on the brain that increases one's ability to focus while having a soothing and relaxing effect on an overactive nervous system.

Gotu kola is often confused with kola nut. Due to this confusion, some people assume the rejuvenating properties of Gotu kola are due to the stimulating effects of caffeine contained in kola nut. In fact, Gotu kola is not related to kola nut and contains no caffeine. There are three main chemical constituents in Gotu kola. The first is asiaticoside, which is a triterpene glycoside and classified as an antibiotic. It aids in wound healing and has been used in the treatment of leprosy and tuberculosis in the Far East. The second constituent is a pair of chemicals, brahmoside and brahminoside, which are saponin glycosides. These are diuretic in nature and have a slightly sedative action in large doses. Finally, there is madecassoside, a glycoside that is a strong anti-inflammatory agent. The plant is also a source of Vitamin K, magnesium, calcium and sodium.

Gotu Kola has been found to have significant results in healing of skin, other connective tissues, lymph tissue, blood vessels, and mucous membranes. Researchers have found that Gotu kola contains several glycosides that exhibit wound healing and anti-inflammatory activities and that asiaticosides stimulate the formation of lipids and proteins necessary for healthy skin.

Gotu kola affects various stages of tissue development, including keratinization (the process of replacing skin after sores or ulcers), the synthesis of collagen (the first step in tissue repair), the stimulation of hair and nail growth, and support for the repair of cartilage. Gotu kola has been effectively used in the treatment of second and third degree burns. It has been shown to decrease healing time and reduce scar tissue formation.

Recent studies show that Gotu kola also has a positive effect on the circulatory system. It seems to improve the flow of blood throughout the body by strengthening the veins and capillaries. Gotu kola has been shown to be particularly useful for people who are inactive or confined to bed due to illness.

The herb has been used successfully to treat phlebitis (inflammation of the veins), varicose veins, as well as leg cramps, swelling of the legs, and "heaviness" or tingling in the legs. In modern health care it has been used for venous insufficiency, localized inflammation and infection, and post-surgery recovery.

Parts Used: Leaves and aerial parts.

Common Use: Prevention of mental fatigue and enhanced concentration and memory. A balancing tonic that both increases energy and relaxes the body. Stimulates the central nervous system, aids circulation especially in the legs, and is a mild diuretic. Aids in many types of wound healing. Used for rheumatism, blood diseases, mental disorders, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, sore throat, and hepatitis.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Adult
The adult dosage of gotu kola may vary depending on the condition being treated. An appropriately trained and certified herbalist, such as a naturopath, can provide the necessary guidance.

The standard dose of gotu kola varies depending on the form:

Dried herb—to make tea, add ¼ to ½ tsp dried herb to a cup of boiling water (150 mL) for 10 minutes, 3 times a day
Powdered herb (available in capsules)—1,000 to 4,000 mg, 3 times a day
Tincture (1:2, 30% alcohol)—30 to 60 drops (equivalent to 1.5 to 3 mL – there are 5 mL in a teaspoon), 3 times a day
