Many people throughout India, Madagascar, and China (among other locations) have long known of the advantages offered by the Gotu Kola plant. This is one of the common names for the Centella Asiatica plant.
Official research has indicated that the Gotu Kola plant has been successful in treating many skin conditions. Here are three reasons why titrated extract of Centella Asiatica is used in such creams.
It Helps Reduce Inflammation of the Skin
This can occur in many ways. Some people may have suffered burns or injuries to the skin, for instance. Studies have shown that titrated extract of Centella Asiatica can help such injuries to heal better than they might without it.
It Helps Wounds Heal More Quickly
Wounds take time to heal, whether they stem from burns or cuts. Centella Asiatica has been seen to make new skin stronger than it would otherwise be. It has other positive effects too, leading to faster repairs when the skin is damaged. This combines with the anti-inflammatory effects we learned about above.
It Reduces Scar Tissue
Any injury leads to scar tissue being left behind as a sign of what occurred. Some people suffer from keloid scars. These are scars that are raised and far more pronounced than they would usually be. Titrated extract of Centella Asiatica has been used to help reduce the appearance of such scarring. These scars become far less inflamed and may, therefore, be less noticeable than they would be without the use of this natural plant.
The medicinal nature of Centella Asiatica has long been known. It is reassuring to see today that it is used in many skin creams. This helps achieve the advantages seen above when good healing is required for injuries and skin conditions.
