Seen in the picture on the left, Brahmi is a great herb for the brain. It can calm and soothe our nerves. It's scientific name is Centella Asiatica. It has been traditionally used in Ayurved as a medicinal herb to treat mental fatigue, skin diseases and stomach ailments etc. It can be used and taken as powder, tea, paste or in supplements. My grandfather was an expert in herbal medicines and I hope I can bring those experiences alive through my efforts. More on other herbs later...

Hello there! I'm growing a couple of Gotu Kola plants in my backyard.
I'm still propagating them although I am planning to throw some leaves into a salad because I've read of the benefits of eating the plant.
Do you have personal experiences related to eating Gotu Kola? And how does it taste? I heard that it tastes awful. Is that true?
