Indian Pennywort or Gotu kola is used to treat bacterial, viral, or parastitic infections such as urinary tract infection, cholera, dysentery, the common cold, influenza, H1N1 (swine) flu and tuberculosis. Pennywort can help protect the immune system from toxins.
Because of its antibiotic properties, it has the capability to speed up the healing process of wounds. Indian Pennywort can also improve blood flow while reinforcing the veins and capillaries and making them stronger.
