4. Promote Wound Healing

Many triterpene compounds in Gotu kola promote wound healing. Triterpenes stimulate fibroblast formation in the dermis or underlying skin cell layers. Prolific fibroblasts increase collagen production at wound sites. Gotu kola is especially beneficial for burn wounds and infection. The herb contains various compounds that reduce inflammation, encourage antioxidant activity, and provide antibacterial effects.
