He tohunga kai me te hauora a Kathy Wong. E whakaatuhia ana āna mahi i roto i ngā pāpāho pēnei i a First For Women, Women's World me Natural Health.
He tohunga rongoā taiao whai raihana a Meredith Bull, ND, kei te mahi tūmataiti i Los Angeles, California.
He tipu rau te Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā kai Āhia, ā, kua roa e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā rongoā tuku iho Hainamana me te rongoā Ayurvedic. He tipu ā-tau tēnei nō ngā repo werawera o te Tonga-mā-rāwhiti o Āhia, ā, he maha ngā wā ka whakamahia hei wai hua, hei tī, hei huawhenua rau matomato rānei.
E whakamahia ana te gotu kola mō ōna āhuatanga patu huakita, ārai mate huka, ārai mumura, ārai pouri, me te whakarei ake i te mahara. E hokona whānuitia ana hei tāpiringa kai i roto i te ahua o ngā kāpū, ngā paura, ngā tincture, me ngā rongoā ā-kiri.
E mōhiotia ana te Gotu kola ko te swamp penny me te Indian penny. I roto i te rongoā Hainamana tuku iho, ka kiia ko te ji xue sao, ā, i roto i te rongoā Ayurvedic, ka kiia ko te brahmi.
I roto i ngā kaiwhakaora rerekē, e whakaponohia ana he maha ngā painga hauora o te gotu kola, mai i te rongoā i ngā mate (pērā i te herpes zoster) ki te ārai i te mate a Alzheimer, te toto totoka, tae noa ki te haputanga.
E kīia ana ka āwhina a Coke ki te whakamamae i te manukanuka, te mate huango, te pouri, te mate huka, te korere, te ngenge, te koretake o te kai, me ngā mate puku.
Ina pania ki te kiri, ka taea e te cola te tere ake te whakaora i te patunga me te whakaiti i te ahua o ngā tohu totoro me ngā koha.
Kua roa te whakamahinga o te gotu kola hei tāpiringa otaota hei rongoā i ngā mate hinengaro me te whakapai ake i te mahara. Ahakoa he rerekē ngā hua, kei reira ngā taunakitanga mō ētahi painga tika me ngā painga ā-kore.
I roto i tētahi arotake i te tau 2017 o ngā rangahau i whakaputaina ki roto i te Scientific Reports, he iti noa ngā taunakitanga i kitea e whakaatu ana i te whakapai tika a Coke i te hinengaro me te mahara, ahakoa i te āhua nei ka whakapiki ake i te mataara me te whakaiti i te manukanuka i roto i te haora.
Ka taea e te gotu kola te whakarerekē i te mahi a te neurotransmitter e kiia nei ko te gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). E whakaponohia ana ko te waikawa Āhia te take o tēnei pānga.
Mā te awe i te tangohanga o te GABA e te roro, ka taea e te waikawa āhiatic te whakamamae i te manukanuka me te kore e pāngia e ngā pānga whakamoe o ngā rongoā GABA agonist tuku iho pērā i te amplim (zolpidem) me ngā barbiturates. Tērā pea ka whai wāhi anō hoki ki te rongoā i te pouri, te kore moe, me te ngenge mau tonu.

He taunakitanga kei te wātea te cola hei whakapai ake i te rere o te toto i roto i te hunga e pāngia ana e te ngoikore o te uaua mau tonu (CVI). Ko te ngoikore o te uaua he āhuatanga e kore ai e mahi pai ngā pakitara me/ngā takirere rānei o ngā uaua i ngā pito o raro, ā, kāore e pai te whakahoki i te toto ki te ngākau.

I roto i tētahi arotake i te tau 2013 i tētahi rangahau i Mareia, i kitea he pai ake ngā tohumate CVI i roto i ngā kaumātua i whiwhi i te gotu kola, tae atu ki te taumaha o ngā waewae, te mamae, me te pupuhi (te pupuhi nā te wai me te mumura).
E whakaarohia ana ko ēnei pānga nā ngā matū e kiia nei ko ngā triterpene, e whakaoho ana i te hanga o ngā glycoside o te ngākau. Ko ngā glycoside o te ngākau he matū waro e whakanui ana i te kaha me te kaha o te ngākau.
He taunakitanga kei reira e whakaatu ana ka taea e te kora te whakau i ngā papa ngako i roto i ngā oko toto, kia kore ai e taka atu, kia kore ai e pāngia e te mate manawa, e te whiu rānei.
Kua roa ngā kaihoko otaota e whakamahi ana i ngā hinu me ngā rongoā gotu kola hei whakaora i ngā patunga. E whakaatu ana ngā taunakitanga o nāianei he mea whakaoho te triterpenoid e kiia nei ko te asiaticoside i te hanga collagen me te whakatairanga i te whanaketanga o ngā oko toto hou (angiogenesis) i te wāhi i whara ai.
He nui rawa ngā kōrero e kī ana ka taea e te gotu kola te rongoā i ngā mate pēnei i te repera me te mate pukupuku. Engari kei reira ētahi taunakitanga e whakaatu ana me nui ake ngā rangahau.
I te Tonga-mā-rāwhiti o Āhia, e whakamahia ana te gotu kola mō ngā mahi kai me ngā mahi rongoā. Nā te mea he mema ia nō te whānau pāhiri, he puna pai te kola mō ngā huaora me ngā kohuke nui e hiahiatia ana hei pupuri i te hauora pai.
E ai ki te International Journal of Food Research, kei roto i te 100 karamu o te kora hou ngā matūkai e whai ake nei, ā, e tutuki ana i te Kai e Taunakihia ana (RDI):
He puna pai hoki te gotu kola mō te muka kai, e whakarato ana i te 8% o te RDI mō ngā wāhine me te 5% mō ngā tāne.
He kai matua te gotu kola i roto i ngā kai maha a Īnia, a Īnia, a Mareia, a Wietinami me a Tai. He reka kawa, he kakara tarutaru hoki tōna. Ko te gotu kola, tētahi o ngā kai rongonui o Sri Lanka, te kai matua o te gotu kola sambol, e whakakotahi ana i ngā rau gotu kola tapatapahi me te riki matomato, te wai raima, te pepa tiri, me te kokonati kuoro.
Ka whakamahia hoki i roto i ngā kari Īnia, ngā rōra huawhenua Vietnamese, me te huamata Mareia e kiia nei ko te pegaga. Ka taea hoki te hanga i te gotu kola hou mai i te wai ka konatunatua ki te wai me te huka hei inu mā te iwi Vietnamese i te nuoc rau ma.

He uaua te kimi i te Gotu Kola hou i te US i tua atu i ngā toa hoko kai motuhake. Ina hokona, me kakariki kanapa ngā rau rengarenga wai, kāore he koha, he rerekē rānei te tae. Ka taea te kai i ngā kakau, he rite ki te korianara.
He pāwera te Fresh Coke ki te pāmahana, ā, ki te tino makariri tō pouaka whakamātao ka tere te pouri. Ki te kore e whakamahia tonutia, ka taea e koe te whakanoho i ngā otaota ki roto i tētahi karāhe wai, ka taupokina ki tētahi putea kirihou, ka rongoa ki roto i te pouaka whakamātao. Ka taea te penapena i te Gotu Kola hou pēnei mō te wiki.
Me whakamahi tonu te gotu kola kua tapatapahia, kua tangohia rānei te wai, nā te mea ka tere te waikura, ka mangu.
Kei te nuinga o ngā toa kai hauora me ngā toa otaota ngā tāpiringa gotu kola. Ka taea te tango i te gotu kola hei kāpūru, hei tincture, hei paura, hei tī rānei. Ka taea te whakamahi i ngā hinu kei roto te gotu kola hei rongoā i ngā patunga me ētahi atu raruraru kiri.
Ahakoa he onge ngā pānga taha, ka pāngia pea ētahi tāngata e tango ana i te gotu kola e te mamae o te puku, te ānini, me te hiamoe. Nā te mea ka taea e te gotu kola te whakanui ake i tō aro ki te rā, he mea nui kia whakawhāitihia te pānga o te rā, me te whakamahi i te pare rā ki waho.
Ka whakapūkaratia te gotu kola i roto i te ate. Mena he mate ate tōu, he pai ake te karo i ngā tāpiringa gotu kola hei ārai i ngā kino atu. Ka taea hoki e te whakamahinga roa te whakararu i te ate.
Me karo ngā tamariki, ngā wāhine hapu, me ngā whaea whāngai u i ngā tāpiringa gotu kola nā te mea kāore i te nui ngā rangahau. Kāore i te mōhiotia he aha atu ngā rongoā ka taunekenekehia e te Gotu Kola.

Kia mōhio hoki koe, ka taea e ngā rongoā whakamoe, waipiro rānei te whakanui ake i ngā pānga whakamoe o te cola. Kaua e tango i te gotu kola me Ambien (zolpidem), Ativan (lorazepam), Donnatal (phenobarbital), Klonopin (clonazepam), me ētahi atu rongoā whakamoe rānei, nā te mea ka tino hiamoe koe.
Kāore he aratohu mō te whakamahinga tika o te gotu kola mō ngā kaupapa rongoā. Nā te mōrearea o te kino o te ate, he mea whakamahi poto noa iho ēnei tāpiringa.
Ki te whakaaro koe ki te whakamahi i te gotu kola, ki te whakamahi rānei mō ngā take hauora, me kōrero ki tō tākuta hauora i te tuatahi. Ka pā kino pea ngā hua kino ki te rongoā-ā-koe mō tētahi mate, me te kore e aro ki ngā tikanga tiaki paerewa.
Kāore e hiahiatia ana te rangahau me te whakamātautau pakari mō ngā tāpiringa kai pērā i ngā rongoā. Nō reira, ka rerekē pea te kounga. Ahakoa he maha ngā kaihanga huaora e tuku noa ana i ā rātou hua ki ngā rōpū tiwhikete motuhake pērā i te United States Pharmacopeia (USP) hei whakamātautau. He onge te mahi a ngā kaiwhakatipu otaota i tēnei.
Mō te gotu kola, e mōhiotia ana ka mimiti tēnei tipu i ngā konganuku taumaha, i ngā paitini rānei mai i te oneone, i te wai rānei e tupu ana. He tūponotanga kino tēnei ki te hauora nā te kore o ngā whakamātautau haumaru, inā koa ka tae mai ki ngā rongoā Hainamana kawemai.
Hei whakarite i te kounga me te haumaru, me hoko noa i ngā tāpiringa mai i ngā kaihanga rongonui e tautokona ana e koe ā rātou waitohu. Mena he hua rauropi te tapanga, me whakarite kua rēhita te tari tiwhikete ki te Tari Ahuwhenua o te Hononga o Amerika (USDA).
Nā Kathy Wong i tuhi. He tohunga kai a Kathy Wong, he tohunga hauora hoki. E whakaatuhia ana āna mahi i roto i ngā pāpāho pēnei i a First For Women, Women's World me Natural Health.
