Moisturize your skin

Add a little sugar to make it easier to drink. Then you can use the pennywort pulp to apply on your face or wash your face with fresh pennywort juice.

Acne treatment

Many studies have shown that the active ingredients of gotu kola are Saponins (Asiatic Acid, Brahmic Acid) which help connective tissues regenerate quickly, heal wounds quickly and form new skin, helping to effectively treat acne. Today, there are many types of acne treatment capsules extracted from gotu kola essence.

Treat melasma

Gotu kola is used quite commonly, it is known for its cooling effect, cures many diseases but few people know about the beauty effect of gotu kola. Gotu kola is effective in treating melasma, helping to give you bright white skin.

Take 30-40gr of pennywort, wash, crush or pound. When pounding, add a little water. Then filter out the residue and drink the water every day to help you quickly get rid of annoying dark spots and freckles on your face. Applying this method regularly is the most effective way to treat melasma for you.

In addition, you should not throw away the residue of pennywort but instead use it to apply on the areas of skin with melasma. Along with that, you should have a diet with foods that are cool, detoxifying and good for the skin. At the same time, combining the application of pennywort mask on the outside is also an effective way to treat melasma.

Heal scars on the skin

Gotu kola contains many triterpenoids that help strengthen the skin and increase circulation to the skin. The compounds in gotu kola will inhibit the overproduction of collagen in scar tissue, enhance antioxidants and promote the growth and regeneration of new skin for your old scars. Although it is a bit hard to believe, if you take the time to crush gotu kola and apply it to the scar every day, it will have the effect of fading even old scars.

Modern medicine has extracted active ingredients from gotu kola to make medicine to prevent keloids, help wounds heal quickly, and reduce varicose veins in the lower limbs...

It should be noted that the active ingredients are in the fiber (cellulose) of pennywort, if we just pound and squeeze the juice, we will lose these active ingredients. Some studies show that fiber can "pull" cholesterol out of the body, so eating vegetables with a lot of fiber will help the body gradually eliminate cholesterol from the body.
