Please consult your medical practitioner prior to using any herbal medications should you be under their care. Internally or externally, gotu kola has little side effects. Skin rashes, light sensitivity and headaches are rare side effects, should this occur, reduce the dosage. Pregnant and lactating women should not use gotu kola. Taking gotu kola for an extended period of time is not recommended. After taking the herb for a period of 6-8 weeks, stop taking the supplement for a period of 2 weeks and then continue regular use, following this pattern. Gotu kola has a mild sedative effect and should therefore not be used in conjunction with prescription sedatives.
