For morning energy, this brew is high in antioxidants and includes some caffeine. It also might help stabilize blood sugar.
Gotu kola, (Centella asiatica) commonly known as
Indian pennywort, Asiatic pennywort, spadeleaf, or coinwort, is a herbaceous,
perennial plant in the flowering plant family Apiaceae. It is native to
tropical regions of Africa, Asia, Australia, and islands in the western Pacific
Ocean. I find it easier to get dry leaf via mail order than grow it here in
Illinois, but one can grow it as an annual.

In Ayurveda, Ashwagandha is known as the rejuvenator and Gotu Kola is known as the herb of longevity, speaking to the plants' abilities to relieve the fatigue and restlessness associated with stress; and support overall quality of life.
