Anybody who knows the medicinal value of Goto Cola?


Goto Cola is an herb whom people claim to have medicinal effect. I need to know if it can help my husband who is paralized due to brain stroke.

Hi Melodia.
A stroke is also called a "brain attack." It occurs when the blood supply to the brain is stopped. This can kill neurons if they cannot get enough oxygen. People who have a stroke may become paralyzed or lose their ability to talk ("aphasia").
What have your husband.

Melodia, a Goto Cola can't help your husband. Not needed to experiment. During convalescence your husband are need, measures to prevent aspiration, deep venous thrombosis, UTIs, pressure ulcers, and undernutrition may be necessary. Passive exercises, particularly of paralyzed limbs, and breathing exercises are started early to prevent contractures, atelectasis, and pneumonia. Most likely your husband are need the occupational and physical therapy to maximize functional recovery. Most likely need additional therapies (eg, speech therapy, feeding restrictions). Depression after stroke may require antidepressants; many patients benefit from counseling. For rehabilitation, an interdisciplinary approach is best. Modifying risk factors through lifestyle changes (eg, stopping cigarette smoking) and drug therapy (eg, for hypertension) can help delay or prevent subsequent strokes.

Gotu Cola has the following functions:
Diuretic - increases the volume of urine produced by the kidneys. It can be used effectively to treat mild cases of edema when kidney function is good and when the underlying abnormality of cardiac function, capillary pressure, or salt retention is being corrected simultaneously. Diuretics are not an appropriate treatment for edema caused by inflammation of the kidneys, and are useless in cardiac edema associated with advanced kidney insufficiency.

Narcotic - depresses the function of the central nervous system, inducing sleep and lessening pain. By definition, narcotics can be toxic in excess.

Sedative - quiets nervous excitement and reduces motor activity without inducing sleep. used in the management of neuroses and in the treatment of anxiety and apprehension accompanying various disease states such as hypertension. Sedatives commonly function to induce reversible depression of the central nervous system. Examples of this class are phenobarbital, secobarbital sodium, and pentobarbital.

Tonic -strengthens or tones.
Gotu Cola is able to rebuild energy reserves. It increases mental and physical power, combats stress and improves reflexes, has an energizing effect on brain cells, and may help prevent nervous breakdown. For this reason, it is called "food for the brain." It relieves high blood pressure, mental fatigue, senility, and helps the body defend itself against various toxins. It is very rich in the B Complex vitamins, lowers blood pressure, and is an effective diuretic.

Those with hypotension and low potassium levels may want to restrict their use of Gotu Cola.

Gotu cola helps eliminate excess fluids, decreases fatigue & depression, increases sex drive, shrinks tissues, & stimulates the central nervous system. May neutralize blood acids & lower body temperature. Promotes wound healing. Good for varicose veins and for heart & liver function. Useful for cardiovascular & circulatory disorders, fatigue, connective tissue disorders, kidney stones, poor appetite & sleep disorders.
