Indian Pennywort - Centella asiatica

Indian pennywort (Apiaceae family) is a creeping perennial that comes from tropical areas (Asia, South Africa, Chile, etc.). It has small round leaves and spreads quickly, sometimes invading crop fields. While it prefers to grow in humid areas, it can grow in other conditions.
Indian pennywort has been known in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years, particularly for its many external applications: wounds, ulcers, eczema, leprosy, etc. It is very effective on all dermatological conditions, as the plant improves the wound-healing process by stimulating collagen production in the wounded and treated area. It thus regenerates skin tissue.
