I don't know I take the capsule form they do also sell it as a herb really cheaply but they say elephants in india eat a lot of this herb.  Next time I try it in raw bulk form will let you know.

I went to the health store and purchased some gotu kola it's used for anxiety/stress and sharpen the mind, in india it's used for meditation because it relaxes you a lot while keeping you awake.  Boy does this stuff really relax you, I was lying in my bed and either I fell asleep or during one of my sleep/rem dreams I was aware of me being asleep and in my bed and was able to astral project, this is after second day taking the herb and I didn't do any exercises whatsoever just was aware I was in my bed and just got out of but I was stuck to my body so I just said I can loosen this and it losened and I got out then I couldn't see I said I could see now and I was able to see.  They also call this herb in india bramhi which means the best of the best for meditation/relaxation.

I had an OBE using Gotu Kola for about a week, and I was trying to have one. It was brief, but I was impressed with the herb. I suddenly found myself out-of-body looking at a chair in front of me and I was making the chair turn left, then right, back and forth with only my thoughts. A moment later I was back in my body. I've had OBE's before, but sometimes I'd end up falling asleep while attempting to have them. The Gotu Kola almost seemed to make it easy to have one.

One website I was on said that it is known as the "herb of enlightenment", and it does seem to live up to that description. This herb has been used for thousands of years. It is very highly regarded by the Chinese and the people of India. In their experience it does improve meditative abilities and it offers many health benefits too.

You don't have to buy capsules of it though. Gotu Kola plants can be purchased on the web so you can just grow it yourself (indoors or outdoors). It's a tropical herb that is easy to grow and it's very hardy. Probably the only thing it can't tolerate is frost. It prefers wet soil, but the soil can dry out and the plant can appear to be dead, but give it some water and it will spring back to life. Gotu Kola is easy to propagate too. Just take the plant out of the pot and separate a section of it with ample roots, replant it, and now you have two plants. The recommended dosage straight from the plant is two to three mature leaves a day. I've read on some websites that eating the leaves fresh from the plant is best, and that is what I was doing when I had my experience. Give it a shot, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
