Hey Tep, you learn something every day. You may be onto a good thing. Michael Tierra in "Planetary Herbology" says 'In Ayurveda it is considered the prime nervine tonic and is used to treat insomnia, stress, nervousness and disturbed emotions, and many nervous system disorders. It promotes mental calm and clarity and assists in the practice of yoga and meditation. It possesses tonic properties and could be considered a yin tonic like eclipta.' Sooooo.....as you would be aware gotu kola is combined with bacopa and is then called Brahmi. Bacopa took my fancy when it was described as the foremost tonic in Ayurveda for insanity. It has a stimulant type effect.
All the best
