Herbal medicine practitioner Jenya Di Pierro shares her top tip on how to fight the ageing process with Your Healthy Living.
“Jenya Di Pierro, a herbal medicine practitioner, recommends the herb Gotu Kola, or pennywort, for its anti-ageing properties. According to Jenya, this herb is referred to in Asia as a “miracle elixir of life” due to its anti-ageing, rejuvenating and memory-enhancing effects on the body. Jenya, who is the CEO and founder of the Cloud Twelve wellness and lifestyle club (www.cloudtwelve.co.uk) says: “Gotu Kola helps our skin in so many different ways. It stimulates collagen and fibroblast production. By increasing the collagen content of skin, Gotu Kola promotes tissue repair, elasticity and skin hydration. A constituent of Gotu Kola, Madecassol, has been shown to calm eczema and herpes due to its anti-inflammatory action.”
