Centella asiatica has been used for many years in India, Sri Lanka, South Africa and other tropical regions, and recently in Western civilizations.
Recent studies indicate that the extract of Centella asiatica is rich in Asian acid, madicasic acid and Asiacoside, with great therapeutic value in venous insufficiency of the lower limbs . It is also indicated in the case of leg ulcers and cellulite due to its beneficial action on connective tissue metabolism.
