Re: gota kola--an herb of help to diabetics and for nerve damage and several other things from breast cancer to memory and concentration

I already had ordered the herb, it is in powder form and yes organic.
I don't know whether it is raw or not, it says 'products produced and processed according to NPOP standards, NOP & EEC regulation'.

I noticed now that I actually ordered 'Brahmi' which is a mixture of Bacopa Monniera herb and Gotu Kola. (I thought I had ordered gotu kola alone)

Some sites who sell herb powders say to put it in yoghurt or a smoothie, which I do as it is easy, but still not sure whether making a tea from it would make it more absorbable?

DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide) is a liquid that is naturally produced by trees. It is a result of the process used to create paper. When applied to the skin, it passes through the membranes right into your bloodstream. It also can drag along any other substance into the bloodstream. What it will carry depends on the molecular weight, shape, and electrochemistry of the molecules. DMSO is also used against pain, inflammation, scleroderma, interstitial cystitis, and Arthritis elevated intercranial pressure. DMSO is closely associated with MSM and has many of the same effects.
