| Look in your local nursery for Arthritis Plant! Yes, it's readily available almost everywhere. Ask your local nursery to get some in for you. It is a groundcover, and if allowed, can take over your entire garden - fairly quickly, too! It is undoubtedly a weed. Needs constantly moist soil, and while it will grow in the sun once established, it actually prefers quite shady, and prefers warm, humid conditions. It's Centella Asiatica, or Hydrocotyle asiatica, and if you want it for medicinal purposes, you might prefer to buy it in capsule form. I've seen it labelled Hydrocotyle. It is sometimes also called Brahmi, not to be confused with Water Hyssop (Bacopa monnieri) also called Brahmi. Check the labels for the botanical name. If your nursery can't get it, try All Rare Herbs in Queensland, or Richter's at Eschol Springs in WA. |
