However, it caused sexual disfunction, bouts of daytime sleepiness, hypotension, and spikes in blood pressure. Though many claim the list of banned foods is much larger than it needs to be, hypertensive crisis is not a risk I'm willing to take.
I've done some more research on gotu kola and will submit a post on its proposed anxiolytic method of action.
