Findings
Asiaticoside, the main active compound in Centella asiatica, showed promise for wound healing, skin protection, and reducing nerve inflammation in reviewed studies. It crosses the blood-brain barrier safely with low toxicity, though its effectiveness varies depending on the species studied and how well the body absorbs it.
