Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is a succulent plant indigenous to South Africa where it is considered to be a part of the traditional medicine.

Kanna is slowly getting known worldwide at the moment. First mentions were made by Jan Van Riebeck in 1662. African sheep herders and hunters have been chewing it since the prehistoric times as the mood modulator. Kanna can be chewed, consumed directly (be careful not to inhale it), smoked or snuffed. Traditonal healers prepared tinctures as well.

Effects

Compounds in the plant can elevate mood, decrease anxiety, stress and tensions. Kanna is used to treat depressions, speech disorders, issues caused by an excessive work load and to cure exhaustion of the nervous system. It has been found that Kanna can stimulate concentration, because it affects the brain. Kanna is recommended for patients suffering from the burnout syndrom, decreased sensitivity and other mental issues.

Recommended dosage

Medium dosage would be 0,5 – 2 grams. You can stir Kanna into lukewarm water or let it soak in a hot water for a few minutes for a stronger effect.
