ORIGIN:

In South Africa it is called Ghaap. It grows wild in the wild in semi-desert regions of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Angola, and Zimbabwe… Exportation of Hoodia from the regions of Boswata, Namibia, Zimbabwe, have been outlawed by the governments there. For this reason, all authentic, legally exported Hoodia Gordonii must be grown and manufactured in South Africa. Although some attempts have been made to cultivate the Hoodia Gordonii succulents outside of South Africa… the plants grown did not exhibit the same appetite suppressant qualities. All attempts thus far have proved unsuccessful. When manufactured the entire plant is used, including the long spiky stems which can grow up to 7ft tall, the pinkish-brown flowers, as well as the roots. Due to the high content of water contained within the succulent, the manufacturing process yields approximately 1 ton of dry powder per 20 tons of wet Hoodia Gordonii processed.

Sutherlandia Frutescens

 

Sutherlandia Frutescens is regarded as the most profound and multi-purpose of all medicinal plants in Southern Africa.

Because of its efficacy as a safe tonic for diverse health conditions it has enjoyed a long history of use by all cultures in Southern Africa.
Sutherlandia powerfully assists the body to mobilize its own resources to cope with diverse physical and mental stresses and it should therefore be more correctly known as an adaptogenic tonic.

The traditional Tswana name of 'Phetola' alludes to this:
'Phetola' means it changes, meaning that the plant changes the course of many illnesses into a favorable outcome. (Similar to the European concept of an alterative).

The North Sotho name of 'Lerumo-lamadi' means the spear for the blood symbolising that Sutherlandia is a powerful blood-purifier or all-purpose tonic.

The indigenous, folk and contemporary uses of Sutherlandia includes its use as a tonic for:

Sceletium

 

Sceletium elevates mood and decreases anxiety, stress and tension. It also helps with post-traumatic stress disorder, social phobia, irritability and can boost libido.

Sceletium tortuosum has been used by hunter-gatherers and shepherds as a mood-enhancing substance for hundreds of years and is far more effective and rapidly acting than the well-known St John's Wort.

It lessens anxiety, stress and tension, raises spirits and enhances the sense of connection. If you take a very large dose you may even feel euphoric, then taken over by a sense of drowsiness. It does not cause hallucinations.

Your mood and mental performance depend on a variety of nutrients that feed the brain, nervous system and neurotransmitters. These include vitamins B3, B6, folic acid (folate), B12 and C, zinc, magnesium, essential fatty acids, and the amino acids, tryptophan and tyrosine.

 

Devil’s Claw

 Devil’s Claw is a plant native to southern Africa found growing in the Kalahari desert, Namibia, the island of Madagascar and few other locations.

The name Devil’s Claw comes from the herb’s unusual fruits, which are covered with numerous small claw-like appendages.
Hoodia Gordonii is a leafless, spiky succulent.
It grows naturally in the Northern Cape, a province of South Africa, where Nature Conservation registers it as a protected species in the wild.

Hoodia Gordonii is famous for its effects as an appetite suppressant and mood enhancer.

Recent research has shown that the Hoodia Gordonii species contains a molecule that is similar to glucose, only much stronger. Scientists believe that this molecule in Hoodia fools the body into believing that it has just eaten.

Hoodia is the most effective natural appetite suppressant on the market. Many people also experience an upliftment in their mood immediately, followed by a complete satiation of the appetite. After eating Hoodia one simply doesn't feel like eating a meal.
