Kanna

Kanna, scientifically known as Sceletium tortuosum, is a succulent plant native to South Africa that has a long history of traditional use among indigenous people. It is known for its potential mood-enhancing and relaxation-inducing properties. The active compounds in Kanna, such as mesembrine and mesembrenone, are believed to interact with the brain's serotonin system, contributing to its mood-improving effects. Kanna is traditionally prepared by chewing the plant material or brewing it into teas. In modern times, it is also available in various supplement forms, including capsules, extracts, and tinctures. Kanna supplements are gaining recognition as a natural alternative for stress relief and mood support. While Kanna has a history of traditional use and is generally considered safe, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using Kanna supplements.
