Kanna - 100 Capsules (Organic, Fermented)

100 Capsules - 50 mg

Kanna (sceletium tortuosum) is one of the most effective natural treatments for depression, stress, frustration, and emotional pressures. This is an organic, traditionally fermented, very potent Kanna. We have tried a plethora of Kanna products; this one surpasses them all. This stuff is active even at only one capsule! This preparation equals in potency to many pharmaceuticals, but has no serious side effects associated with it.

Kanna possesses subtle, yet profound effects on mood. For many people, its sublime effects are a life-altering discovery. The plant itself is thoroughly positive in all aspects. It is a long-time favorite here at Skyfield Tropical, we just had to offer it!

• Powerful anti-stress and antidepressant, far more effective than st. john's wort. Stronger than mucuna pruriens and griffonia seed (and other 5-htp).
• Is said to increase / rebalance natural serotonin and dopamine levels
• Dulls the compulsive desire for nicotine, by interacting with many of the same receptors. It is used with Lobelia ( Lobelia inflata ) to combat nicotine / cigarette addiction, assisting in quitting smoking.
• A treatment for all sorts of taxing and negative states of consciousness- inadequacy, social anxiety, depression, nervousness, anger, even attention deficit.
• Encourages a calm understanding of emotionally difficult situations. In higher doses, it is an "empathogen" type herb.
• Traditionally, it has been used as a potentiator (enhancer) of other mildly psychoactive herbs, such as Wild Dagga.

While it is often said that Kanna is a natural SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor), this activity is uncertain. What is observed generally through traditional use is that Kanna has a bright, positive psychoactive effect. It has a long history of frequent use by the Hottentot tribes of South Africa for this purpose, and most of it is still grown and produced in that area of the world.

As Kanna is becoming cultivated to a larger extent and percolating into the herbal market, there is a widening selection of Kanna products. Having tried many of these products, many are seemingly mild or ineffective. Kanna, by nature, is not a mild herb. If you have tried Kanna and been unimpressed, it is usually because the manufacturer is unaware, or has ignored traditional knowledge of it's preparation.

1: Kanna must be more than 1 year old (older is preferable).
2: The entire plant must be used, roots stems, leaves, and all.
3: The plant must be crushed and properly fermented for 7 days.

Many kanna products use simply the dried powdered leaves, which are ineffective and contain copious oxalates, which traditional fermentation destroys. Only by using this traditional process will Kanna yield its profound secrets; we know because we've done it ourselves!

HERB SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Since kanna is thought to act as a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI), it should never be used in conjunction with psychiatric medications (Prozac, Adderall, Paxil, etc.) Use caution and good judgment when using Kanna as an enhancer of other herbs.
• Kanna can raise blood pressure slightly (similar to caffeine). Slight headache is associated with this.
• Upon first use, Kanna can cause temporary nausea in some people. This is rare, but only temporary.
• Kanna can decrease appetite, however this effect subsides with regular use.
