Time for African herbal classes again!
Today it's Sceletium tortuosum - a handsome succulent from the semi-deserts of South Africa. This is probably the most powerful of the "brain herbs" in Southern Africa and a secret remedy used by the San "bushmen" as part of their apothecary for thousands of years.
Sceletium tortuosum is a powerful natural SSRI (Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor), which means that it helps to recirculate your brains serotonin. Without healthy serotonin levels we can feel depressed, have trouble sleeping, feel anxious or even have a hyperactive mind. Sceletium is nature's chill pill. It helps create a sense of ease and relaxation, promotes clear thinking and generally balances out your brain. Unlike many commercial SSRI's, Sceletium is 100% natural herb which has been well documented for efficacy in the African herbal pharmacopeia.
Note: Sceletium active ingredients are alkaloids which vary from 0% to 1% in commercial Sceletium products. Always choose a product that is standardised for at least 0.5% alkaloids to ensure optimum efficacy and a happy brain.
