Sceletium (Kanna) Botanical Drops

Description

Overview

Native to the Western, Eastern and Northern Cape, Sceletium tortuosum is a small succulent with a documented history stretching back generations among the San and Khoikhoi peoples, who traditionally chewed, fermented or smoked the plant within social and practical contexts. Known locally as Kanna or Kougoed, it holds a distinct place among Southern African botanicals. Our extract draws on this heritage, offering it in a modern, alcohol-free dropper format for those exploring considered, adult botanical rituals.

Highlights

• Alcohol-free extract in a purified water and vegetable-glycerine base
• Rooted in genuine Southern African botanical heritage
• Traditionally regarded for calm uplift and gentle emotional ease
• Sugar-free and small-batch crafted
• Best suited to morning or early afternoon rituals

Traditional Uses

Sceletium has a long-documented history of traditional use among the San and Khoikhoi peoples of Southern Africa, historically prepared through chewing, fermentation or smoking within social and ceremonial contexts. It has traditionally been associated with calm, emotional ease and a settled sense of clarity. These associations reflect cultural and historical practice rather than clinical evidence, and this extract is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

How to Use

Take 1–5 drops sublingually or add to warm water. As Kanna is traditionally regarded as a potent botanical, begin with a low amount and allow 20–30 minutes before considering further use. Best suited to morning or early afternoon rituals. Do not combine with SSRIs, MAOIs or other serotonin-modifying medication without professional guidance.
