Sceletium tortuosum, commonly known as kanna, is a succulent plant native to South Africa. It belongs to the Aizoaceae family and is traditionally used by indigenous peoples for its mood-enhancing properties. The plant has thick, fleshy leaves and can grow up to 30 centimeters tall. The active compounds in Sceletium tortuosum are alkaloids, which are believed to affect serotonin levels in the brain. This has led to its use as a natural remedy for anxiety and depression. Kanna can be consumed in various forms, including powders, teas, and capsules, making it accessible for different preferences.
