Kanna powder

What is Kanna powder?

Kanna powder is the dried, ground herb of Sceletium tortuosum, a low succulent native to South Africa. This 5-gram pack is the whole plant material rather than a concentrated extract, so the serving is measured in grams. Add 1 to 3 grams to a cup of hot water, steep for ten minutes, and do not exceed 5 grams in a day.

Khoekhoe and San communities used the plant long before it reached European shelves. Depending on the amount, it can feel gently uplifting or more softening. Other strengths, including 10x, 20x, and 40x extracts, exist separately for people who later want a denser form. This powder is the straightforward starting point.

The product is for informed adults. Responses differ. Begin with the lower end of the tea range, give the cup time to work, and do not combine it with medicines or other stimulants. Store it in a cool, dark place.

History of Kanna powder

Sceletium tortuosum grows in the dry landscapes of South Africa. For centuries, Khoekhoe and San communities chewed fermented or dried plant material on journeys, in gatherings, and in moments that called for ease. Dutch observers later nicknamed that chew kougoed. European writers described the herb more widely in the nineteenth century, which is why many modern accounts start there, even though indigenous use is far older.

The plant was valued for mood, thirst, and a steady sociable feeling rather than as a harsh intoxicant. Local knowledge carried the custom long before dried leaf reached contemporary shops. Fermentation was part of some older preparations; today’s ground herb is a simpler, modern cut of the same species.

A 5-gram pack of powder keeps that story small and practical. It is not a new wellness invention. It is a South African succulent with a living cultural past, offered as an everyday tea herb for adults who will respect the five-gram ceiling.

How to use Kanna powder?

A cup of this tea is a simple, unhurried ritual. Use 1 to 3 grams for a serving and never go above 5 grams in a day.

Ingredients

• 1 to 3 grams of the powder (maximum 5 grams a day)
• 1 cup of hot water
• Optional: a little honey or a slice of lemon

Instructions

1. Warm your cup and boil fresh water.
2. Add 1 to 3 grams of the powder to the cup or a tea strainer.
3. Pour the hot water over it and let it steep for 10 minutes.
4. Strain if needed, then sit down and drink slowly.
5. Wait and notice how you feel before considering any further amount the same day. Do not exceed 5 grams.

Store the pack in a cool, dark place. Do not combine it with medicines or other stimulants. Avoid driving during use and for 16 hours afterward.

Ingredients of Kanna powder

The only ingredient is Sceletium tortuosum, the South African succulent traditionally known as kanna. This 5-gram pack contains the dried herb in powdered form and nothing else: no fillers, no flavors, and no added extracts.

The plant is a low-growing succulent with fleshy leaves. After drying and grinding, the material is used as a simple herbal tea. Its character comes from the whole plant rather than a single isolated compound. Like other botanicals, aroma and strength can vary slightly with harvest, so a modest first cup is the wisest introduction.

This powder is the everyday herb. Stronger 10x, 20x, and 40x extracts are offered separately if you later want more concentration. Here the point is clarity: one species, five grams, and a tea-friendly form that fits a calm, adult ritual.

Warning
Do not use together with medicines or other stimulants. Sale and use under the age of 18 are not permitted. Do not take part in traffic during use and for 16 hours afterward. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dark place. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
