Sceletium Elixir
Sceletium is one of the most usable and functional herbs for mental and emotional wellness that exists in the world today. Sceletium Tortuosum (also known as Kanna or Kougoed) is a succulent plant native to Southern Africa. It is often found covering the ground, in the shade of larger bushes.
This remarkable and sacred plant has been used by the Khoikhoi for hundreds of years. Traditionally the plant was dried and chewed (hence the name Kougoed, meaning “chewing stuff”) or smoked. It was often smoked in ceremony and mixed with a variety of other different herbs. In recent years, it has been made into capsules, oils, teas, as well as full or partial alkaloid extracts.
Our Sceletium Elixir has been made with 100% organically grown Sceletium/Kanna in South Africa.
We blend the Sceletium extract with hemp seed oil, which is considered to be the most nutritionally balanced oil found in nature, we've found it synergises extremely well with our Sceletium extract.
The result of your blend is a very easy to use and powerful healing elixir. The oil is used orally (sublingual - under the tongue). It is very versatile, and can be used in a couple of ways:
Sceletium has a range of popular medicinal and therapeutic benefits including:
Emotional Wellness: Sceletium integrates and meditates the mind, body and emotions, helping to put you in a calm, clear and relaxed state. It helps calm overactive minds whilst allowing speech to flow and thoughts to be more focused.
Mood Enhancement: Sceletium has very reliable mood boosting properties. It greatly enhances serotonin function in the brain. In higher dosages, it can result in gentle, yet noticeable, euphoria.
Anti-Depressant: Sceletium is a natural and safer option than chemical SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors), which often have many unpleasant, undesired side effects. Sceletium acts as an SRA (Serotonin Releasing Agent), which has been found to be more effective, balanced and harmonious approach than Re-Uptake Inhibitors. (Note: Sceletium should not be taken at the same time as chemical SSRIs)
Anti-Anxiety: Kanna has been traditionally used for millennia as an anti-anxiety remedy. Sceletium works in a direct, apoptogenic way to give you peace of mind, bringing about a sense of calmness and centeredness to the mind, body and soul. It can be used as an on-the-go ‘rescue remedy’.
Stress Reduction: Living in the modern world, especially in urban cities, many people deal with stress that comes from information overload, time scarcity, nature deficit disorder, etc. A key aspect to dealing with stress is to remain grounded and centred amongst our often chaotic environment.
Sceletium helps in this regard, allowing us to slow down, breath and gain perspective of the bigger picture.
Alcohol, drug & smoking addictions: Sceletium has incredible benefits for those wishing to stop smoking, drinking and other forms of substance abuse. It helps alleviate the tendency to compulsively and obsessively think about the substance, as well as significantly reduce withdrawal symptoms.
We have various forms of Sceletium - raw powders, extracts and our most popular form, elixirs.
Sceletium is non-toxic and non-addictive and may be safely (with careful dosage) used even on children.
Limited samples are available.
