Sceletium Tortuosum is a small groundcover plant native to
Southern Africa. For hundreds of years the Hottentots of Southern Africa used
Sceletium tortuosum as a mood enhancer, relaxant and empathogen. Dr Nigel
Gericke, who is spearheading research into Sceletium tortuosum in South Africa,
believes that "Sceletium is one of the most ancient of mind-altering substances,
and it is likely to have had a profound influence on the evolution of human
consciousness."
Historically Sceletium tortuosum was
eaten/chewed, smoked or used as snuff producing euphoria and alertness which
gently fade into relaxation. If chewed in sufficient quantity Sceletium has a
mild aneasthetic effect in the mouth, much like kava, and is used by the San
tribes if you are about to have a tooth extracted, or in minute doses, for
children with colic. A tea made from Sceletium (Kanna) is sometimes used to wean
alcoholics off alcohol.
Thunberg, during his 1773 expedition
reported: "The Hottentots come far and near to fetch this shrub with the root,
leaves and all, which they beat together, and afterwards twist them up like
pig-tail tobacco; after which they let the mass ferment and keep it by them for
chewing, especially when they are thirsty. If chewed after fermentation, it
intoxicates." Laidler in 1928 noted that Sceletium Tortuosum was "chewed and
retained in the mouth for a while, when their spirits would rise, eyes brighten
and faces take on a jovial air, and they would commence to dance. But if
indulged in to excess, it robbed them of their senses and they became
intoxicated.
The main active chemical in Kanna is mesembrine, which is also
found to a lesser extent in the Slender- Leaved Ice Plant.
