Description
Suma is an indigenous plant to South America, most notably Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. Traditionally it has been used as a food product for many forest foragers and was occasionally administered for medicinal reasons. Modern use has isolated it for its ability to act as an adaptogen, hence its other common name "Brazilian Ginseng". While not a true Ginseng, it has displayed properties very similar to the Ginseng (Panax) family. Because of the vast array of constituents contained within Suma, this plant is being thoroughly explored, used and studied for treatment surrounding many of today's most common ailments. Because of its rather Vanilla like flavor this botanical can be easily consumed for those with palatable sensitivities.
Suma is believed to increase energy, strengthen the immune system, fortify hormones (especially balancing estrogen levels), reduce tumors, and cancers and regulate blood sugar.
This herb enhances energy and vitality and shows great promise as a healing agent in chronic disorders believed to result from a lowered immune system. These diseases include CRS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and Epstein-Barr virus, as well as hormonal imbalances.
It has been used successfully with very good results on many varieties of cancer (esp. leukemia, Hodgkin's disease and diabetes). It is a good herb to use for rebuilding the immune system. It protects against viral infections and helps to purify the body. There is a unique chemical in Suma that the Japanese have discovered which tends to inhibit tumor cell growth.
The two hormones found in Suma, sitosterol and stipmasterol, have been found beneficial to the heart and they aid in lowering cholesterol levels in the blood. It is antioxidant in nature as it contains germanium so it fights free radicals.
Suma is an adaptogen herb, normalizing functions in the body healing and helping to prevent disease.
