History of Kanna
This revered herb, indigenous to South Africa, has played a
significant role in the lives of the local people, particularly the
Khoikhoi and the San tribes, since prehistoric times. These tribes,
initially hunter-gatherers, used Kanna for various purposes including
relief from thirst and hunger, to combat fatigue, and for social and
spiritual purposes. They had a profound connection with the plant,
associating it with the sacred eland antelope and referring to it by the
same name: 'kanna'.
The first isolation of an alkaloid from Sceletium tortuosum was in 1898 by
Meiring, who called it mesembrine. This discovery led to a deeper
understanding of the plant's chemical composition, though its exact
composition remains elusive.
Kanna's long-standing history
reflects its significance in South African culture and its evolving role
in global herbal medicine and recreational use. From its traditional
roots to modern applications, Kanna has remained a plant of great
interest and value.
