For hundreds of years a small groundcover plant, native to Southern Africa – called Sceletium tortuosum – has been chewed, smoked or used as snuff by the Khoe Khoe (People’s people). They found it to produce a feeling of euphoria and alertness that gently fades into relaxation. It has also been made into teas and tinctures for a number of conditions such as treating colic in infants.
