Kanna Gold is a premium tincture crafted from fermented raw Sceletium tortuosum, a revered succulent native to South Africa. This 1:5 extract is suspended in 40% alcohol and standardized to 1.67% total alkaloids, with a dominant 78% mesembrine profile—known for its mood-enhancing and heart-opening qualities. Just 1–2 drops is all it takes to engage with its subtle, grounding energy.
🌍 Historical & Ceremonial Significance
Kanna has been used for millennia by the Khoikhoi and San peoples of Southern Africa. Traditionally chewed, brewed, or smoked, it was known as kougoed—meaning “something good to chew.” Indigenous communities fermented the plant to enhance its potency, using it in rituals for trance, healing, divination, and social bonding. The sacred eland antelope, often depicted in San rock art, was symbolically linked to Kanna, representing fertility, rainmaking, and spiritual connection.
Dutch explorers first documented Kanna in the 17th century, noting its widespread use and trade among local tribes. Today, its ceremonial legacy lives on in modern formulations that honour its traditional preparation and energetic depth.
