🌍 Historical & Ceremonial Significance
Kanna has been used for millennia by the Khoikhoi and San peoples of Southern Africa. Known as kougoed (“something good to chew”), it was traditionally fermented and used in symbolic rites for trance, divination, and communal 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 ceremonial use and cultural significance. Today, its legacy continues in modern formulations that honour traditional preparation and energetic depth.
