Suma Root Powder (Brazil)
-
Botanical Name: Pfaffia paniculata
Suma is a plant. It is sometimes called Brazilian ginseng, although it is not related to ginseng. The root is used to make medicine.
Suma is used as an “adaptogen” to help the body adapt to stress by improving the immune system. Suma is also used as a treatment for cancer and tumors, diabetes, and male sexual performance problems; as a tonic to restore body function; and as an aphrodisiac to heighten sexual arousal.
Suma is sometimes applied directly to the skin for wounds and skin problems.
Some researchers think that the chemicals in suma may stop some cancers from developing, decrease swelling, and relieve pain.
