Sceletium tortuosum is a rare succulent from the Mesembryanthemaceae family and is distributed in certain semi-desert areas of Southern Africa. It was (and still is) highly regarded and sought after by both the Khoikhoi and the San (bushmen) people who have used this plant as a mood enhancer since prehistoric times. It has also been used as an appetite suppressant and mental and physical endurance enhancer by shepherds and hunters walking long distances in arid areas.

Sceletium elevates mood and decreases anxiety, stress and tension, and functions as a model anxiolytic (anti-anxiety substance), as well as being a very effective antidepressant (it is believed to function as a natural SSRI – selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Sceletium is known to reduce addictive cravings particularly with regard to nicotine and also lessens the withdrawal effects of alcohol and other addictive drugs. It also helps balance aberrant brain chemistry caused by the effects of serotonin-depleting drugs.

Due to its ability to stimulate feelings of empathy it has been used with success in couple and family therapy and is a useful adjunct to therapy in general. Sceletium has a unique ability to bring about emotional balance and simultaneously cause both relaxation and stimulation of a positive mood. Sceletium has also been used as a natural supplement for low mood, including grey weather syndrome, anxiety states, including social phobia, irritability in menopause, improvement in libido and post-traumatic stress disorder. A unique feature of Sceletium is its ability to release and liberate energy by relaxing the habitual mental tension that many people suffer.

Very, very good for treating my anxiety. Best product I have found and I have tried a few. Good price also doesn't add to anxiety levels :)

excellent product for anxiety
07/12/2018, By Bronwen
I am so glad I found this product. It is a mild antidepressant, and really helps with stress relief. I also find my focus is better. This is the mildest of three strengths I bought, and I use this one on days when my stress levels or emotions are lower and easier to handle. I recommend finding the right strength for your needs

I have replaced my prescription antidepressants with this product and I am very happy. No side-effects and kicks in within a day or so. I take 300mg a day, in divided doses.

I have used this product for a week now, along with Himalaya Mucuma, and have defiantly found an improvement in my sleep. I have suffered from insomnia for many years. This natural relief is a great help.

This one is a mood changer! It surely works for anxiety and depression. I substituted well known chemical anti-depressants (S5) and Im feeling even better!

Ive been feeling low for a while until sceletium was recommended - taking this supplement has really helped me feel that I am struggling less and to just be more gentle on myself and has given me the space to work on getting my mojo back! Highly recommend it. Subtle but very powerful.
