GENERAL NOTES

 

- Sceletium tortuosum is a member of the Aizoaceae family and is native to South Africa.

- The genus contains 8 species.

- Sceletium tortuosum was one of the species used to prepare ‘Kanna’, which was utilised by the Khoi tribes and San tribes of Africa as a stimulant, hypnotic and as a sedative.

- Kanna was highly valued by tribesman and they believed it aided them to travel long distances with neither food nor water.

- The traditional method of preparation was to use the whole plant and crushed it between two flat rocks before fermenting it for 8 days in animal skins.

- It was then removed and dried in the sun for use.

- Kanna can be chewed, smoked, Insufflated, made into a tincture or used in a tea.

- Contains mesembrine, mesembrenone, mesembrenol, tortuosamine and others alkaloids.

- It has been reported that the stems and roots contain up to 30% more active ingredients than the leaves.

- Concentrations range from 0.05 - 2.3% in the dry product, with mesembrine being the major alkaloid.

 

CARE & CULTIVATION

 

- Sceletium tortuosum likes a well drained mix in full sun to part shade.

- Makes an excellent ground cover.

- Actively grows in colder and wetter winter times

- Becomes dormant with increasing heat, at which time watering should be slowed down and stopped in the hottest part of the year.

- Fertilise well when actively growing with SeaSol, worm tea or similar organic products.

 

MODERN PREPARATION METHOD

 

Step 1: Gather whole plant material including leaves, stems and root. Wash thoroughly.

Step 2: Using a large granite mortar and pestle, crush the material thoroughly.

Step 3: Place the crushed material into a sterilised glass Mason jar.

Step 4: Place in direct full sun for 8 days until fermentation is complete. Be sure to shake the jar daily then open the jar to release any gas build up.

Step 5: Lay the material into a flat glass baking tray and allow it to completely dry in the sun for between 3-5 days. Alternatively you can finish this process in the oven at 100°C for approx 3-4 hours.

Step 6: Grind the Kanna in a coffee grinder. For smoking, a rough grind is best. For making a snuff, a super fine grind will be required. For chewing or use in tea, leave it unpowdered.

 

Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
