Suma Root (Pfaffia paniculata) is the root of a rambling ground vine found in South America used traditionally by the Amazonian peoples as a medicine and tonic. It is not of the Panax (The Ginseng) family but, nevertheless, it is sometimes called Brazilian Ginseng in the Western World.

It is also nicknamed para tudo which means “for all.”

Suma is an herbal medicine with adaptogenic qualities that serves to normalise and enhance body systems, increase resistance to stress, and boost overall functioning. It has been used for a variety of ailments hence the name “para tudo.”

Suma is said to support hormonal balance, reduce inflammation, enhance immunity, increase libido, and a provide a number of normalizing and rejuvenating effects.

The two hormones found in Suma, sitosterol and stipmasterol, have been found beneficial to the heart and they aid in lowering cholesterol levels in the blood. It is antioxidant in nature as it contains germanium so it fights free radicals.
