This Ancient Herb Can Help You Stress Less!

What if I told you there’s a natural herb from South Africa that’s been used for centuries to ease stress, uplift mood, and sharpen focus? 🌿 Today, we’re diving into Sceletium tortuosum—better known as Kanna. This powerful plant is gaining attention as a natural alternative for stress relief, calm energy, and mental clarity. But does it really work—or is it just another supplement trend?

👨‍⚕️ I’m Pharmacist Michael, and in this video, I’ll break down:
✅ What is Kanna? (traditional use & modern extracts)
✅ How it works in the brain – serotonin reuptake inhibition + PDE4 inhibition
✅ What the research shows about stress, anxiety, cognition, and sleep
✅ How to take it safely (forms, dosing, timing)
✅ Side effects & safety tips you MUST know
✅ My final thoughts – is Kanna worth trying?

📌 Important: Because Kanna affects serotonin, do not combine it with antidepressants (SSRIs, MAOIs) or psychiatric medications without medical supervision. Always choose a trusted, third-party tested supplement.
