Suma Root

Suma Root (Pfaffia paniculata)

Suma (Pfaffia paniculata) is a ground vine in the Amaranthaceae family, native to the rainforests of Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Often called Brazilian ginseng or para tudo ("for all"), the root has been valued for generations in traditional Amazonian herbalism as an adaptogenic botanical that supports overall wellness and vitality.

In addition to its traditional herbal uses, suma root has also been enjoyed as a food and is appreciated for its mild, vanilla-like flavor. It is commonly prepared as a decoction (tea), tincture, or incorporated into herbal formulations, making it a versatile addition to both traditional and modern wellness practices.
