Cancer Bush Powder
From N$115.00
Cancer Bush (Sutherlandia frutescens) is one of southern Africa’s most celebrated and widely researched medicinal plants, with a long history of traditional use across the region. Known in Afrikaans as Kankerbos and in various indigenous languages across Namibia and South Africa, this powerful adaptogenic herb has been used for centuries to support the immune system, combat stress, and promote overall vitality. Its bitter, earthy character signals the presence of potent active compounds including L-canavanine, pinitol, and GABA — making it one of the most pharmacologically interesting botanicals in African traditional medicine.
