Suma Ginseng For
High Blood Pressure

Add Suma To Your Selection Of
Teas For Variety And Health

Although it has been nicknamed "Suma Ginseng," "Brazilian Ginseng," Suma Root (Pfaffia paniculata) is not actually a member of the Ginseng family. It has gained this identity by its use within the sizeable Japanese community in Brazil. Suma should not be confused with traditional Ginseng, which can actually have negative effects on High Blood Pressure. It has also earned the name "Para Tudo." Para Tudo is a Portugese term translated "For All," meaning that this wonder herb is good for everyone.

Pfaffia Paniculata is a large shruby vine native to South America, and has been widely known and used as a medicinal herb. The species can be found growing along the borders of the Parana River, but the collection of it for profit have made it more rare. The Japanese patented a method of extracting the active ingredients from the root of the plant, which are; beta-ecdysterone (an anabolic agent), three ecdysteroid glycosides, and saponins. Saponins have been clinically demonstrated in Japanese studies to inhibit tumor cells, and regulate blood sugar levels.

Although Suma Root can be purchased from a health store as a nutritional supplement, it is most effective when taken in tea form which allows it immediate entrance into the blood stream. It can also be taken in a condensed liquid form and measured in droplets. Taken regulary 2-3 times a day, Suma can boost your immune system, rid the body of toxins, and provide oxygen to body cells. It can also combat fatigue, anemia, and stress. The high content of vitamins and minerals have made it a good option for strengthening the liver, treating AIDs, cancer, menopause, hormonal imbalances, digestive troubles, and of course, High Blood Pressure. The indigenous people living in the rain forests along the Amazon River have used this herb as a medicine for as long as they can remember. Suma Ginseng can protect the body from external pollutants and toxins by fortifying the immune system. It can restore health by healing damage done by toxins.

As with all herbal remedies, it is important to consult your physician, since extenuating circumstances specific to individuals can affect the desired results. One mistake that is commonly made is to assume that herbs like this can be used to offset destructive behaviors and allow for the ingestion of harmful substances. Always use these remedies with caution and respect for the human physiology.

All in all, this herb is relatively safe and can be counted on to deliver the desired benefits. But as with all herbal remedies, they are to be incorporated into the daily routine and the effects are mostly gradual. Do not expect immediate results or get impatient when expectations are not met. Herbal remedies are not meant to be a "quick fix," but rather a safety net of long term protection.
