SUMA (Pfaffia paniculata)  aka - Brazilian Ginseng

Suma is an ancient herb dubbed as “para todo” by the Brazilian Indians meaning “for everything.” In Brazil, Suma is reported to be more powerful than Ginseng and it is referred to as Brazilian Ginseng. But Suma is like Siberian Ginseng and should not be confused with the Oriental Ginseng of the Panax family. Suma increases energy, strengthens the immune system, fortifies hormones (especially estrogen), reduces tumors and cancers and regulates blood sugar. Suma is an adaptogenic herb, normalizing functions in the body to heal and prevent disease. It relieves stress and helps the body to adapt to many varied environmental and psychological stresses. It protects against viral infections and benefits cancer cases by its blood and systemic purification. Suma helps hormonal levels by balancing estrogen levels. Suma is reputed to be valuable in treating diabetes, joint diseases, osteomyelitis, elevated blood sugar and various cancers.
