Sutherlandia is regarded as one of the most
beneficial medicinal plants in Southern Africa, with the
leaves having been used by diverse cultural groups since
traditional times for medicinal purposes. The plant is a highly
effective adaptogen, as it helps the immune system to adapt to
stress and disease. Its most common uses are to stimulate the
appetite in severely ill and emaciated patients, and in the
treatment of Type 2 diabetes (as it stabilizes and regulates blood
sugar levels). Sutherlandia can also be used in the treatment
of chronic fatigue syndrome, ME syndrome, viral hepatitis, asthma,
bronchitis and flu, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, peptic
ulcers, urinary tract ailments and liver
conditions
The principle active ingredients in sutherlandia
frutescens include L-Canavanine (a non-protein amino acid thought
to have anti-viral and anti-cancer properties), pinitol (an
anti-diabetic agent that is used in the treatment of wasting
syndrome in cancer and AIDS patients) and GABA (a neuro-transmitter
that reduces anxiety and depression, promoting a sense of well
being).
