Suma root, or Pfaffia paniculata is a ground vine native to Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Suma root is nicknamed Brazilian ginseng or para tudo (translating from Spanish as “for all”). The root has been used in traditional Amazonian herbalism for its adaptogenic and wellness-supporting qualities. Suma root also has a history of use as a food source and it can be added to herbal formulations for its vanilla-like flavor. Typical preparations of suma root include decoctions and maceration as a liquid extract.
Suma root is a member of the Amaranthaceae botanical family.
