Suma is known in South America as para toda - "for all things" - and also as Brazilian Ginseng: it's widely used as an adaptogen, similarly to "regular" Ginseng. For hundreds of years, the indigenous peoples of the Amazon region have employed Suma for a wide variety of uses: as a general tonic; as an energizing, rejuvenating and sexual tonic; and as a general cure-all for many types of illnesses.
