About Suma Root Powder
Suma root has been traditionally included in South American herbal systems and is sometimes referred to historically as a tonic or adaptogenic-style herb. In traditional contexts, it has appeared in preparations associated with balance, stamina, stress resilience, and overall vitality, and is typically used over time rather than for acute situations.
In powdered form, suma is especially convenient for mixing into warm beverages, smoothies, or incorporating into blended herbal formulas.
