Suma (Hebanthe eriantha), commonly referred to as Brazilian ginseng, is a species of plant in the Amaranthaceae family. The root of the suma plant is commonly used to make medicine. Nicknamed "para tudo" which means "for all", suma is a traditional herbal medicine. Suma has historically been used in the Amazon rainforest region by indigenous tribes to treat a variety of conditions, including a tonic for energy, to boost sexuality, treat anxiety and ulcers, and more. Today, in areas such as Equador, suma continues to be used as a tribal folk medicine for the treatment of a variety of health maladies.
