Suma powder is produced from the root of a South American vine-like groundcover also known as Brazilian ginseng and locally as para tudo, which means “for all” in Portuguese. Suma root contains a number of active compounds, including the same chemical found in comfrey.

Suma powder is typically used to make cosmetic and personal care products, including tooth powders, mouthwashes, shampoos and lotions.

While Pfaffia glomerata is the accepted scientific name for this herb, some sources refer to it by other botanical names, including Gomphrena paniculata, Hebanthe paniculata and Hebanthe eriantha.

In South America, the plant is known as Para Toda, which means “does all things,” a reference to the plant’s historical use as an adaptogen. Due to the herb’s qualities, suma is also known as Brazilian ginseng.
