What is Hoodia?

Hoodia gordonii is a leafless spiny succulent plant with medicinal properties. It grows naturally in South Africa and Namibia. The flowers smell like rotten meat and are pollinated mainly by flies. The indigenous the San people (Bushmen) of the Namib desert call this planthoba (pronounced- the initial sound is a lateral click) - and the Afrikaans Ghaap.

Historically, Kalahari Bushmen ate hoodia stems to reduce their hunger and thirst during long hunts. Today, the main folk use of hoodia is as an appetite suppressant for weight loss.
