Hoodia has been used by the San people of Southern Africa as an appetite suppressant and cure for indigestion for ages. The San have used Hoodia for centuries to combat hunger on long trips in the desert. Hoodia is a cactus, and the San would cut a piece of the plant and eat it fresh. Hoodia is native to a narrow region of Namibia, on the edge of the Kalahari Desert.
Hoodia acts as an appetite suppressant. Appetite suppressants are drugs that reduce the desire to eat. They can be used in the treatment of obesity. Some appetite suppressants are only available with a prescription, while others are available over the counter. They contain a variety of active ingredients, and work in different ways. The majority of appetite suppressants are stimulants.
Hoodia has been used by South African Bushmen as an appetite suppressant and thirst quencher during long hunting trips for more than 100,000 years.
