*So, What is This Marvelous Weight-Loss Help Called "Hoodia?"*

First let's set the record straight. Hoodia's real name is hoodia gordonii, however it is more popularly called hoodia. Hoodia is an attractive small plant that looks like a little cactus, but isn't. It is actually a member of the succulent plants of the Apocynaceae family, which is found in South Africa.

The African San People have used hoodia for thousands of years to suppress their appetite during times when food was scarce. The San People, also called "Bushmen," have found hoodia useful for many other purposes also:

- To suppress the appetite when food was scarce

- A thirst quencher

- To relieve stomach cramping

- Hemorrhoids

- To help with Tuberculosis

- To help poor digestion

- For hypertension relief

- For diabetes control

Although the Sans People used hoodia for all the above, I have no idea how effective it was for everything on the list above. However, it is what it is used for in the modern world that has caused such a buzz.
