HelpRelaxing Herbs and Botanicals
Relaxing is the name of this shelf, not a promise printed on a label. What is actually here is 51 separate products: kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) in six forms, dried blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) flowers, bark, leaf and root sold by weight, plus Zornia latifolia, the 20 gram herb known in Portuguese as maconha brava, which is not cannabis. Every relax herb is listed by species, format and weight, so you can see exactly what you are buying before it goes in the basket.

What's On The Shelf, From Kanna To Wormwood
People type "relax herb" into Google as if there's one plant doing the job and the rest are imitations. There isn't. This corner of the smartshop holds 51 products with almost nothing in common except the theme they're filed under: a Brazilian tree bark, a South African succulent, flowers from an Egyptian water lily, a Southeast Asian rhizome that also turns up in curry paste.
Forget The One Magic Herb
Sorting by effect gets you nowhere, so sort by format instead. Loose dried herb by the bag is one group. Extracts and tinctures with a strength on the label are another. Capsules and Zamnesia's own blends are the third. Once you know which of those three you want to live with, the shortlist gets short fast.
Kanna, Blue Lotus and Kratom, Named and Numbered
Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) sits here in six forms: plain Kanna, Kanna Extreme, Nano Kanna, Nano Kanna Extreme, Kanna 10x Extract and Kanna Extract UC2. The numbers on the label are concentration, so a 10x extract is a long way from plain plant material. Blue lotus comes as dried Nymphaea caerulea flowers and as a 15x tincture. Kratom covers Jetpackkratom GOLD and SILVER liquid extracts, GOLD capsules, Maeng Da powder and Kratom Bali 15x. Species, format and strength is all we list for these, and it's all you need to compare one listing against the next.
Bark, Leaf and Root, Sold By The Bag
Mulungu is shredded bark from a Brazilian tree, 80g, and the brew tastes faintly of aniseed with a mildly spicy smell. Two heaping teaspoons in 250ml of boiling water, 20 minutes, then strain. Watch out for that steep time, it's longer than almost anything else on this shelf and rushing it wastes good bark. Wild lettuce is dried shredded leaf, bitter from the milky latex in the plant, and it makes itself known on the first sip in a way chamomile never does. Flowers steep in minutes; bark wants a proper sit.
| Herb | Botanical name | Traditional home | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mulungu | Erythrina mulungu | Brazil, Peru | 80g shredded bark |
| Wild lettuce | Lactuca virosa | Southern Europe | Dried shredded leaf |
| Chamomile | Matricaria recutita | Egypt, Greece, Rome | 50g flowers |
| Ginseng | Panax ginseng | Korean peninsula | 25g root |
| Galangal | Alpinia officinarum | Thailand, Vietnam | 50g rhizome |
| Bay bean | Canavalia maritima | Coastal Mexico | 20g dried leaves |
| Maconha brava | Zornia latifolia | South America | 20g dried herb |
Also by weight: lavender, lemon balm, hops flowers, catnip, valerian, wormwood, scutellaria, prickly poppy, Mexican tarragon, klip dagga, Leonotis leonurus flowers plus its 20x extract, marihuanilla in herb and 25x extract form, passionflower 10x and ashwagandha. Not everything here brews, mind. The Zamnesia ear plugs come in four types, Dream, Zen and Travel at SNR26 and Music/Party at SNR20, and there's no way to make ear plugs sound exciting, they just get re-ordered after every festival. The two Trip Stopper kits pair dissolving Dextro tablets with Valeriaan capsules in one box, with Blind Spot 3000 next to them. Palo Santo incense sticks and the Zamnesia blends finish the shelf: Natural Relax, Relax-E, Heavenly-E, Recover-E, L-Tryptophan with B6, 5-HTP, GABA, MoodMaster by Mindscopic and StressLess oral spray by Foodsporen.
Steep It Slowly, And Know When To Skip It
None of these herbs are for anyone under 18. There isn't enough data on use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so leave them be. On medication, or dealing with an illness, talk to a health professional first. Wild lettuce needs extra care: the latex holds bitter alkaloids, and badly prepared material can cause problems, so follow the tea method rather than improvising. The blends are food supplements, not a stand-in for eating properly, and the dose on the pack is the dose. Never bought loose herb before? Start with the 50g chamomile, it's forgiving and hard to get wrong. Already own a teapot you trust? Mulungu 80g is the bark our customers ask about most.
Frequently asked questions
- What actually counts as a relax herb on this page?
There's no single one. The shelf gathers 51 products that share a theme, not a mechanism: loose dried herbs by weight like mulungu bark and chamomile flowers, extracts and tinctures with a strength on the label, capsules, and Zamnesia's own supplement blends. Pick by format first, then by species.
- What's the difference between Kanna and Kanna Extreme?
Both are Sceletium tortuosum, the same South African plant. The difference is how concentrated the material is, and the label tells you: plain Kanna sits at the raw plant end, while Kanna Extreme, Nano Kanna Extreme, Kanna 10x Extract and Kanna Extract UC2 are processed further. Compare the strength markings on the listings rather than the names alone.
- Is maconha brava the same thing as cannabis?
No, and the two aren't related. Maconha brava is Zornia latifolia, a South American herb, and we stock it as a 20 gram bag of dried plant material. The name is a folk name, nothing more.
- How do you brew mulungu bark?
Two heaping teaspoons of shredded bark to 250ml of boiling water, steep 20 minutes, then strain. The full 20 minutes matters, it's a longer steep than the flower teas on this shelf. Expect a slightly aniseed taste with a mildly spicy aroma, which is nothing like chamomile.
- Who should give these herbs a miss?
Anyone under 18, and anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, since there's too little data on most of these plants. If you're on medication or managing a health complaint, check with a health professional before using them. Store everything cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
