Description
The Wild Dagga plant extract, also called Lion’s Tail or Lion’s Ear, belongs to the category of plant extracts obtained from plants with a long ethnobotanical tradition. Leonotis leonurus is a perennial shrub native to South Africa, part of the Lamiaceae family, valued both for its unique ornamental appearance and its traditional use in various African cultures.
Through controlled extraction processes, this 20x natural extract concentrates the plant compounds found in the aerial parts of the plant, providing a more stable, homogeneous, and easily preserved presentation compared to raw plant material.
Wild Dagga has been historically used by indigenous peoples of Southern Africa, such as the Khoikhoi and the San, both in ritual contexts and traditional medicine. Over time, the plant was introduced to other regions, reaching Europe around the 17th century, where it sparked botanical and ornamental interest.
In African herbal tradition, Wild Dagga natural extract has been used in plant preparations associated with relaxation, rest, and stress relief, as well as in contexts related to digestive or respiratory discomfort. Historically, it has also been linked to mild psychoactive effects, described as gentle and clearly distinct from more intense plants, earning it the popular nickname “wild marijuana.”
Its active compounds include leonurine and marrubiin, which explain its significance in ethnobotany and herbalism. Leonurine, in particular, is cited in traditional uses related to female well-being and relief of menstrual discomfort.
