THE STORY BEHIND ANXIOUSLESS
Sceletium tortuosum grows in desert climes of South Africa. For more than 300 years, natives have gathered and used this plant. In 1685, Governor Simon van der Stel wrote that the natives chewing this plant were “of a very cheerful nature.” Polish chemist Casimir Funk discovered thiamin in 1912. He termed it the “anti-beri-beri factor” for its ability to prevent a disease that had ravaged Southeast Asia. He isolated thiamin from the bran of brown rice. Prior to that, Christiaan Eijkman and Adolphe Vorderman had been studying the effect of diet on the body regarding polished rice versus brown rice. Later, English biochemist Frederick Hopkins confirmed their findings. And in 1929, Eijkman and Hopkins shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine for this work. Magnesium was named for the region in Greece where this mineral compound was first found. It has a soothing effect on the bowel, but it’s also critical to nervous system balance and structural health.*
