Cancer bush tea is extracted from a hardy perennial shrub with orange-red flowers, called Sutherlandia frutescens. This indigenous medicinal plant is drought-resistant and is used extensively in South Africa to treat various health conditions. The Sutherlandia plant is often harvested wild and is very popular, having more than 25 recorded names across multiple regions. Within South Africa, you’ll find the cancer bush plant in the Northern Cape, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape and Western Cape.

The healing properties of cancer bush (Sutherlandia) rely on its ability to help the human body to make use of its own immunologic and physiologic resources to help fight diseases and reduce mental and emotional stress[3]. Studies carried out on cancer bush extracts have proven it to possess antiproliferative, antiviral, anti-stress, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, antibacterial, antioxidant, and antithrombotic properties[4]. This aligns with existing traditional knowledge about the plant.
