What is Hoodia?
Hoodia is a genus in the plant family Apocynaceae, in the part of the family previously treated as a separate family Asclepiadaceae. They are stem succulents that can reach up to 1 m high and present exuberant flowers, often with flesh colour and strong smell. Hoodias are protected plants, typical of the Namib Desert, ranging from Central Namibia to southern Angola, especially in plains and rocky areas. Common names include "Bushmans Hat" and "Queen of the Namib". It has been used by the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert to suppress appetite.

Who are the San Bushmen?
The Bushmen (also known as Khwe Khoe, Basarwa, or San) peoples of South Africa and neighboring Botswana and Namibia, who live in the Kalahari, are part of the Khoisan group and are related to the Khoikhoi. While they have no collective name for themselves in any of their languages, all of which incorporate click consonants, they do identify themselves by group with such names as Ju/'hoansi and !Kung (the punctuation characters representing different clicks). They have lived in southern Africa (and probably other areas of Africa) for some 20,000 years. Along with the pygmies of Central Africa, the Bushmen have been considered a possible root or source for the female DNA lineage-the so-called Mitochondrial Eve. Traditionally the Bushmen culture is hunter-gatherer with the people living in temporary wooden shelters amidst a difficult environment. The Bushmen would use a manual communication system while hunting.
