Calea zacatechichi Organic (Mexican Dream Herb) Dried Aerials

Description Calea zacatechichi, known as Mexican Dream Herb, has been used in folk remedies for thousands of years as an appetite stimulant, cleansing agent, calming agent, laxative, and for treatment of diarrhoea, dysentery, fever, skin rashes, headache, and respiratory disorders such as asthma. This is the extremely bitter variety of Calea, it is grown organically in Australia and is freshly harvested each year just for us. The native Chontal people of Oaxaca call it thle-pela-kano, and use it for divination rituals, or inducing psychic dreams, which involve smoking the dried leaves, flowers and stems, drinking it as a tea, and placing it under a pillow to induce divinatory dreams. Some reported effects on dreams include the ability to alter or control your dreams, having more vivid, memorable, or longer dreams, and gaining a sense of deeper knowledge and understanding of your dreams. Researchers believe it produces these effects by acting on the central nervous system. In addition, Calea has also been studied for mental enhancement. For some people, Calea zacatechichi appears to increase mental clarity and boost cognitive abilities, like focus and improved reaction time. Calea may also temporarily lower your blood pressure and breathing rate, so you might also feel relaxed, sleepy, calm, or even a bit detached from reality.   Tea Servings. Heat water to a boil.
