Dream Herb (Calea Zacatechichi)

Calea Zacatechichi, also known as "Dream Herb," is a shrub native to Central America, particularly Mexico and parts of Central America. It has a long history of traditional use among indigenous cultures, where it was often employed in rituals and practices aimed at enhancing dreams and supporting introspection. The plant grows in a variety of environments, ranging from dry to subtropical regions, and is characterized by its thin, elongated leaves.

When prepared as a tea or smoked, the dried leaves of Calea Zacatechichi are traditionally believed to  promote vivid dream recall and support lucid dreaming; a dream in which you are aware that you are dreaming. In the waking state, this herb gives a relaxed effect and creates a heightened state of consciousness. Users often report an increased awareness of their dreams and a deeper connection to their subconscious. The tea has a distinct, bitter taste and is typically consumed before sleep to encourage these effects.

USAGE

To prepare dream herb tea, steep around 5 grams in warm water for 15 minutes. Since the taste is quite bitter, some sugar or honey can be added. Works best when taken for several consecutive days.
