Calea Zacatechichi (Dream Herb) Wildcrafted [1 oz.] #1

Calea is also known as “Dream Herb” because it was used by the Mazatec Shamans to induce lucid dreaming. This includes things like realizing one is dreaming while dreaming, controlling dreams, dreaming more vividly, and increasing recollection of dreams. The ability to dream lucidly is said to increase with practice. We make no claims about the ability of this product to have any effect on dreaming. This is the traditional, bitter variety of calea zacatechichi. It is collected from the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. We also offer the so-called “Sweet” or “Non-bitter” variety. This product contains leaf and flowers and has a strong, pleasant aroma.

Calea zacatechichi, also called dream herb and bitter grass, is a shrub plant that primarily grows in Mexico. It has a long history of use for all kinds of health issues, especially gastrointestinal concerns.
