Medicinal properties and applications: anti-acid, indigestion, stomach and bile related ailments; mental strength, both energizing and relaxing.(Heaven, Charing 2006 60) Note: See my resources and citations along with scholar.google.com, JSTOR.org and other peer reviewed journals in various online electronic databases; These resources and citations back up claims made on my website about any science.I am not a doctor or scientist and nothing I say should be taken as a medical claim. Phytochemistry is real, plant pharmacology a thing, and the general theme this day of age is that people are God haters, especially chemist, as in they want to be the Alpha and Omega, the Ancient Of Days, but they simply can't, and do not recognize that this is the case.
Here at Botanical Guides.com I've made it my mission to introduce and discuss rarely mentioned plants to the public. My pages are meant to provide new and accurate information on these plants, instead of the same paraphrased content you see all over the internet time and time again, sometimes dangerously marketed content at that. If you're tired of reading the same reworded information on the same plants over and over, then you've come to the right place. I also like to warn about potential dangers that others seem to leave out. I do not condemn all plants, nor claim that they are all bogus. Some are good, non-toxic, and backed by sound scientific and religious backing, others are clearly dangerous and to be avoided. Discernment is a beautiful thing, and we have many ways of going about exercising that gift. {1 Corinthians 12}
It's scientific name is Ilex guayusa, but it's commonly known as Guayusa. It's closely related to Yerba Mate ( Ilex paraguariensis ), as indicated by the scientific name. Some believe Yerba Mate to also be an oneirogen. Guayusa has a reputation by the Amazonian medicine peoples ( shamans ) as being an oneirogen capable of assisting in the induction of lucid dreams. (Heaven, Charing 2006 60) A lucid dream is when you're aware of the fact that you're dreaming, while it's happening. I am unsure how Christianity and Lucid dreaming vibe together, if it's an abomination or not.. I don't jump to conclusions like most Christians. If you are unsure after thorough research, contemplation, meditation on the word, and prayer, then just treat it like it is an abomination, and forget it and move on.Note: If you buy this online, it may have came from a Shaman, which are basically sorcerers. Remember, the bible says if you bring an accursed item into your house you become accursed like it.
According to Amazonian belief, it's known as the "night watchman's plant", because they believe that while you're sleeping you still have an awareness of your outer physical surroundings.(Heaven, Charing 2006 60) These beliefs are very interesting, and the properties this plant is believed to induce are very unique when it comes to plant based oneirogens. I love studying various cultures and making connections between what is true, and how things relate in order to expose the truth. I testify that the Bible is the real word of God. Guayusa has many medicinal applications as well. The phytochemicals that it produces are the pharmacological mechanisms behind its action. To the shamans though, there is much more to plants and their abilities. Note: It may have very well been the familiar spirits behind these families at play and not always the plant, or a combination or the two.
God gave us the ability to dream, so we can not condemn them all together. In Job 33:14-19 the bible confirms that God speaks to us through dreams. { Job 33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, 17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword." } It even says prophets are announced via the mechanism of dreams: { Numbers 12:6 KJV “And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.” } So is lucid dreaming pushing the boundaries for a Christian? I can not answer that question for you. See what people are saying about this on Quora.com, ask God when you pray, and seek the scripture. It's a tricky question really. I ask God for lucid dreams, a simple solution.I can say, be warned about doctrine associated with "ethnobotanicals", because it is often times shamanic ( a form of witchcraft and sorcery )The problem with this is the failure to address and respect the Most High God, while catering to the desires of whatever spirit comes along. You've heard the of, "The holy spirit", well... it should be your only spirit guide. Research "familiar spirits", and see Derek Prince's sermon "Generational Curses". It explains the first two commandments (Exodus 20) as well, and has everything to do with what I'm discussing here on this page.
