This is what is scientifically referred to as an "Oneirogen", or something believed to stimulate dream activity in the human brain and psyche. It was used by cultures and individuals in Africa for a long time. Again, it's of African origin, and is just now becoming popular today in the western world. It's called Synaptolepsis Kirkii, or Uvuma-omhlope. Yes, these names are very hard to pronounce. Feel free to give this species your own nick-name. Uvuma-omhlope is very rarely sold in the typical shops you would find these sorts of botanicals in. Be careful not to get sucked into dangerous and seductive false doctrine designed to lure one down the path towards the new age satanic religion. There is a huge revival of shamanic doctrine in the west, and shamanism is witchcraft / sorcery. Comminication with false gods ( spirits ) is a common practice in these cultures and will for sure lead to a curse. Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other Gods before him
The roots are used, much like that of Xhosa Dream Herb, and other oneirogens. They are either chewed, made into a decoction ( boiled ), or they could be soaked in everclear for up to four weeks in order to create a tincture. Personally, I like to make infused tinctures with different things like for example: Echinacea, Mullein, and Peppermint are good toegether. Believe me, there are some pretty cool and powerful combinations that you can make with roots and leaves given you have the experience and research under your belt. Even Moses in the bible made a holy anointing oil out of medicinal plants, that included cinnamon, aloe, frankincense, myrrh, and calamus(some argue calamus was a mistranslation and it was actually Cannabis, which honestly woulnd't surprise me, either are a fine ingredient). It was common in biblical days for people to anoint their foreheads. Again, we see the emphasis on the forehead. There's more than enough in the bible to indicate that its authors were aware of the pineal gland to some extent, probably more so than we know or imagine on a collective scale.
Scientific research has been conducted on its medicinal potential, and the findings have been quite impressive. It would take me a month to share all of it with you. The most notable potential medical qualities produced by a couple of its constituents may be Neurotrophic and antileukemic in their properties. Aside from the phytochemical research into its pharmacological potential, it has a history of lore surrounding it as well. I would encourage all of you to make use of Google's scholarly search engine via scholar.google.com There, you can find academic journals written by highly educated and brilliant researchers from around the globe! Serpent medical corporations use this knowledge to get wealthy and praise they don't deserve. They are merely trying to rip of God's design and steal credit for it. Their drugs are typically far more dangerous, and the potential harms far out weight the consequences. In emergency situations, they can come in handy, but when used as a daily way to be "healthy", this is a lie. God did not intend for us to live our lives eating pills thinking they're the tree of life, as they are not. Remember the graven image of the medical caduceus and how it is tied to the false gods of asclepius and hermes.
When it comes to folk-lore, It's said to induce pseudo-clairvoyance, trance like states, and neurological clarity during dream states. These beliefs originate from cultures in Africa. They thought that it would induce this state of "divinatory dreaming", which is often mis-labeled as "prophetic". I want to correct this lie that divination is prophecy. Watch these shamanic ethnobotanical websites and shops because they often refer to divination as prophecy. Scripture says that prophecy comes by the will of God only, and not by that of man. The use of divination tools and practices is by mans will. These practices invoke familiar spirits and communication therewith, which the bible warns against for good reasons. There are real life curses association with embarking on these shamanic journeys. Always remember Exodus 20:3,4-** No other gods before him. Ethnobotany, is the study of the cultural use of plants, but a very dangerous field. This plant Synaptolepsis kirkii in particular, has a lot of different ways in which it was used, from medicine, to a dream aid, to having a history of use in a religious context. Consider context in which a plant is used. I can't flat out condemn this plant, as I don't know enough to do that yet, but I want to encourage everyone to make sure what you're consuming isn't poison, use the resources I link to in the citation section, and ask God for discernment and consider context. Find what is right for you but don't just use something to use something, research research research.
Intelligent design lies behind the blue prints of these plants and the chemical constituents that they produce. They produce and contain chemicals just as the human body does. Phytochemicals are produced by plants. They are exquisitely designed chemicals which are created in accordance to the genetic blueprint programmed into the plants DNA by the process of evolution. At least five known daphnane-type diterpene orthoesters have been isolated and researched from this herb. Neurotrophic and anti-leukaemia properties were produced by these compounds in vitro. It also contains Kirkinine, a powerful nootropic. You see, plants are essentially biological hardware, which are executing extremely lengthy and intricate sets of instructions, also known as "code" or "software". This is my perception on the matter anyway. They are designed to accomplish such asstonishing feats in my belief.
