^{‘Marshmallow leaf Benefits}

^{Marshmallow is most commonly used to treat sore throats and dry coughs. The Marshmallow plant, especially the leaves and roots, contains polysaccharides that have antitussive, mucilaginous, and antibacterial properties. Because of this, marshmallow has a soothing effect on inflamed membranes in the mouth and throat when ingested orally, specifically a sore throat. The antitussive properties help reduce dry coughing and prevent further irritation.}

^{More recently, marshmallow has been used to treat certain digestive disorders, including heartburn, indigestion, ulcerative colitis, stomach ulcers and Chron's disease. The mechanism by which it soothes sore throats applies to gastrointestinal mucosa as well and regular consumption of marshmallow can help with the pain of ulcerative colitis and Chron's, and prevent stomach ulcers from perforation. Marshmallow extract is sometimes add to creams and used to treat inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema and contact dermatitis. Additional uses are currently being investigated. Marshmallow may be a helpful aid to radiologic esophageal examination. There is tentative evidence that marshmallow may also help with respiratory disorders such as asthma. Researchers may soon test marshmallow as a natural alternative to blood sugar management in diabetes.}

Calea Zacatechichi
the most powerful dream herb we have encountered. Our Calea Zacatechichi comes from Central Mexico where it was used by the Chontal medicine men for divination to discover the answer to many problems and also to find lost people.
  Although it has been used medically to reduce fever and dysentery, its use as a dream herb is what it is most famous for. Other cultures have used dream herbs; the Mazatec Indians used Lycoperdon, the Nahuatl used Xiwit (but mostly Calea Zacatechichi), the Tarahumara used Bakana, but it is Calea Zacatechichi that has been researched and shown to work scientifically.

The Calea Zacatechichi shrub grows (very easily) up to 6 feet tall and is mostly found around South Mexico to Costa Rica. It belongs to the Asteraceae family.
  The Chontal medicine men would use a handful of leaves to brew a cup of tea, smoke some more leaves then after placing a leaf under his pillow, go to sleep. The resulting sleep during which he could hear the voice of God (thought to be due to auditory hallucinations) he would experience enhanced dreaming which could feel as if years had passed, finally awakening with the answers to the problem at hand.
   The tea is said to be the worst in the world due to its bitterness which explains why medicine men drink it very slowly and most people prefer to just smoke the leaves.
If you were looking to get into lucid dreaming Calea Zacatechichi is a great way to start your journey.

Recent studies have shown Nymphaea caerulea to have mild psycho-active properties. It may have been used as a sacrament in ancient Egypt and certain ancient South American cultures. Eating Blue Lotus can act as a mild sedative. Nymphaea caerulea is distantly related to, and possesses similar activity to Nelumbo nucifera, the Sacred Lotus. Both Nymphaea caerulea and Nelumbo nucifera contain the alkaloids nuciferine and aporphine.^[4] The mildly sedating effects of Nymphaea caerulea makes it a likely candidate (among several) for the lotus plant eaten by the mythical Lotophagi in Homer's Odyssey.
