The 7 dream plants
Seven plants that peoples — Mazatec (Chontal of Oaxaca), Xhosa, ancient Egyptians, European midwives, Hmong herbalists — held for centuries to cross the night. Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea), Calea Zacatechichi, Mugwort, Silene Capensis, Galantamine, Salvia divinorum, Entada Rheedii. With their named lineages, their real chemistry, their honest limits, and what INFUSE is not yet able to guarantee analytically.

Silene capensis (Silene undulata) — Undlela Ziimhlophe, “the white paths” — the central root of the Ubulawu lineage of the Xhosa amagqirha and the Zulu sangoma. 2024 chemical discovery: β-carbolines acting as 5-HT2A agonists. Southern African origin, the traditional foamed protocol, ritual vomiting honestly named, absolute red lines in pregnancy, comparison with Calea, Mugwort, Entada, and the cardinal pair Silene + Synaptolepis kirkii. Not a psychedelic kit. An initiation into a living lineage.
