Calea zacatechichi, also known as Dream Herb, Cheech, and Bitter Grass.
Used by the indigenous Chontal of the Mexican state of Oaxaca for oneiromancy (a form of divination based on dreams). It has been scientifically demonstrated that extracts of this plant increase reaction times and the frequency and/or recollection of dreams versus placebo and diazepam. It is also employed by the Chontal people as a medicinal herb against gastrointestinal disorders, and is used as an appetizer, cathartic anti-dysentery remedy, and as a fever-reducing agent. The Chontal medicine men who assert that this plant is capable of "clarifying the senses", call it thle-pela-kano, meaning "leaf of God". Whenever they desire to know the cause of an illness or the location of a distant or lost person, dry leaves of the plant are smoked, drunk in infusions, and put under the pillow before going to sleep. Reportedly, the answer to the question comes in a dream.
You will receive a well rooted plant in a 4" pot like in the photo.
