Calea Zacatechichi, also botanically known as Calea Ternifolia,  is a renowned Oneirogen, meaning it is an herb which stimulates vivid dreaming and lucid dreaming abilities.

This herb has a rich history of use in Mexico by the Chontal natives as well as the Aztec in more ancient times.

Calea has a profound psychoactive effect when used while awake, allowing one to tune into spirit and increase meditation. The natives also use it before bed, either smoking it or drinking it as a tea (or both), to allow visionary dreams.

The value of Oneirogens is not only that they increase the vividness of dreams but also that they can allow one to receive messages and guidance through dreams. Check out our other Oneirogens such as Entada Rheedii and Silene Capensis for more mystical dream herbs!
