Blue Lotus

Blue Lotus was used in Ancient Egypt to enhance the Sex drive. Egyptians medicinal practitioners also used this flower to stimulate blood flow, and as an anti aging treatment. Blue Lotus as a visionary plant and it was the symbol for a key to good health, Sex and rebirth and the symbol for the origins of life. It is an aphrodisiac for both men and women as well as a general remedy and tonic.

When prepared as a tea the flowers produce a thick, gold/clear liquid that reminds one of melted amber. The liquid is ever so slightly sweet and upon being consumed creates a warm, euphoric glow. The dried flower can be smoked by themselves or blended with other herbs to add flavor and an euphoric effect to your favorite smoking mixture. There is some indication that the effects of Blue Lotus may be enhanced if soaked in wine (which is thought to be the original Egyptian method of use) or other alcohol.

Damiana

Damiana (Turnera Diffusa) is a mild aphrodisiac and mood elevator.

Smoking the herb provides a Marijuana-like high feeling. Turnera Diffusa contains caffeine-like alkaloids and essential oils which are responsible for much of its physiological effects.

When used as a tea, the herb will intensify your erotic feelings.

Damiana also encourages good health, as it enhances blood circulation (especially to the genitals) and regulates your hormone production. It is found to be useful against mild depression, sexual disinterest and menstrual problems.

Dream Herb (Calea Zacatechichi)

Calea zacatechichi is a shrub that has reportedly been utilised by Chontal Indians from the Mexican state of Oaxaca as a hallucinogen. Its dried leaves are used before sleep to increase dreaming. Its effects are not well documented.

The crushed dried leaves should be steeped in hot water and the tea then drunk slowly. Traditionally the user should lie down in a quiet place and smoke a joint of the dried leaves of the same plant.

Dosage is simply a handful of the plant, as reported by the Chontal people for their divinatory purposes. The user will come to know when they have taken a large enough dose when a sense of tranquility and drowsiness is achieved.
