Medicinal Properties Of Calea Zacatechichi
Non-Dream Applications For Calea Zacatechichi(Leaf Of God)
Ezekiel 47:12 "And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine."
Quick starting note: Calea turnifolia and Calea zacatechichi are the same exact plant.[x] They two are synonyms for one another.
My intention: What I aim to do in this blog is to illustrate the non-dream and non-ceremonial applications that Calea z has as a medicine. It is recognized by academics as having legitimate medical validity.[1] This means that outside of cultural lore and indigenous beliefs, the science is on board. I cite plenty of scholarly sources on this throughout the blog. I want to show people that there are medicinal applications outside of the more commonly known applications that people learn through shops online and marketers in their marketing. These ethnobotanicals are being marketed in specific ways, while their legitimate academically recognized pharmacological validity exist and is most often ignored and pushed to the back burner. I'm also here to squash the LIE that Calea z is a hallucinogen, it is NOT a hallucinogen.
A Brief Rundown On Calea Z's Ethnobotany: Calea zacatechichi is a plant that is mostly known for its use as a dream supplement, and as an indigenous ceremonial oneirogen(that's a dream inducing herb), in Oaxaca Mexico, where it is used by local shamans(witches).[4][5] It's popular across the globe, and has always been sold in ethnobotanical shops online. Shamans from the region of Mexico use it for divination, necromancy, and vivid/lucid dreams.[4][5] It has a wide range of recognized medical validity outside of the occult however, and scientist have proven this.[1] The socialist are after the ethnobotanical market, and want to control it, and which ethnobotanicals you can legally obtain, and even the safety of those products are in jeopardy.
According to one academic source: "Calea zacatechichi is valuable for rituals, and has antidiabetic, spasmolytic, antinociceptive, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory properties, and is used in various human ailments for instance, skin diseases, anorexia, stomachache, diarrhea, and bile-related problems."[1] For more information on what these terms mean, I'm working on a medical terms glossary page to help you and I learn. I thought we would go over each individual property one by one and discuss what the science has to say about the plant, outside of its use in the occult, and outside of its use as a dream supplement. Calea zacatechichi, like all other plants, produce insane amounts of naturally occurring/reoccurring drugs/medicines, known as phytochemicals.[6][x] Here are some phytochemicals that are produced by the Calea z plant: Demethylisoencecalin, and caleins A, and C(was found at a rate of 3.16-31.6 mg/kg, po), herniarin, scoparone, calein c, to name a few.[6] Each one of those chemicals can be researched further from scholarly sources online like the National Library Of Medicine, PubMed, the National Institute Of Health, etc. The scholarly source that I just cited goes on to state that: "It was demonstrated for the first time that these compounds and the essential oil of the plant reduced postprandial hyperglycemia, one of the most common abnormalities in the early phase of type 2 diabetes, after a sucrose challenge. These results are in agreement with the previously demonstrated in vitro a-clucosidase inhibitory activity of chromenes, caleins a, and caleins c."[6]
More phytochemicals produced by Calea z.: Flavonoids and sesquiterpenes are the main phytochemical components of the plant, but some components are reported to be cytotoxic.[1] Keep in mind that dosage matters in regards to the toxicity of those components, as the Ardnt Schult Medical Rule always matters.[3] As an observation from reading about these ethnobotanicals from scholarly sources, and books, etc, for many years, I can tell you that Flavonoids are nothing out of the ordinary, and you can expect to find them in any given plant, although they vary. Sesquiterpenes are also common, but again terpenes vary from plant to plant, and we know this from scientific research into Cannabis especially, because remember terpenes are what give a plant its smell and taste.[12] Understanding how terpenes effect you, and which plants produce which ones, can help you to better understand herbal medicine in general, and even the pharmacology of the food that you eat, which I just embedded a link to a full blog on the subject, that evolves over time.
What are: Chromenes, Calein a, and c. Chromenes, Calein a, and C are medicines(drugs) known as phytochemicals, that are produced within the plant, Calea zacatechichi. There are insane numbers of more medicines that the plant produces too, just check the scholarly databases yourself. Much like how Morphine comes from the Opium poppy, and Calein a & C come from Calea zacatechichi, as they are phytochemicals produced by the plant.[?][6] They are responsbile for the a-clucosidase inhibitory activity produced by the plant.[6]
More phytochemical variations of chromene produced by Calea zacatechichi 6-acetyl-7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylchromene, 6-acetyl-7-methoxy-2,2-dimethylchromene, 6-(1-hydroxyethyl)-7-methoxy-2,2-dimethylchromene and 6-(1-ethoxyethyl)-7-methoxy-2,2-dimethylchromene.[7] These are complex medicines produced by the Dream Herb. Herbal remedies produce drugs and medicines, known as phytochemicals.[9][10] These are the long scientific names. Drugs have long scientific chemical names, and then they have shorter "common names".[9][10] An example is how Ecstacy is known by the name "Ecstacy", but the scientific name is: 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine. and it is a type of methamphetamine.[?] The phytochemicals listed above are variations of one basical constituent, known simply as "chromene", hints the "chromene" at the end of their lengthy scientific names. We can see this pattern all throughout the ethnobotanical kingdom, as Mescaline producing cacti are a great example of this. Mescaline producing cactus also produce a wide range of strikingly similar phenethylamines that closely resemble both dopamine, and Mescaline, and well... each other.[8]. People generally obsess over one active narcotic or component of a plant, but generally they produce insane numbers of medically valid drugs and medicines, most of which are often not even known to the general public or population. A great example of this is how Marijuana is known for its THC, yet it produces hundreds of pharmacologically significant phytochemicals.[11]
Possible Calea z. toxcicity at higher doses: For the sake of covering all bases, we will discuss the potential toxicity that Calea z may possess at higher doses. I've already cited one scholarly source that tells us that Calea zacatechichi has a wide range of legitimate pharmacological activity(medicinal properties), so we know it has medical validity. All medicine however, has to be utilized properly, and the dosage that's administered, and the duration over which the drug is taken, play a role in whether or not that drug is beneficial, or ultimately detrimental to health, and this is called the Ardnt Shultz Rule[2][3]. For example, Penicilin is prescribed and consumed in specific dosages, for specific durations of time, because dosages of the drug that are too large are poisonous. I personally don't suggest long-term use of Calea z. Even when I use it, I take breaks. I won't take it for more than 5-6 days at a time. That may even be pushing it. According to the Mexican Health Authorities, Calea zacatechichi is registered as one of broadly used therapeutic plant species.[1]

Final note about what happened to the ethnobotanical industry: After the socialist robbed all of the O.G's in the industry, and sent their product to targets and friends across the country to destroy the industry and take it over, I don't buy from those shops anymore. I did everything that I could to keep the originals behind the industry in business with my botanicalguides.com operation, but the socialist managed to sabotage all of their operations, rob them, and are now selling stolen product, including kratom the belonged to Edens Ethnobotanicals, all across the internet, and using social media cencorship so they can cheat, rope off the international economy, and oppress real men everywhere that they hate. A bunch of criminals in the Pensacola FBI, DEA, and SRCSO worked with criminals out in California to defame me and millionaires across the country, and rob the industry. They baited me some of Edens kratom, as a government trap so they could steal it and pin it on me[I'm now a whistle blower])
One of the coolest ethnobotanical shops to ever exist was Bouncing Bear Botanicals, unfortunately a bunch of aladin juts(fremasons, neo nazi's, and satanic temple losers) robbed them and tried to pass it off like it was a legit raid.. He was arrested for "k2" before it was even illegal, and that wasn't being sold out of bouncing bear, rather k2 was being sold out of Jon sloan's other shop, Sacred Journey. Nothing Bouncing Bear sold had research chemicals in it, hints why the business was allowed to operate for many years after that, and never were they shut down by authorities, even after the "raid"(robbery). Bouncing Bear was one of the most talented entrepaneurs in American history, and he had an international operation, one of the largest on the planet. He was robbed, defamed, and done wrong by criminals in the U.S. government that violated his religious rights and cheated in order to secure a conviction, even though k2 wasn't illegal when he was arrested for it, and all of the original charges were dropped because they were all bogus. He was only charged with failing to disclose on the k2 that it has jwh-018 in it. Ethnobotanicals are not laced with drugs, rather they are specimens that scientist use to study and learn about medicine, and future drug discovery.[9][10][11] Making false claims that they are is called defamation, and can land a deputy or agent on the losing end of a law suite. Remember evidence, something the srcso doesn't understand(they think they can just make stuff up and push it as fact, and ignore eye witness testimony, making false claims that someones eye witness testimony is "fake news", while covering up their crimes) The SRCSO defamed Bouncing Bear.
