Traditional uses

Synaptolepis kirkii is an herbal oneirogen: a dream herb! It is used by the Zulus tribe to produce clear visions during periods of trance. It is a healing plant of the mind. Dreams induced under his influence are wise types and allow us to see clearly when the real situation is complex... It relieves anxiety, prevents impatience. It is called empathogenic. It is consumed in the evening because it helps not only to dream lucidly, but to fall asleep peacefully. It is a plant whose effects increase with the number of consecutive days of use. Thus, the dream experience unfolds little by little, night by night, and can persist for weeks even after finishing its use.

It contains kirkinin, a neurotrophin that induces the development and function of neurons: it is therefore considered as a brain tonic!

Traditionally, a small amount of root powder is consumed in the form of a hot tea, before bedtime.

It is also used agains snakebites and for the treatment of epilepsy.
