Sinicuichi is a plant that has been used by shamans since Aztec times as a means of feeling more connected to the spiritual world. Read on to find out how this plant from America came to be known as"Elixir of the Sun" & "The Sun Opener".
What is Sinicuichi
Sinicuichi is a plant from the Loosestrife family, Lythraceae. Sinicuichi,under the Latin name Heimia salicifolia, is native to the Americas. The plant has spread across both North and South America, from the southwest in the United States to Argentina.
The indigenous tribes consider Sinicuichi a sacred plant with supernatural powers. They see the leaves as the means to find mental peace, relive past events and experience them as if they were 'really' happening.
The leaves of the plant contain several alkaloids, including cryogenin (vertine), sinicuichin (lypholin), heimine and a number of others. Cryogenin is considered the main psychoactive component.
The effects of Sinicuichi
The heard effects of Sinicuichi further explain the names 'Sun Opener' & 'Elixir of the Sun'. One of the effects is said to be a psychedelic yellow tint in vision, which shamans say is the knowledge of the sun absorbed in the drink. Other possible effects would be a relaxed or euphoric feeling. The drug is also supposed to increase the chances of lucid dreams; dreams in which you gain control. People who consume this herb also compare it to wild dagga because of its spiritual and mind-opening effects.
Preparing Sinicuichi tea
Sinicuichi leaves have been used for centuries in many different ways. These include making a salve from the leaves or smoking them. The most common method, however, is making a Sinicuichi tea. Below, we describe how you can brew your own elixir of the sun:
- Collect 10 grams of shredded Sinicuichi leaves in an airtight jar.
- Pour in a cup of hot water and let it steep for about 10 minutes.
- Close the pot and leave it in the sun for a whole day.
- A day later, the tea is ready to drink, you just need to strain it.
The effects of Sinicuichi tea are experienced within 20 minutes of drinking the brew and disappear after about 2 hours.
Tip: add a flavoured tea bag and enrich the flavour of your tea!
