Mexican Dream Herb (Calea Zacatechichi)

Calea zacatechichi, often referred to as the “Leaf of God,” is a revered plant in indigenous Mexican traditions. It has long been valued for its role in dream-related rituals and inner exploration practices. The Chontal people of Oaxaca are especially known for working with this plant to enhance the clarity and vividness of dreams during sleep states and to receive symbolic messages through dreaming.

Due to its strong traditional association with dreams and visionary states, Calea is considered a classic “dream herb” in ethnobotanical circles. It is also recognized in some traditions for its ability to support deeper self-inquiry during sleep cycles.

Note: In traditional uses, this plant is known for its characteristically strong and bitter flavor, comparable to wormwood. This intense taste is part of its historical profile.
