Mexican Dream Herb 1/4oz
Mexican Dream Herb is a traditional oneirogenic (dream-enhancing) plant native to Mexico and Central America. Known botanically as Calea zacatechichi, it has been used historically by the Chontal people of Oaxaca for visionary dreaming, divination, and spiritual insight.
Its taste is famously bitter — intensely so — which in many traditions is seen as part of its power. Bitter plants are often associated with clearing, opening, and cutting through illusion. Mexican Dream Herb carries an energy of veils thinning and messages becoming clearer.
This is a plant of the night, of threshold spaces, and of the dream realm.

🔮 Ways to Use
Dream Tea
Steep a small amount (1-3 grams) in hot water for 10–15 minutes. Drink 30–60 minutes before sleep. Often combined with mint or chamomile to soften the bitterness.
Tincture
Herbalists may prepare alcohol tinctures for more concentrated dosing. This method reduces the need to consume large amounts of the bitter tea.
Smoke Offering
Burn small amounts on charcoal or blend into herbal smoke mixtures for dream altar offerings. (Ensure proper ventilation.)
Spell Jars & Dream Sachets
Add to dream pillows, sachets, or spell jars focused on intuition, prophecy, or clarity.

Place dried leaves on an ancestor altar or spirit communication space when seeking dream guidance.

Write a question on paper, place beneath your pillow with the herb in a sachet, and set intention before sleep.
