The African Dream Herb was one of the best kept secrets in Africa, where it has been used by shamans for hundreds if-not thousands of years to experience heightened consciousness while dreaming, leading to remarkably vivid and even predictive dreams. Native shamans and healers have always recognized that this herb connected them to a deeper aspect of themselves and their ancestors which are long gone, but not forgotten.

We will take a closer look at how the herb works, how you can use it safely and what you can expect from it.

Where does it come from and how is it used?

The African Dream Herb comes from the seeds of the Entada rheedii tree, which is native to the South African region and other parts of the world from Australia to Asia. The advantage of the Entada rheedii tree is that it is a perennial plant, which means you only need to plant it once and harvest it for many years to come, which is great news for Avalon Magic Plants visitors who love to garden and produce their own supplements.

The African Dream Herb has shiny, dark dark brown seeds that almost make it look like chocolate. Although flat, any seed can actually grow to the size of an adult hand. The seeds are beautiful and are often worn as pendants or talismans on a chain or anklet. So it’s clear they are not only special in terms of effect, but also dream-like beautiful in appearance.

To experience deeper and more intense dreams, native shamans would dry the seeds of the African dream herb plant and then grind them into an herbal powder.
