The Plant:
Syrian Rue (Peganum harmala) is a perennial plant which dies back each winter only to grow back from its strong roots each spring. It hails from the Mediterranean and Middle-East, where it survives in climates which range from sweltering desert heat to freezing winters with a dusting of snow.
The History:
Around 60 CE Syrian Rue was described by Dioscorides in his botanical De materia medica. According to him: ‘wild rue mixed with honey, wine, chicken gall, saffron and fennel juice is useful for weak vision.’ Dioscorides equated Syrian Rue with “moly”, the mythic herb that Hermes brought to Odysseus. It protected him from the spell of Circe, a witch who had transformed his comrades into swine.
Dioscorides already noted that the plant was used to ward off the evil eye. Another folk name of Syrian Rue was Besasa or ‘plant of Bes’. Bes is an ancient Egyptian dwarf-god that protects people against all kinds of evil. Small statues of Bes were fumigated with Syrian Rue seeds. Up until the present day, the burning of harmala seeds remains a popular custom in the Near East and North Africa.
Syrian Rue is further known as an aphrodisiac. Pregnant women, however, shouldn’t take it as it also has abortifacient effects. The seeds induce contraction of the muscles in the uterus. For this reason, they were also applied to induce abortions, to induce labour, and to promote menstruation.
The Chemistry:
Syrian Rue plants contain an array of alkaloids which can interact with the human body and mind. The most prominent of these alkaloids have been named in honour of the Peganum harmala plant as Harmine, Harmaline, and Tetrahydroharmine. These alkaloids also occur in the plants used for the preparation of the Ayahuasca drink, such as Banisteriopsis caapi.
These alkaloids act as selective Monoamine Oxidase A (MAO-A) inhibitors, this shifts the way monoamines such as DMT and many medications are broken down and contributes greatly to the psychedelic effects of Syrian Rue.

Salvia divinorum, commonly known as "salvia," is a unique and potent psychoactive plant native to the cloud forests of Mexico. Revered by indigenous cultures for centuries, it is a member of the mint family and stands out for its extraordinary psychedelic properties. The plant contains the active compound salvinorin A, one of the most potent naturally occurring hallucinogens known to science. When consumed, typically by smoking or chewing the leaves, it induces intense but short-lived altered states of consciousness. The effects of Salvia divinorum are rapid and intense, often described as a rollercoaster journey through surreal dimensions. Users commonly report vivid visual and auditory hallucinations, a profound disconnection from reality, and a strong sense of entering otherworldly realms. These experiences usually last only a few minutes, making it unique among psychedelics for its brevity. Despite its powerful effects, Salvia divinorum has not gained the same popularity as other psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin mushrooms. It is legal in South Africa but restricted or banned in some other countries due to concerns about its safety and potential for misuse. Researchers continue to study this enigmatic plant to better understand its psychoactive properties and its potential applications in mental health and consciousness exploration.

~10 Seeds per Gram The Plant: The Hawaiian Baby Woodrose (Argyreia nervosa), also known as the Elephant Creeper, is a large perennial vine which can grow up to a length of around 10 metres. It has no tendrils or clinging roots to help it climb, so the vines wrap themselves around nearby trees and structures in order to continue growing ever higher. Throughout summer they produce an abundance of delicate purple flowers which feed numerous insect species. The History: Originally from the Indian subcontinent where it is known as Vidhara (विधारा) or Adhoguda (अधोगुडा), it was used for many centuries in gardens due to its beauty, with some reports of usage in Ayurvedic medicine alongside other plants in the same family. It was however the figurative ugly duckling of this family of plants, as the other members saw much more widespread usage in shamanic rituals, whereas Argyreia nervosa only came to prominence in the 1960-70’s after the chemical composition of the seeds were determined to contain Lysergic Acid Amides. Since then, Hawaiian Baby Woodrose has seen a large uptake in usage and popularity not only as a decorative vine, but also for its spiritual and psychedelic value. The Chemistry: The Hawaiian Baby Woodrose is known to produce several compounds of medical interest, the foremost of them being the various Ergolines present in the plant’s seeds. Among these are several Lysergic Acid Amides (similar in chemical structure to the illicit drug LSD) - which are notable for their psychedelic and hallucinogenic properties when ingested. These substances act upon the serotonin 5-HT2A receptors in the brain to activate its action, which causes the neurons in which these receptors are present to become more excitable without necessarily switching them on or off. -

The cream induces pupping when applied to the axillary buds, apical meristems, or the areoles of cacti. The cream takes 1 to 10 weeks to produce pups in actively growing plants. Pupping is induced around 90% of the time when applied correctly. Pupping cream is shelf-stable and does not need to be stored in a refrigerator.
