Rivea Corymbosa: A Powerful Plant with Traditional Shamanic Use
Rivea corymbosa is a woody perennial vine that is native to Mexico, but can also be found in other regions such as Cuba and the North American Gulf coast. This fast-growing plant thrives in warm, tropical conditions with moist, wet soil, and loves water and sunlight. Its heart-shaped leaves and tunnel-shaped white flowers make it a beautiful addition to any garden.
Traditional Use
Rivea corymbosa has been used for centuries by indigenous people in Mexico for its shamanic properties. It is believed to have spiritual and healing powers, and is often used in traditional ceremonies to induce altered states of consciousness and connect with the divine.
Scientific Information
While Rivea corymbosa has been used for its psychoactive properties for centuries, there is limited scientific research on its effects. The seeds of the plant contain several psychoactive compounds, including lysergic acid amide (LSA), which is similar in structure to LSD. LSA is known to cause hallucinogenic effects, as well as nausea, vomiting, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure, severe fatigue, and lethargy.
