Product Background
Silene Capensis, which originates from the Eastern Cape of South Africa, has long been used by the indigenous Xhosa tribe in spiritual and shamanistic rituals. It is also commonly known in the West as the Gunpowder Plant, Wild Tobacco or African Dream Root.
Traditionally, the root is said to induce vivid, sometimes lucid, dreams that are remembered upon waking. This is why the Xhosa people consider it a sacred herb, widely used by shamans to guide their people. However, lucid dreaming is only a secondary effect and is said to be experienced by only a select few.
Effects
The main effect of taking Silene capensis is improved sleep quality. Those who take it regularly will find that they wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. It may also cause you to wake up earlier, needing only six hours’ sleep to feel fully rejuvenated – six hours is generally considered the healthiest amount of sleep.
Silene capensis can induce vivid and memorable dreams, but this is rare and only affects some people. Some users may also experience a stimulating effect, giving them extra energy upon waking, but this is anecdotal.
Preparation and Dosage
Traditionally, the dried root of Silene capensis was pulverised and mixed with water to create a white foam. This foam was then ingested before sleeping. As this has always been the traditional way of consuming silene capensis, most sources online will recommend doing the same. However, we have found that consuming it in capsules for direct consumption is the most effective method. This is a much more efficient way of administering and absorbing the dose.
When consuming capsules, it is best to take 500 mg–3 g a day over a few days. It has been reported that it may take a few days to feel the effects.
When taking Silene Capensis for the first time, it is advisable to start with 500 mg or less until you are accustomed to it. The effects do not necessarily increase with higher dosages; for this reason, the standard dose tends to be 1 g of powder.
