What is Salvia?
Salvia divinorum is a plant species that has been used by the indigenous population of Mexico for thousands of years, primarily for spiritual and healing purposes. Salvia has become increasingly popular in the Western world in recent years due to its psychoactive effects. Salvia divinorum belongs to the mint family and has approximately 900 species. Salvia is the largest genus within the Sage family. Salvia is recognizable by its bright leaves, hollow square stems, and white and/or purple flowers. Salvia divinorum was first discovered in Oaxaca, Mexico. It grows in large clusters and usually reaches a length of about 90 centimeters. Salvia comes from the Latin word 'salvere,' which means 'to feel better' or 'to be healthy,' due to its potential healing properties.
The Mazatec people chewed on Salvia leaves or made tea from them to ingest the active compound Salvinorin A. The Divinorum family of Salvia contains this active compound, which is responsible for the psychoactive effects of Salvia. The Mazatec people used Salvia for medicinal and religious purposes, as well as to explore profound visions. Salvia was also used by the Mazatec people as a means to relive childhood memories or to 'cleanse' people's souls.
How is Salvia used?
Salvia can be consumed in various ways. The most popular method of use is smoking the dried leaves. To smoke Salvia, the dried leaves are crushed and smoked in a pipe, bong, or water pipe. Salvia can also be chewed, although this is less common. The leaves are chewed until they become soft and then held in the mouth. Another way to consume Salvia is by making it into tea. The dried leaves are boiled in water and then filtered. The tea can be sweetened with sugar or honey. The effects take longer to onset compared to smoking and can last for several hours.
What are the effects of Salvia?
The effects of Salvia can be very intense and vary depending on the dosage and the method of ingestion. Small doses can cause mild euphoria, increased perception, and colorful visions, while larger doses can lead to intense hallucinations, disorientation, and loss of contact with reality. The effects usually occur within seconds to minutes after ingestion and can last for several minutes to several hours. Salvia has a short duration of action, with most effects subsiding within 30 minutes to an hour.
The effects of Salvia can vary, but commonly reported effects include an 'out-of-body experience' accompanied by subtle effects such as uncontrollable laughter, a sense of relaxation, or deep focus. Additionally, auditory effects such as heightened or richer sounds and sensory effects such as altered perception of the environment can occur. Salvia can also cause a sense of disorientation, making it difficult to recognize the surroundings.
How do you dose Salvia?
Dosing Salvia is crucial to achieve the desired effects. Since the effects of Salvia can be very intense, it's important to choose the right dosage. Always start with a small dose and gradually work your way up until you achieve the desired effect. It's also important to use Salvia in a safe environment and under the supervision of an experienced user. The dosage of Salvia can vary depending on the strength of the Salvia, the method of ingestion, and the user's experience.
