GENERAL NOTES - Heimia salicifolia is a member of the Lythraceae family. - Common names for both the plant and the drink made from it is Sinicuichi or Sun Opener. - In Mexican folk medicine, Sinicuiche is regarded as a narcotic, inebriant, diuretic, and febrifuge. - Sinicuichi was used to make an intoxicating drink. - The leaves were slightly wilted, crushed in water and then allowed to ferment. - The strained liquid was then drunk to induce an altered state consisting of golden tinged vision and acoustic hallucinations. - Heimia salicifolia contains the quinolizidine alkaloids cryogenine, lythrine, heimine, sinicuichine and others. - The main alkaloid is cryogenine and is reported to have anticholinergic and antispasmodic effects. CARE & CULTIVATION - Propagation occurs through cuttings as well as tiny seeds. - The soil must be of a fine consistency. - The seeds are broadcast onto the soil and pressed in gently with a flat object. - The seeds should then be only moistened with a fine mist water sprayer. - The soil should be kept slightly moist until the seeds have germinated - The seedlings do not tolerate direct sunlight. - Only when they have developed their first true leaves can they be placed in the sun and watered thoroughly. - The soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. - When transplanting, be aware that even very young plants develop large root systems - It thrives best in warm, dry zones and does not tolerate frost. MODERN PREPARATION METHOD Step 1: Gather whole plant material at sunset. Wash thoroughly. 25g of plant material is considered to be an effective psychoactive dose. Step 2: Strip 25g of leaves off the branches and soak in fresh cold water for 24 hours. Step 3: Using a large granite mortar and pestle, crush the slightly wet material thoroughly. Step 4: Place the crushed material into a sterilised glass Mason jar and top with alcohol. The amount and type of alcohol to use is at your own direction. Step 5: Place in direct sunlight for 7 days. Shake the jar frequently then open to release any gas build up. It is believed that during this period the Sun will impart its wisdom into the plant. Step 6: Strain all liquid from the plant material using a metal coffee filter, plunger or similar device. Step 7: Transfer the tincture to a dark medicine bottle for later use.
