African Dream Root (5 grams)
Native to South Africa, Silene capensis has served as a catalyst for deep and meaningful dreams since antiquity. The fascinating plant also helps to promote sleep readiness and boost sleep function—setting the stage for vivid dreams to occur. Simply process the dream herb, place it into capsules, and get ready to explore the dreamscape.
Silene Capensis: The African root for deep sleep and lucid dreams
Originating from the Eastern Cape of South Africa, silene capensis has long been used by the indigenous Xhosa tribe during spiritual, shamanistic rituals. It is also commonly known in the West as Gunpowder Plant, Wild Tobacco and African Dream Root.
Traditionally, the root is reputed to induce vivid and sometimes lucid dreams that are remembered upon waking. This is why it is considered a sacred herb by the Xhosa people, and is widely used by shamans to guide their people. However, inducing lucid dreaming is a secondary effect, and only a selected few are said to be given this experience.
Effects
The main effect that everyone taking silene capensis will receive is an improved quality of sleep. Those who take this regularly will find they wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. It can also have you waking up earlier, only needing 6 hours sleep to fully rejuvenate – 6 hours is seen as the healthiest amount of time to sleep by general scientific consensus.
Silene capensis can induce vivid and much more memorable dreams when used; but this is much rarer and will only effect some people. It can also induce a stimulating effect in some users, giving them even extra energy upon waking – but this is anecdotal.
Preparation and dosage
Traditionally, the dried root of silene capensis was pulverized into water to create a white foam. This foam was then ingested before sleeping. Because this has always historically been the way silene capensis has been consumed, most places across the internet will recommend you do the same. We have found that the best way to take it is to grind it into a powder and place it in capsules for direct consumption. This is a much more efficient way of administering and absorbing the dose.
When creating tablets, it‘s best to consume 500mg – 3g a day, during the course of a few days. It has been reported that it might take a few days for effects to be felt.
It is also worth noting that when taking silene capensis for the first time, you will want to start at 500mg, or possibly even less, until you have gotten used to it. Also, the effects don’t necessarily increase with higher dosages, for this reason, the most standard dose tends to be 1g of powder.
Chemical Compounds
The active ingredient of silene capensis is thought to be triterpenoid saponins. These not only effect the sleep, but are also known to be a viral inhibitor, an antioxidant and reduce cholesterol.
The exact chemical composition of silene capensis is still under investigation and very little research has done into its active ingredients.

Mode de préparation à revoir !
Flemme ! C'est le mot que cette racine m'a inspirée, il faut tout d'abord broyer la racine, en broyer au moins 4 ou 5 pour réussir à faire suffisamment de poudre, il faut entre 250 et 300 mg, donc veuillez vous munir d'un bon mortier et pillon car celui en bois que j'avais n'etait pas assez rigide pour broyer convenablement, (cela m'a pris beaucoup plus de temps) ensuite trier les gros copeaux de la poudre, une fois les racines pillées et bien je m'aperçois qu'on a plus de copeaux que de poudre finalement.
Je l'ai consommé de 2 manières, la 1ere méthode en versant la poudre dans 75% d'eau dans un bocal, le sport commence ! il faut shaker rapidement (faites attention que votre bocal soit bien perméable et que l'eau ne traverse pas sinon on en fout partout ! ;-) ) shaker, shaker et shaker attendre que la mousse se forme, prendre une cuillère ou une paille et boire la mousse (le temps que j'ouvre le bocal la mousse s'etait déjà évaporée...) et reshaker encore et reboire ! Franchement, j'ai même pas tout bu, ça m'a fatigué plus qu'autre chose. :-D et au passage, rêve lucide?? Je m'interroge encore sur les effets.
Donc j'ai opté pour la 2eme méthode, 300 mg en gellule à prendre avant de dormir, veillez à ce que votre estomac soit vide pour ressentir les effets. Mis apart que j'ai eu plus de facilités à me réveiller le lendemain matin et que je me suis réveillée plus tôt, j'ai pas vraiment trouvé qu'il y'avait une difference au niveau de mes rêves.
J'aurais préféré l'acheter déjà mixée.
Zu empfehlen
Wirkt bei mir fast wie beschrieben, erste Wirkung in der zweiten Nacht, mehr Träume in Erinnerung, sehr zusammenhängende und reale Träume, bisher zwei luzide Träume.
Anwendung: jeden Abend ein ca. 2 cm langes Stück Wurzel fein zerkaut.
Great quality
More vivid dreams and even some lucid ones.
Good quality
Good quality 100% reccomend
No noto nada
Quizás haya que tomarlo durante varios días, el efecto de tomarlo solo una noche o de forma discontinuada es nulo
Do not expect much
I tried in total 15 gr. Weeks I drank the white foam. It is a lot of work to get a little foam and it disappears in matter of seconds. To drink this till your full takes hours. I tried different methods. After a view days my dreams where a bit more intense so 2 stars max.
It seems to be working
I don't have a mortar so I had to crush it in small pieces, put it in a grinder and ingest the tiny pieces of root. I only tried it last night but it seems to be working, I noticed difference and clarity in my dreams but it's too early to say if it's some kind of placebo effect
Angenehme Abwechslung
Beim ersten mal lange gebraucht zum einschlafen haben mit 2g angefangen.
Beim 2. Mal mit selber dosis entspannende Wirkung
Not for me
Not for me, didnt do anything. But i haven`t recalled a dream in 6 years (cause of weed?)
