Kratom, aquama, and high-dose vitamin C are potential solutions for getting off opiates and benzodiazepines. Breaking addictive cycles requires a strong desire for change and an energetic shift. Using whole plant extracts rather than isolated compounds can provide a more balanced and effective experience. Amanita is available in various forms, including capsules, sprays, gummies, and chocolates. Microdoses of Amanita range from 0.2 to 2 grams, while low doses range from 2 to 5 grams. Amanita can improve focus, emotional intelligence, and energy levels. Amanita can enhance dream recall and vividness, making it useful for dream enhancement and lucid dreaming. The Dream Herb, Colea zactichichi, is known for its potential to enhance dream recall and vividness. Silean Capensis, Blue Lotus, and Coleus zeylanicus are dream-enhancing herbs that can promote lucid dreaming. Silean Capensis is traditionally consumed in the morning by chewing a small stick of the root, while Blue Lotus is known for its calming and mood-lifting effects. Kanna is a natural antidepressant that works as an SNRI and has immediate effects. It is prescribed in South Africa and is known for its euphoric and mood-boosting properties. Consistency and intention are key when using these plant medicines, and microdosing Amanita is a good place to start for beginners. MN Nice Ethnobotanicals offers a variety of forms for these herbs, including extracts, powders, and gummies, to suit individual preferences.
