Silene Capensis (Silene Undulata/African Dream Root)

Silene capensis, otherwise known as Silene undulata or African Dream root, is a plant native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Silene capensis is used by the Xhosa shamans as an oneirogen (dream enhancer) and induces incredibly vivid (and oftentimes lucid) dreams. I’m super excited to now offer this high-quality African Dream Root for sale!

Traditionally, the Xhosa shamans would mix 100-500mg of the powdered root with water and stir vigorously until a froth formed on top of the water. This froth was drunk in the morning. No effects were felt during the day. But come nighttime, the shamans would enter into fantastically vivid and colorful dreamscapes, gaining knowledge and wisdom from their ancestors and otherworldly beings.

Many modern-day Western users of our Silene capensis for sale find that chewing on 100-200mg of the root for 20 minutes in the morning gives them the wonderfully enhanced dreams they are looking for. Users tend to note that the effects build each day they chew on the root.

Silene capensis root is a sacred plant that has been used since time immemorial by the Xhosa and Zulu peoples in the region that is now South Africa.

For the Xhosa, rituals for each stage of a person’s life are incredibly important, establishing a place for the individual in their community. This incredible root was used during the initiation rite for new traditional healers, immersing them in vivid dreams containing prophetic visions and revelations.

Although the traditions and rituals are different, S. capensis was used for similar purposes among the Zulu. Like the Xhosa, it was an important part of the initiation rite of new Zulu shamans.

Serving Size: The standard dose of Silene capensis root is between 100-200mg.

Usage: Our African Dream Root for sale comes in the form of dried whole roots. Grind the roots into powder, whisk with water until frothy, and drink on an empty stomach. Alternatively, brew it as tea, take it in capsules, or chew the root for 20 minutes in the morning, then discard—do not swallow.
