The most common use of these nuts (seeds) is in the ritual chewing of the "betel-quid." This habit is very widespread throughout Asia, India and the Pacific, making it one of the most popular stimulants in the world. Generally the the betel-quid is a small morsel consisting of a quarter betel seed (cushed), a pinch of lime, spices like cardamom or nutmeg for flavour all wrapped in a betel leaf (Piper betle). On some Pacific Islands it is traditional for the men to also add tobacco into the package. This quid is chewed slowly over several hours, causing mild stimulation and a feeling of wellibeing.

UNLIKE OUR OTHER SEEDS, THESE ARE NOT VIABLE.

These seeds and pods are picked from the same single pond on the small farm in Nepal that the Blue Lotus petals and stamens are from. They have a rich blue hue, and are completely organic. These seeds have even been known to sprout years after they have been picked, but are most often used along with their pods to make seed tinctures.

The Trichocererus bridgesii cactus has a long established history of use in the Shamanic rituals in the Andes. It has rather large spines, notchless ribs and 2 unique terpenoid compounds.  This is a VERY hardy cactus that is very fast-growing, easy to root and is cold hardy to at least 25 degrees Fahrenheit. These seeds will sprout about many must-have sacred cacti for collectors.  Follow the same instructions for any other cactus to sprout and grow these desert beauties.

Close cousin to the Trichocereus pachanoi, Trichocereus peruvianus, Trichocereus bridgesii.

Peruvian Torch (Trichocereus Peruvianus) is probably the best-known cactus of this group of cactii and is a fast grower providing beautiful blossoms, doubling its size each year!  It's said to have a much higher alkaloid content than San Pedro as well. To cultivate, simply place the seeds on top of a sandy soil, easily found at any local nursery or Home Depot.  Then, simply sprinkle a light layer of soil over the top of that to cover the seeds.  Give your cactus seeds only shaded or fluorescent light only for the first 6-12 months.  After that, there's no way to give these cacti too much sun!  Although deserts are known to be dry,  the humidity for germination should be around 70-80 % and can easily be accomplished by creating a small terrarium.

There is confirmed alkaloid content in this cactus, but only unconfirmed reports of indigenous people utilizing it as a visionary plant. It is very popular for collectors and this seed pack provides the potential for about 10 plants.

These giant seeds have a long history as a powerful vivid dream inducer when mixed in a pipe with tobacco or even when mixed with your favorite herb. The plant has a long history and appears naturally from near Durban northwards throughout tropical Africa and into India, Asia and Australia.

The extraodinarily large seeds are often carried or worn on necklaces and pendants as lucky charms, but since Africa is a culture that believes that contact with their ancestors comes through dreams, they have found and cultivated plants that help achieve this spiritual connection, and this is one of them.

The meditational qualities of Holy Basil (Tulsi) and the authentic high altitude, aged Patchouli we offer, when ground and made into a tea or a smoke, are widely popular amidst Sadhus (mendicants) and is used used for enhancing the dreams, meditations and calming the spirit.
