Celastrus Seed (Celastrus paniculata)
   |
Celastrus paniculata is a treasured medicinal herb that is revered for its effects on the brain cells and has been used for centuries in Ayurveda for sharpening the memory and increasing intellect. Typically it is used as a cognitive enhancer for those of all ages, but personal experimentation has shown that if it's taken about 1 hour before bedtime, it can also be a powerful aid in achieving lucid dreams, and at a minimum, a great tool to aid in dream recall.
In folk medicine, the seeds are boiled and taken for purification of body and mind through the cleansing of blood. The seeds constitute the drug; they are slightly bitter, and hence used almost always with a natural sweetener like Licorice root (which enhances its effects) or Stevia leaves. To use whole seeds effectively, simply chew 10-12 of them at a time, or steep 1 tsp of seeds in 4 cups of boiling hot water for 3 hours. Then, sweeten to taste, and drink throughout the day to enhance mental capabilities and cognitive thinking brain patterns.
