Calea zacatechichi
Crafted from the revered dream ally Calea zacatechichi, this double extract captures both the bitter sesquiterpene lactones and the water-soluble flavonoids traditionally associated with dream clarity and nighttime insight. Though we grow many of our herbs locally, this is one of the few botanicals we currently source from a trusted organic supplier. It is our intention to begin cultivating Calea ourselves in the near future, deepening our relationship with this visionary plant from soil to spirit.
Scientific Profile
Calea zacatechichi contains multiple classes of compounds thought to influence sensory and neurological function:
Germacranolides (calein, calealactone): Bitter sesquiterpene lactones associated with enhanced dream vividness and central nervous stimulation
Flavonoids (including acacetin derivatives): May support relaxation and modulate neural activity during REM sleep
Volatile oils (α-humulene and others): Contribute to the relaxing aroma and respiratory ease
Bitter principles: Stimulate digestive and neurological pathways via the gut-brain axis
The dual-extraction method ensures preservation of both volatile and structural compounds, giving the extract a balanced and reliable potency.
Energetic & Traditional Wisdom
Known as the “Leaf of God” in Indigenous Mexican traditions, Calea is a plant of thresholds and dreams. It is not a sedative in the conventional sense, but a purifier of inner sight—used to clear confusion, receive guidance, and foster intentional dreaming.
Energetically, Calea opens the inner eye while grounding the physical body. Its bitter signature clears stagnation of the senses, allowing for subtle messages and symbolic imagery to rise through the dream body.
How to Use
Take 1–2 dropperfuls in a small amount of water 15–30 minutes before sleep. Use in a quiet setting with clear intention. Best used intermittently—such as during ritual work, dream journaling periods, or when seeking insight through the dreamscape.
Ingredients:
Organic Calea zacatechichi aerial parts (sustainably sourced), organic cane alcohol (65%), distilled water
Safety & Contraindications:
Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. May intensify dreams or emotions. Avoid during periods of insomnia or high emotional sensitivity. Consult your healthcare provider before use if taking antidepressants, sedatives, or managing mental health conditions.
