In the Amazon many indigenous peoples use bobinsana for its pain relieving, fever reducing and uterine tonic effects. Traditionally Bobinsana is taken by tincture in aguardiente or a strong tea. All parts of the plant are used for healing. Bobinsana is a well-known “plant teacher” sometimes used in conjunction with a psychedelic amazonian brew called “Ayahuasca”. While bobinsana alone is not hallucinogenic, it is considered a plant teacher and is sometimes added to ayahuasca recipes to help the shaman connect to and learn from the plants. It is also used to produce strong lucid dreaming. Among other benefits Bobinsana is said to open the heart and give space for it to heal from intense grief, loss and sadness. Cautions-It is traditionally used as a contraceptive in Peru. While there is no research to confirm this possible action, those seeking to get pregnant should probably avoid this plant. Should not be used during pregnancy or lactation. Otherwise there are no contraindications when used properly. Steep 2-3 teaspoons of herb in 2 cups of hot water for 5-7 minutes. Drink 1 half hour before bed for it dream enhancing qualities. Or you can make a strong tea for its healing benefits by boiling 3-6 teaspoons of herb on low heat in 2-3 cups of water for 10 minutes.
