Empty Stomach
Traditionally, Silene undulata was consumed in the morning on an empty stomach to allow the alkaloids to be absorbed into the body. Following an hour or so, it was then recommended to eat. The effects will be felt at night during sleeping. Dreams will become colorful and vibrant. This is how the shamans would commune with the world of the spirits and ancestors to receive guidance. African dreamherb has also been used in the past as a divination tool to foretell of the future and to support the tribe in maintaining a connection with the world of the unseen and invisible.
The alkaloids build up in the system. Therefore drinking the tea over multiple days will enhance the effects, particularly for individuals who are less sensitive.
