It is native to Mexico and Central America.〔 Its English language common names include Thepelakano (leaves of god), bitter-grass, Mexican calea,〔 and dream herb.〔Simonienko, K., et al. (2013). (Psychoactive plant species – actual list of plants prohibited in Poland. ) ''Psychiatria Polska'' XLVII(3), 499–508.〕 It is used in traditional medicine and ritual in its native range.〔Ferraz, A., et al. (2009). (Pharmacological and genotoxic evaluation of ''Calea clematidea'' and ''Calea uniflora''. ) ''Latin American Journal of Pharmacy'' 28(6), 858-62.()〕 ==Uses== In Mexico the plant is used as an herbal remedy for dysentery and fever.〔 The Zoque Popoluca people call the plant ''tam huñi'' ("bitter gum") and use it to treat diarrhea and asthma, and the Mixe people know it as ''poop taam ujts'' ("white bitter herb") and use it for stomachache and fever.〔Leonti, M., et al. (2003). (Antiquity of medicinal plant usage in two Macro-Mayan ethnic groups (Mexico). ) ''Journal of Ethnopharmacology'' 88(2), 119-24.〕 The Chontal people of Oaxaca reportedly use the plant, known locally as ''thle-pela-kano'', during divination. Isolated reports describe rituals that involve smoking a plant believed to be this species, drinking it as a tea, and placing it under a pillow to induce divinatory dreams. ''Zacatechichi'', the former species name, is a Nahuatl word meaning "bitter grass".〔Díaz, J. L. (1979). (Ethnopharmacology and taxonomy of Mexican psychodysleptic plants. ) ''J Psychedelic Drugs'' 11(1-2), 71–101.〕 Users take the plant to help them remember their dreams; side effects include hallucinations, nausea, and vomiting.〔 While quite bitter if brewed in hot water, the bitterness can be considerably masked by brewing with Osmanthus flowers, which have a compatible scent profile. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calea ternifolia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
