I made this blog to share my knowledge and information I have gathered about psychoactive substances and the interesting history they have with mankind.. If you are interested in learning more about the wonderful world of the mushrooms and the many different psychoactive plants that exist in nature and the biochemical pathway they follow, the effect they have on the human brain you will find this blog helpful. Note though I do not recommend nor promote the use of substances that are illegal by law in your state or country. This blog is meant to inform you on the subject and nothing more.
I will update the blog multiple times a week and post about a specific plant or other hallucogenic. We're going to start off this week with Mimosa Hostilla. If you have any questions or recommendations on what to write about please let me know. I have acces to a library full of information and I would love to share it with other people who share this hobby.
Mimosa Hostilla
BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Family : Fabaceae
Genus :Mimosa
Species :tenuiflora
Mimosa hostilla, is a evergreen tree or shrub native to the northeastern region of Brazil and found as far north as southern Mexico. It is most often found in lower altitudes, but it can be found as high as 1 km.
The Mayans of Mexico have used Mimosa Hostilla bark to treat lesions of the skin for over a thousand years.
Powdered Mimosa Hostilla bark contains large amounts (16%) of biomolecules , which act as an astringent making the skin stop bleeding. This helps protect the body from infection, while the skin builds new protective tissue.
Biomolecules in the bark diminish capillary permeability.It contains antioxidant flavonoids.
It is now used in commercial hair and skin products that claim to rejuvenate skin. The bark is known to be rich in many different organic molecules that seem to have a beneficial effect on the skin and hair.
Mimosa Hostilla is an entheogen known as Jurema. Mimosa hostilla root bark has been recently shown to have a Dimethyltryptamine content of about 1%. The stem bark has about 0.03% DMT. The bark is the part of the tree traditionally used in Brazil in a brew also called Jurema or Yurema. At the same time the traditional Western Amazonian sacrament Ayahuasca is brewed from indigenous ayahuasca vines.
Mimosa Hostilla is different when it comes to the pharmacological understanding of how DMT from the plant is rendered orally active as an entheogen.. If MAOI is neither present in the plant nor added to the mixture, the enzyme MAO will break apart DMT in the human gut, preventing the active molecule from entering the blood stream leading to the brain. This means if the brew is consumed consisting of only Mimosa Hostilla rootbark it should not be active but it is. This question still has to be answered but some studies have shown progress into this mystery.
