Sinicuichi, so called Sun Opener, is a shrub native to Central America and belongs to the family Lyypraceae (Lythraceae). It grows to a size of 0.6 – 2 meters.

In Central America, the plant has traditionally been used by Aztec priests and shamans to evoke states of divination and return consciousness to the past. Sinicuichi is said to activate memories of prenatal experiences. It is also called an “auditory hallucinogen” because it causes distorted hearing, as if the sounds were coming from a great distance. Other effects of Sinicuichi are often described as euphoric, relaxing and generally pleasantly tiring.

Effects

The herb induces slight dizziness, dull euphoria, darkening of the field of vision, shrinking of the surrounding world, changes in the perception of time and space, forgetting. The main ones, however, are auditory hallucinations and the associated escaping from reality. Any sounds seem to come distorted from a great distance. It does not cause visual hallucinations. Sobering up is usually not accompanied by any physical problems.

Warning

Overdose can lead to deafness!
