Salvia divinorum is a member of the mint family which also
includes such familiar herbs as oregano and basil. There are
dozens of Salvia species, but Salvia divinorum is the only one
known to contain the psychoactive diterpenes salvinorin A and B.
Salvia divinorum is a very rare plant, being found in only a few
ravine locations in the Sierra Mazateca mountains of Mexico. A
sacred plant, used by the Mazatec indians, revered for it's
hallucinogenic effects.
The primary psychoactive constituent is salvinorin (a bicyclic diterpene
with formula C23H28O8). This substance was unknown until recently and is
still not well understood. How Salvia's chemistry works is still a
mystery. Natives of Oaxaca Mexico used Lady Salvia for centuries for
healing patients and divination and now many people in the modern world
are discovering its benefits and uses.
Basically Salvia Divinorum is a very strong psychoactive agent
that should be used with the utmost respect for purposes of
divination and higher learning. It will put you in touch with
another world and give you a great insight into your inner-self
but should never be abused. This information is taken from
sagewisdom.org and is written by world expert Daniel Siebert. He
also offers an in depth users guide which is being constanly
udated. I recommend that anybody considering the use of
Salvia Divinorum should read this guide which is available
