Uvuma-Omhlope (Synaptolepis kirkii)
How to Use – Dried Root Preparation
-
Shave or crush a small piece of dried root (approx. ½ teaspoon)
-
Place in a jar or bowl with warm water
-
Whisk or stir until frothy (foam is key in traditional use)
-
Sip or swish the foam (some traditions spit, others swallow a small amount)
-
Best taken early morning or before bed on an empty stomach
Note: You don’t need a full decoction—foam is traditionally seen as the “medicine.”
For a single serving of Uvuma-omhlope tea using dried root, here’s a gentle and respectful guideline:
- Uvuma-Omhlope Tea Use ½ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of finely shaved or crushed dried root (approx. 1–2 grams)
- Add to 1 cup (250 ml) of water
- Simmer gently (don’t boil hard) for 10–20 minutes Strain and sip slowly before bed or during quiet time
🌙 Notes:
- Start on the low end (½ tsp)—this is a spiritually active root, and subtle is often more powerful
- Effects may include enhanced dreams, intuitive insight, or emotional release
- Best taken in a quiet, intentional space (no screen time afterward helps deepen the experience)
