The product, in detail
African Dream Root
Inside the jar is pale, finely ground Synaptolepis kirkii root. The preparation calls for 300–600mg in hot water for about 5 minutes. It is also known as uvuma-omhlope.
The plant
The name on this jar is Synaptolepis kirkii. In the wild it is a woody climber with leathery green leaves, small pale flowers and orange fruit. The part used here is below ground: the root, dried and ground until it becomes the soft ivory-coloured powder in the jar.
At 300–600mg per cup, the 50g jar makes many preparations.
Why it is known
Uvuma-omhlope is remembered for its place in traditional dream and ancestor work. That history is what gives African Dream Root its name, and why people still seek out this pale root.
Prepare the tea before bed and leave a notebook nearby for the morning. This tradition is part of why people seek out the root, although individual experiences vary.
The cup
Weigh 300–600mg of the powder, add very hot water and leave it to steep for about five minutes. Drink it roughly an hour before bed.
50g jar
50g · finely ground root
For an evening tea, weighed one cup at a time.
