Helichrysum odoratissmum imphepho dried herb flowers said to induce deep trance states  and visions.
 
Suggested that compounds in the plant may have a “psychotropic effect… similar to cannabinoids.”
 
Within minutes after smoking imphepho, an overwhelming sense of relaxation and stupor takes hold.  After this, I seem to be able to enter a dream state, but with all of the clarity of normal consciousness intact.
 
  It is in this state that the African shamans say they can communicate with the spirit world and receive blessings and the wisdom of their ancestors. 
 
 There is an interesting feeling of physical paralyzation when smoking imphepho, as if the mind is leaving the body and entering the dream state while still completely coherent.  
 
This is a very unique and powerful dream herb in that it can bring you in to a dream state in a very short period of time
 
The most effective and common method of using imphepho is to smoke the dried herbage, either on its own or as part of a smoking blend.  When the smoke vapors are directly inhaled, the effects are noticeable within minutes, so don’t smoke imphepho unless you are ready to enter a deep state of dreaming!
