Datura, ‘Thorn Apple’ or ‘Toloache’ (Datura inoxia) is a mostly night-blooming perennial shrub belonging to the Solanaecea (Nightshade) family. Several varieties of datura have can be found across the globe, often self-seeding in abandoned rubbish piles and barren lots thereby gaining an invasive reputation due to their extremely adaptable nature to variable ecological conditions.
Toloache of the Americas, is reportedly the most significant of all the thorn apple species in regard to its chemical properties and significant role in human civilisations since around 1250 B.C. Excavations of ancient ceremonial sites of the ‘Zuñi Pueblo’ peoples of America’s southwest, showed evidence of them using the seeds for ritual purposes.
Datura as a genus has long been applied as an entheogenic herb, especially in Mexico and the Southwestern desert, playing major roles in native medicine, coming-of-age, and magico-religious rites. However, the undoubted danger as a potent narcotic and poison has never been disputed, even since the earliest of times. Datura is considered so powerful that it must only be handled by those with experienced relation to the plant. Datura is thought by some indigenous peoples to represent the first ‘shaman’ (for lack of a better term) with Creation stories centering the plant, and has been associated with the ‘trickster’ archetype.
Datura is more often known for its toxic reputation, causing insanity and employment for malicious use by sorcerers or brujas. Many practitioners believe datura to be especially dangerous because it gives the users power indiscriminately. The Aztecs supposedly referred to it by the Nahuatl names toloatzin and toloaxihuitl, meaning "the plant with the nodding head," and utilised it for therapeutic purposes, such as poultices for wounds due to its pain-relieving properties.
The Zuñi believe that the plant belongs to the Rain Priest Fraternity and only its members may collect its roots. It is said these priests put the powdered roots into their eyes to commune with the ‘Feathered Kingdom’ at night, and the roots were chewed to ask the dead to mediate with the spirits for rain.
Although written evidence is limited, there are some reports of various Nations using Datura inoxia for deadening pain in minor surgical operations, bone-setting, and cleaning wounds.
Today, some indigenous Mexicans still use datura for hallucinogenic, medicinal, and aphrodisiac purposes, potentially infused into alcoholic beverages such as pulque, tesguino and mescal. However rightly so, datura is ultimately looked upon with respect, timidity, and/or disdain with many believing it has an intimate connection to the lower realms, or dark practices that may appear eerie to some.

WHAT ARE FLOWER ESSENCES?
Flower essences are considered to be a form of vibrational medicine containing the energetic imprint of a flower within the matrix of water, as opposed to herbal extracts which contain active constituents that often have a potent effect on the physical body.
Flower essences are believed to have therapeutic properties that can support emotional and spiritual wellbeing. They are often used as a complementary therapy for support through trialling times in life, especially in cases of dis-ease which may or may not be presenting in the physical body yet are rooted in the spiritual & emotional psyche and your electromagnetic field, making them sometimes harder to shift with biologically acting interventions.
It is commonly thought that flower essences act in a similar way to homeopathic preparations. Whilst this is not entirely untrue, it is a complex topic to unravel. In short, a major difference is homeopathic preparations are prepared via more complex methods and are diluted and potentised 200-fold, meaning homeopathic preparations require more skill and attuned application compared to flower essences which can be safely self-chosen & self-administered without causing detrimental imbalances.
ARE THE FLOWER ESSENCES FROM THE OCCULT COLLECTION SAFE?
Because flower essences DO NOT possess the active phytochemicals responsible for these plants’ sometimes toxic nature, they are safe to consume without risk of physiological side effects or drug interactions. It should be noted that some people are more sensitive than others to vibrational and energetic essences or therapies, so if you are wanting a gentler plant spirit to work with, start with the flowers in the Cottage Collection. The flowers in the Occult Collection have strong energetic & esoteric qualities so please read the descriptions to determine if they are right for you and your intention of use.
Each stock flower essence can be diluted further (instructions on making your Dosage Bottles are on your info-card included with your shipment), and you can adjust your dose amount & frequency however you see fit.
If you would like further direction and/or support, please feel free to book in with Jaynaya for a personalised flower essence consultation here.
PLEASE NOTE: Our stock flower essences DO contain alcohol. When using in drop doses, the amount of alcohol is insignificant (less than is present in a ripe banana), however if you cannot tolerate the smell or are allergic to distilled grape alcohol please avoid use.
