Calea ternifolia
Plante mésoaméricaine utilisée par les Maya chontal pour améliorer les rêves et divination, avec une activité oneiroghénique actuelle.
Calea zacatechichi (Calea ternifolia) is a Mesoamerican plant traditionally used by the Chontal Maya for dream enhancement and divination. Modern research suggests oneirogenic activity, likely mediated by its bitter sesquiterpene lactones and flavonoids, which may modulate serotonergic and GABAergic pathways. It is also employed as a mild sedative, anxiolytic, and digestive bitter tonic.
The oneirogenic effects of Calea zacatechichi are attributed to its sesquiterpene lactones (e.g., caleicines, caleochromene) which may act as partial agonists at 5-HT2A receptors, enhancing dream vividness and recall. The bitter principles stimulate orosensory and gastric bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs), triggering vagal reflexes that increase digestive secretions and appetite. Additionally, flavonoids and other compounds exhibit mild sedative and anxiolytic properties, possibly via modulation of GABA-A receptors and inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO).
