Mimosa Hostilis / Jurema Recipe

Acacia/Mimosa  Hostilis, "Acacia/Mimosa  Tenuiflora", or simply Jurema is the name of a perennial tree that is grown in the wild and cultivated in special farms from the northern Brazil to southern Mexico. It is maybe the most common Ayahuasca Analog (accompanied by Syrian Rue) used around the world by non-traditional ayahuasca drinkers.


Jurema 'root bark' contains ~1% DMT (which is concidered a high amount) while Syrian rue contains 3 MAOI's.


Methods of consumption:


A] Traditional Method:

  1. Boil 7-14grams of jurema rootbark peaces for 3hours on mid-heat and strain. 
  2. Boil 3-4grams of Syrian Rue for 30min. and strain.

NOTE: You can lightly boil the strained liquids to bring the amount of liquid down to a more drinkable amount as the beverages are fairly unpleasant. 


Consume the Syrian rue liquid 20-30min before the Jurema one.
The experience's onset will be apparent within after the Jurema liquid 30-90min.


B] Modern Improvements on the traditional brew:


**Add lemon juice or vinegar to your brew to lower Ph.


**Buy powdered (shredded is superior) root bark, or powder it your self in a coffee grinder. Sifted powder is cleaner and more potent as useless fiber material is removed.. So newbie doses must be reduced to 5-8grams. Also keep in mind that powdered bark can be brewed for 1-2 hours and will be potent enough.


***When the strained mimosa has been left to sit for long enough, sediment will form on the bottom of the solution. Tip most of the water into another container, leaving behind sediment, and a small amount of water. This works well especially with good amounts of vinegar. 


**Your Jurema solution contains 16% of tannings. The tannings are NOT psychoactive and are harsh to digest and cause nausea/vomiting.These are 2 Tek's to get rid of them:


1) When you have strained Jurema solution, poach an egg or two discarding the yellows. Then place it into your solution of mimosa and boil lightly for a few min's. At this point strain the whites and keep the solution.. Now all the tannins have binded to the protein whites and left the brew. This is the best tannin removal Tek that shows no decrease in potency.


2) Gelatin can be used for the same purpose (since its basically protein):
 Boil a small amount of gelatin in a small amount of water. Add SLOWLY to warm mimosa brew and watch the brew go cloudy (once that happens STOP ADDING GELATIN-WATER). The solution within half an hour+ should be really clear and there should be gelatin on the bottom of your container. Strain the gelatin and keep this clear liquid. Note: FOR THIS TO WORK THE JUREMA SOLUTION MUST BE ACIDIC (add a good amount of lemon juice or vinegar).


NOTE: When removing sediment and purifying your solution you are also going to loose some DMT in the process. Don't let this turn you off as you can just use a little extra mimosa if the decrease in potency is that distinct. It is worth the small difference.

Entheogens ~Basic introduction

Entheogen comes from the Greek word 'Ενθεογενή'. Analyzing this word we can see what it stands for:


Εν(In/Inside) + θεο(God) + γενη(Born). The idea is that the entheogenic experience leads one to experience a divine' bond with all living things, keeping one in touch with only the most delicate and meaningful side of his/her personality and the external world.


 A lot of confusion has been spread through out the media though. People have been lead to believe that entheogens create distortion confusion or fear, that can be associated with a deep delirium. This is clearly not the case. A true entheogenic experience will actually be very clarifying and can be described as 'stepping out of the distortional delirium ones mind usually is in'. Though LSD is an entheogen and definitely  the most well known one, there are other alternatives that have been used for much longer(thousands of years) and may be much more suitable for someone that is starting his/her journey into the world of entheogens. An entheogenic is a psychedelic, but I psychedelic is not allways an entheogen. The most strong entheogen I know of is found in HBWR. Its most active compound is LSA a natural occuring cousin of LSD) and it does not even cause real hallucinations.

[there will be more on that on another post devoted to LSA..] 



 While an entheogenic experience is going on, the individual can experience total harmony, extreme insight and understanding of ones self. It is common for people to conflict with their personal issues and overcome them. It is also very often at a time like this that many people have overcome long-term problems and meaningless tension found present in their personal relationships, by finaly aknowleding their bad habits. This is why entheogens like LSD have been studied a lot and proved to show great potentials in clinical psychiatry and personal improvement.




Here is a list of just some substances/botanicals that have been widely accepted as entheogens:


Cacti like 'San Pedro' and 'Peyote' - that contain mescaline.

Psilocybin mushrooms - that contain psilocin and psilocybin.

Morning Glories, Ololiuqui and Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds -that contain LSA

Ayahuasca remedies and its analogs - that contain DMT(N,N-Dimethyltryptamine)

LSD - a semi-synthetic chemical created by Albert Hofmann.


Some may say that this list is too small, but I only wanted to put in the most acceptable for their safety and value. I will cover various other psychedelics in following posts..
