Salvia divinorum (Latin: sage of the diviners; also called ska maría pastora, seer's sage, yerba de la pastora, magic mint or simply salvia) is a species of plant in the sage genus Salvia, known for its transient psychoactive properties when its leaves, or extracts made from the leaves, are administered by smoking, chewing, or drinking (as a ...
Salvinorin A is the main active psychotropic molecule in Salvia divinorum.Salvinorin A is considered a dissociative hallucinogen. [3] [4]It is structurally distinct from other naturally occurring hallucinogens (such as DMT, psilocybin, and mescaline) because it contains no nitrogen atoms; hence, it is not an alkaloid (and cannot be rendered as a salt), but rather is a terpenoid.

Salvia potentillifolia (salvinorin B, 2352.0 μg/g) [2] Salvia adenocaulon (salvinorin B, 768.8 μg/g) [2] For comparison, the amount of salvinorin A in S. divinorum ranges from 0.89 to 3.70 mg/g. All fractions reported are based on dry mass. [2] Interestingly, the above reported species are not very closely related to S. divinorum. [2]
[21] [22] In addition, it has been stated that "the subjective effects of S. divinorum indicate that salvia disrupts certain facets of consciousness much more than the largely serotonergic hallucinogen [LSD]", and it has been postulated that inhibition of a brain area that is apparently as fundamentally involved in consciousness and higher ...
Salvia divinorum, a dissociative hallucinogenic sage. This is a list of plant species that, when consumed by humans, are known or suspected to produce psychoactive effects: changes in nervous system function that alter perception, mood, consciousness, cognition or behavior.
Salvinorin A, the active hallucinogenic compound found in Salvia divinorum, is capable of inducing loss of awareness. Consumption of salvinorin A can induce synesthesia, in which different sensory modalities are interpreted by different sensory cortices. (For example: seeing sounds, tasting colours.)
Many dream-enhancing plants such as dream herb (Calea zacatechichi) and African dream herb (Entada rheedii), as well as the hallucinogenic diviner's sage (Salvia divinorum), have been used for thousands of years in a form of divination through dreams, called oneiromancy, in which practitioners seek to receive psychic or prophetic information ...
A 2019 large-scale study found that ketamine, Salvia divinorum, and DMT (and other classical psychedelic substances) are linked to near-death experiences. [77] While ketamine, and other endogenous chemicals can be a source for NDE. It can also mimic these NDE and simulate that out of body experiences linked to NDE. [78]
