Is Salvia Healthy? Probably one of the biggest
concerns, aside from the legality of this herb, of new users of Salvia
Divinorum is if it is healthy or not. Any tobacco product has the ability to
cause cancer. Marijuana can cause cancer and affect the brain. Other drugs that
can be smoked, chewed, or drank are harmful to the human body. It is only logical to wonder just how healthy
using Salvia really is. To this date,
aside from inhaling hot smoke (if you choose to use Salvia this way), which is
not all that good for your lungs, there are not any adverse side effects. Essentially, the only way Salvia can harm
anyone, because it is a mind altering drug, is if you decide to use it while
operating a vehicle of some sort. With that said, it is wise to consider the
health benefits of Salvia.
While the benefits of using
Salvia are not “standard medical practice” it is unfair to this herb not to
consider the self healing properties it has.
Now, this does not refer to healing from some physical ailment, but
rather it refers to your mental and spiritual health. In fact, some studies have stated that Salvia
helps to treat mental patients who are suffering from forms of depression,
anxiety, and even loneliness. Salvia has
been used by many to help them understand their selves and life it self. Even
the Mazateca Shaman, the first ones know to use Salvia, used this herb as a way
to induce visions and gain insight during spiritual healing sessions. Salvia or
the sage of the seers is an herb that has many benefits to ones spiritual and
mental health. Moreover, once these parts of you are healthy and thriving, so
will your physical health respond by being healthier. To fully understand the health benefits of
Salvia, it is wise to consider what Salvia is and what it can do.
Salvia Divinorum is an
herb/plant that originates from Mexico
and has hallucinogenic and/or psychedelic properties. When used for the right
reasons and when you are in the proper state to achieve the affects of it, is
an herb used to induce visions, allow you to become more in touch with nature,
and heighten self perception. While
these are only a few of the affects of using Salvia, they do show how
beneficial this plant can be if used correctly. The right reasons, though
unique to each person, focus on achieving a fuller or deeper sense of self
awareness or seeing the truth of life.
However, you have to be prepared to experience such things and to use
your visions as a way to grow as a person.
If not, your experience with Salvia can be disappointing, scary, or bad.
Just because Salvia has
hallucinogenic properties does not mean it is unhealthy. In a sense, Salvia is just like any other
homeopathic healing method except that it focuses on your health in a deeper
level. A true Salvia experience is one
that will open your eyes to the deepest levels of your self and the world
around you. If this is not a health
benefit, then what is?
