Tea made with large-ish amounts - e.g. 30 to 40 fresh leaves and associated stems - of Coleus (
Solenostemon scutellaroides) plant material (stems, leaves, flower spikes) is a gentle but impressive mood enhancer and good for muscular and joint pain (based on anecdotal reports). Effects at this dose level could not be described as particularly visionary or psychedelic but have an empathic/entactic aspect. IME there was however a very clear influence on the level of interior imagining on the visual level such that it was filled with images of the leaves, although this may have been a result of time spent close to the plant while harvesting it.
This plant propagates very easily with stem cuttings so you do not have to kill it off if harvesting. Always pop a couple of cuttings into water in case you find a specimen with particularly good effects. Forming a relationship with this plant by propagating and nurturing it may enhance the effects...
As with many plants, some varieties of Coleus may cause an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals.
“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli
