Dagga Flowers

Wild Dagga Flowers is where all of the sweet nectar is concentrated.  This is also where the active alkaloid called leonurine is concentrated.  Leonurine is partly responsible for the pleasant and relaxing effects of Wild Dagga, but that’s only part of the picture.  Wild Dagga, by nature, is a vasodilator.  This means that it naturally opens pathways inside our bodies, making it easier for our bodies to absorb whatever happens to be blended with the Wild Dagga.  This is likely why Wild Dagga is often mixed with many other herbs; it will literally intensify the effects of anything it’s blended with, and becomes even more apparent when ingested through inhalation.

There’s a great deal of hearsay regarding this ancient, sacred plant, and it could partly be due to its odd name; Dagga.  Dagga, in other cultures, is a slang term for Marijuana.  Also, Wild Dagga seems to often be referred to as a Marijuana substitute.  To be vividly clear, by no means are we comparing the effects of this sacred plant to any illegal substances such as Cannabis and only bring this piece of information up for informational reporting purposes.  Wild Dagga has effects all its own, and needs to comparison to any other substance, legal or illegal.

Having said that, leonurine has proven effects in various casual clinical tests.  From personal scientific tests, we can confirm that this leonurine is more highly concentrated in fresh flowers.  A key fact, though, is that in terms of alkaloid content, the fresh flowers have the most active alkaloids of the entire plant, with fresh leaves at a close second.  Once the flowers or the leaves are dried, the leonurine content does decline by a measurable amount.  It’s still present, but there is no comparison to cultivating your own Wild Dagga for the stunningly beautiful, sweet-tasting orange flowers.
