  • Salvia divinorum
    Salvia divinorum is a herbaceous perennial in the Lamiaceae family. The specific name, Salvia divinorum, was given because of its traditional use in divination and healing—it literally translates to "diviner's sage" or "seer's sage."

  • Kratom
    Kratom is a tree native to Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar [Burma], and elsewhere). Its botanical name is Mitragyna speciosa. Kratom is in the same family as the coffee tree (Rubiaceae). The leaves of kratom have been used as an herbal drug from time immemorial by peoples of Southeast Asia. It is used in folk medicine as a stimulant (at low doses), sedative (at high doses), recreational drug, pain killer, medicine for diarrhea, and treatment for opiate addiction.

  • San Pedro Cactus
    San Pedro Cactus is the most common and well known of the Trichocereus. San Pedro Cactus was supposedly named after Saint Peter because it was, like Peter, thought to hold the keys to heaven. San Pedro Cactus has been known and used ceremonially for over 3000 years and there is evidence to suggest cultivation in Peru from 2200 B. C

  • Amanita Muscaria
    Amanita muscaria, the highly visible and strikingly beautiful mushroom, also known as the Fly Agaric, is yellow to red in color and speckeled with white. Amanita muscaria is probably humanity's oldest entheogen. Amanita muscaria's history has it associated with both Shamanic and magical practices. It was identified as the "Soma" of the ancient (4000 BC) Rig Veda by Gordon Wasson.
     
  • How to Grow Kratom
    Growing Kratom is easy. When your plant arrives, carefully remove the plant from the box, minding use of sharp instruments, cut the tape, not the box in a warmer area, free from drafts to avoid dehydration. Carefully remove all packaging disturbing the plant as little as possible. Your plant may or may not be noticeably wilted. This is to be expected from the shock of transport. Do not be alarmed if it looks a little 'sad'. Keep plant away from direct artificial or natural light for at least a day. A dimly lit room, such as the counter or table top in front of drawn shades or blinds is considered indirect lighting. It needs to adjust to the new environment.

  • salvia divinorum plants
    It is easy to care for your salvia divinorum plant. Salvia divinorum has hollow, square stems with winged edges. The stems are not very sturdy, but with support, the Salvia plant can grow to eight feet tall. Filtered sunlight is best, and the plant likes plenty of water and humidity. It rarely sets seed, and when it does the seeds are usually not viable.
     

  • Mandrake
    A native of Southern Europe, the roots of Mandrake were supposed to bear a resemblance to the human form, on account of their habit of forking into two and shooting “arms” on each side. In the old herbals we find them frequently figured as a male with a long beard, and a female with a very bushy head of hair.

  • Entheogen
    Entheogen means "creates god within." It is a psychoactive substance used in a religious or shamanic circles. Entheogens are derived primarily from plant sources and have been used in a variety of traditional religious contexts. With the advent of organic chemistry, there now exist many synthetic substances with similar properties. The term entheogen is often used to refer to such substances when used for their religious or spiritual effects, whether or not in a formal religious or traditional structure. This terminology is often chosen to contrast with recreational use of the same substances. These spiritual effects have been demonstrated in peer-reviewed studies, though research remains difficult due to ongoing drug prohibition.
     

  • Ethnobotanical
    Ethnobotanicals are closely related to entheogens - meaning "becoming divine within." or "creating god within." It is referring to the divine within us.  Entheogens are plants possessing healing properties such as Kanna.  Perhaps the oldest known entheogen is Amanita muscaria. Other plants, such as Hawaiian Baby Woodrose, Morning Glory, and Blue Lotus have a more veiled place in Shamanic tradition, as does plants like the Shaman Rattle Root, but still have a deeply-rooted place heritage.

    So you've heard some crazy stuff about Salvia, Amanita Muscaria, Kratom and other cool things? Now what?

    Well, you've found us. That's a start. There's a whole new, fantastic world of Ethnobotanicals you've stumbled upon.

    What? You don't know what Ethnobotanicals are? The quick answer is that Ethnobotanicals are plants that have some significant relationship to humans. This can be anything from common medicinal Herbals to Salvia divinroum, Amanita muscaria or other Entheogens.

    If you came here trying to learn about Salvia, you'll probably be interested in the other Entheogens, of which Salvia is just one of hundreds. Entheogens are plants commonly used in Shamanic practices. They are usually referred to as "hallucinogenic" or "the new drug threatening your kids" by the media. But as scary as they are to the media and the government, they have actually been used for thousands of years by humans all over the world. Entheogens are the basis of just about every religion ever seen in the world including Christianity and may very well be at least partially responsible for much of human evolution as well as civilization.

    Unfortunately, that part of human history is little known by the mainstream today. In fact that information and the practicing of our ancestors religions is being suppressed today by those in power. From the illegalization and eradication of plants like Salvia divinorum or Amanita muscaria to to the propaganda and arrests against those that do still try to practice our oldest traditions, this knowledge and way of life is being threatened.

    The ethnobotanicals we offer like Salvia divinorum, Amanita muscaria, Kratom, San Pedro Cactus and the traditions and beliefs associated with them should be respected, not feared. It is our mission at Bouncing Bear Botanicals to preserve the most basic way of life and traditions and the plants associated with it through education, keeping the plants and the knowledge of them available to those that seek to find them.
