We have been contacted by some members of the 'cluster headache' community regarding the use of Rivea Corymbosa as a form of treatment. We do not know a great deal about this so we recommend you do your own research before making any decisions. A good place to start is with the websites outlined below:

www.clusterbusters.com - The purpose of this website and the information it holds, is to further research into the possible elimination of chronic, severe and life altering headache pain, through the use of hallucinogenic substances, which have proven to be more effective and less destructive to the human body, than traditional treatments. read more...

Rivea corymbosa (common synonym: Turbina corymbosa), is a species of morning glory plants, native throughout Latin America from Mexico in the North to Peru in the South and widely naturalised elsewhere. It is a perennial climbing vine with white flowers, often planted as an ornamental plant.

Known to natives of Mexico as Ololiuhqui (also spelled ololiuqui), its seeds, while little known outside of Mexico, were perhaps the most common hallucinogenic drug used by the natives.

In 1941, Richard Evans Schultes first identified ololiuhqui as Rivea corymbosa and the chemical composition was first described on August 18, 1960, in a paper by Dr. Albert Hofmann. The seeds contain ergoline alkaloids similar in structure to LSD.

The Nahuatl word ololiuhqui means "round thing", and refers to the small, brown, oval seeds of the morning glory, not the plant itself, which is called coaxihuitl, "snake-plant", in Nahuatl, and hiedra or bejicco in the Spanish language. The seeds, in Spanish, are sometimes called semilla de la Virgen (little seeds of the Virgin Mary).

The seeds are also used by Native curers in order to gain knowledge in curing practices and ritual, as well as the causes for the illness.

Rivea corymbosa Seeds (virgin) are closely related to the Morning Glories and Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds.

Throughout historical references we see "two cultures in a duel to the death" (the Spanish and the American Indians)

The Indians seem to have won out. Today, in almost all of the villages of Oaxaca Mexico, one finds the Rivea corymbosa seeds.
