Important: seeds that contain LSA
Good to know
These seeds contain ergot alkaloids, including ergine (LSA). Nausea and vomiting are common, and these alkaloids constrict the blood vessels.
- Never during pregnancy: ergot alkaloids can cause contractions of the uterus.
- Not suitable for people with cardiovascular disease, circulation problems or liver problems, and never with MAOIs or migraine medicines (triptans, ergot derivatives).
- We do not give any preparation method or dosage for these seeds.
Traditional use and composition
Ipomoea corymbosa, long called Turbina corymbosa or Rivea corymbosa, is a liana of the Convolvulaceae family. Its seeds are known as ololiuhqui.
A 2015 historical review lists ololiuhqui among the substances used in religious and healing ceremonies by Mesoamerican cultures, among them the Olmec, Zapotec, Maya and Aztec; sixteenth-century chroniclers, mainly Fray Bernardino de Sahagún, described them, and local shamans and healers still use them. In 1960 Albert Hofmann and H. Tscherter isolated lysergic acid alkaloids from the seeds.
| Known compounds | Ergot alkaloids (ergolines), including lysergic acid amide (ergine), produced by a symbiotic fungus of the genus Periglandula living on the plant (Steiner and Leistner 2018). |
|---|---|
| Traditional use | Mesoamerican cultures (Olmec, Zapotec, Maya, Aztec): religious and healing ceremonies described by sixteenth-century chroniclers; use still reported among local shamans (Carod-Artal 2015). |
| State of research | The work consulted deals mainly with chemistry and the symbiosis with the fungus. No health claim is authorised in the EU for this plant. |
Three names for one species
Linnaeus described the plant in 1753 as Convolvulus corymbosus. Later authors placed it in the genera Turbina and Rivea, and Turbina corymbosa is the name still printed on the pouch. The World Checklist of Vascular Plants, compiled by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, accepts the species as Ipomoea corymbosa (L.) Roth, a name from 1819, and lists the others as synonyms. The supplier also gives Rivea corymbosa as a common name.
Native range
According to the checklist, the species is native to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean and extends into South America as far as Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil. It is recorded as introduced in Florida, the Canary Islands, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Queensland, among other places.
Other seeds of the family
Mycotrop also lists whole morning glory seeds from Romania, Ipomoea tricolor, from the same genus, and Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, Argyreia nervosa, another member of the Convolvulaceae.
Storing your botanicals
Keep dried plants in their tightly closed pouch or in an airtight jar, away from light, moisture and heat. Powders absorb moisture easily, so close them again straight away. For extracts, tinctures and capsules, follow the instructions on the label and the printed date.
Before using a plant
- Keep plants out of the reach of children and pets.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking any medication, ask a doctor or pharmacist first: many plants interact with medicines.
- Stop immediately if you have an allergic reaction or feel unwell.
