Dioscorea dregeana Seeds (RARE)

Family : Dioscoreaceae

The Zulu names udakwa and isidakwa respectively mean inducing drowsiness and a drunkard it is a profound sedative that is used to treat epilepsy, hysteria, insomnia and acute psychosis. This potent narcotic is used to sedate violent, psychotic patients and is also used as an analgesic. In earlier times it was used as general anaesthetic to enable fractures of the limbs to be to be manipulated and stabilised by traditional bonesetters. The fresh tuber is generally taken orally or as a weak decoction with an adequate dose resulting in sleep within 20-30 minutes.

Reportedly the safest traditional way of preparing a decoction of this plant for inducing sleep would be to do as follows: Cut through the tuber and weigh out about 25 grams of the tuber including the skin and chop it into small pieces. Then fill a large pot with 0,5 litres of water, place the chopped up bits into the water and bring to a boil, then once the water is boiling bring down the heat and let it simmer until the water has simmered down to about 100ml , once this is done let it cool down until it is cool enough to drink. Then to measure out a dosage for one person, one could drink between 10 and 30ml depending on the individual but one should not exceed 100ml of the decoction in one day.
