[edit]

Use of H. salicifolia for shamanic purposes by native peoples of Central America and Mexico has been described.[citation needed] In the method of preparation commonly used, fresh leaves are collected and allowed to wilt. The leaves are put into a cup or jar, cool water is added, and the mixture is placed in the sun to brew and ferment for at least 24 hours.
