Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hi everyone. I haven't seen this patient yet but thought i'll ask on the forum for anyone's advice or experience with this kind of thing. He basically overdosed on Salvia back in June. He was using it to explore shamanic visions. He is back home but has still a number of severe mental and physical symptoms. He can't walk or drive. Has no balance. keeps crashing into things. An aversion to people. Problems with self cleanliness. Got very scared while he was using Salvia. Sorry not much of a history but was wandering if there is that was used traditionally for this? Thanks May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hi May, It is important to know what type of salvia...it could be anything from Dan Shen to Salvia Divinorum. It may effect the treatment.

Sounds like diviner's sage(a leaf) not dan shen(a root) both in the mint family... Herbal yin and shen tonics could be helpful too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
