Ethnopharmacological table on some reputedly psychoactive fumigatories among Middle and South American natives.

De Smet PA.

Data on the ethnopharmacology of ritual fumigatories in Middle and South America are summarized in table format. A literature search has yielded twenty-two plant species belonging to fifteen different genera as established or suggested ingredients of ritual fumigatories among the natives in these regions. Seven species contain a psychoactive principle and may very well be effective when smoked, six species contain a psychoactive principle but their efficacy when smoked is uncertain, and nine plants have not been adequately proved to contain a psychoactive principle.
