In order to experience the effects of Hawaiian Baby Woodrose, you need to eat its seeds. Because they seeds have to be ingested, the time it takes before the effect kick in, depends on what you've eaten some time before. Therefore, you should try not to eat for at least 4 to six hours before you take the seeds.

The normal dosage is 4 to 8 seeds, but if it’s your first time, you should take no more than 3 seeds.

Before ingesting the seeds, scrape off the outer layer of the seeds, because it may cause you to feel nauseous. Even when the layer has been scraped off, you might still feel a little nauseous.

You can pulverize the seeds and swallow them with a little water or put them in a chewing gum and chew on them for a while. Never swallow them in one piece, though, since the digestive system can’t digest the seeds properly.

When you swallow the seeds with some water, make sure you use hot (but not boiling), distilled water (tap or mineral water contains minerals that might reduce the effects of the seeds). After about 30 minutes, drink the water together with the seeds.

Effects may last 6 to 8 hours. Afterwards, a feeling of relaxation may be experienced for another 12 hours.
