I finally found them when searching using the name "buzz buttons" which personally I think is a stupid name...

However, I did a quick internet search and discovered a few small-scale sellers of dried spilanthes. One is on Etsy, and another can be found at this link: https://reveriefarmllc.com/products/spilanthes-dried-herb-toothache-plant-organic-acmella-oleracea <br /><br />I'm sure there are more out there if you keep digging.Sarah Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13744660592887953616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174391215732147465.post-77946531250438823262019-03-22T02:51:22.933-05:002019-03-22T02:51:22.933-05:00Where do you get this plant?

It may take longer whilest chewing on them for it to "appear" but it is definitely still very potent. I'm going to go see if making a tea with it will be useful as a mouthwash....

Keep out of the sun and Spilanthes will stay potent for about a year like that. Or you could always make a tincture, which would last much longer. Hope this helps!

I chewed my first flower last week. That's a pretty "cool" sensation. I'm just finding out now about all it's other medicinal uses.
