Hello I would presume to say I am rather new too Spiritually, Occult, and Mysticism and I was wondering what are the herbs or any products, creams or oils of sorts that could be used to decalcify the pineal gland/ third eye ? Any feedback is welcomed truly.

herbs and products are something to leave aside, especially drugs like Ayahuasca, if you want to practice yourself and are not seeking just some "spiritual" experience.
First, herbs require study and slow and careful experience gaining,(don't poison yourself and get ready for overdose, not pleasant) drugs require teaching from good teacher that won't misuse them on you, the products that you buy are not always of the best quality and sometimes the content is not what is written on the cover. If they are herbals, then same as herbs.

Vandheer has right note: What is it that you actually want to achieve?

Maybe I should extend that answer a little.
Herbs (and drugs) - NONE, Not recommended for opening your third eye
Products - NONE, don't know what products do you mean, if herb mixes, oils, essential oils (Yuck!), teas, crystals, energetic mandalas etc. Waste of money, it gives more to the vendors than to you.

Personally I recommend you to meditate.
Third eye is not some separate whole within your brain, but part of a system, which is you. So mastering yourself also means gaining some mastery of your third eye and meditation is one of the safest ways to go. It will teach you to reach altered states of mind by your own will alone, as well as getting back from them. You need to control your body as well as your mind before you get "through the veil" or simply before you start reaching those altered states.

Pineal gland calcification (PGC) is definitely a thing according to orthodox medicine just like brain calcification is but it's a grave medical disorder in serious diseases like Alzheimer‘s, not a mysterious condition hindering your spiritual growth. There are numerous books, expensive oils and even more expensive gadgets out there that purport to be able to ‚decalcify‘ your pineal gland (which even modern medicine is unable to) but they all scream „Scam!!“ to me. It must be one of the oldest cons in the world – convince the punters they have this weird health problem (which may not even exist), then sell them some of their snake oil as a cure.

How to open your Third Eye is another matter hotly debated on forums such as this one (another book is here) and should be by rights a topic for a new thread. The traditional approach of course would be to open / activate / strengthen or whatever the lower chakras first (for years or decades) through different kinds of yoga first before you can even begin to think about awakening your third eye. However, I once participated in a Kriya Yoga workshop long ago where the strategy was radically different – you work on your Third Eye first in order to become able to see what you are lacking in your spiritual/energetic makeup and only then make the appropriate adjustments lower down. So we learned to generate energy by means of breathing and certain visualisations in the base chakra and then send it up the spine to the Third Eye; after three days of this I felt like I had a big fat pimple between my eyes because I had concentrated on that area so hard for longish periods of time – I interpreted this as simple autosuggestion afterwards, I wasn’t feeling particularly holy or enlightened then.

The teacher at that workshop even recommended using a vibrator to stimulate one‘s Third Eye directly, which reminded me a bit of that infamous Lobsang Rampa tall tale where Tibetan monks allegedly opened it by drilling a hole in his forehead... The only substance that gets consistently mentioned (apart from those NewAge concoctions) on the net and in books is tiger balm, presumably because of the distinctive camphor smell and the menthol which tingles on the skin (and hurts like hell if it gets into your eyes!), but I think the only reason why it’s recommended is that it gives you a physical feeling of where your Third Eye is actually located in order to facilitate meditation and breathwork, just like the vibrator trick.

Probably anyone with the right essential oil expertise could produce a nice-smelling mix and sell it to you as a pineal gland decalcification placebo, so I wouldn’t put my hopes in such preparations.

I highly recommend Kundalini awakening if this is the direction you are wishing to go. It will "open" your "third eye" as it is called.

To assist with removing calcium on the pineal gland, avoid fluoridated water and use non-fluoridated toothpastes. Your body will actually break down deposits throughout the body over time if the amount of fluoridation desists.

In my view, there is too much focus on the pineal gland as the third eye. Have you seen the eye of Horus/brain map? The real heart of the brain that​
activates is a complex of parts that happens to match the symbolism of this "eye". Some think it's coincidence. The pineal gland is important, but exclusive focus or pressure for it to open is not even the Tantric or Yogic third eye. They say it's the pineal, but the relevent chakra is represented by a center and two petals. These are the hemispheres of the brain.​
eye-of-horus-brain.jpg

By the way, the above image is just one interpretation of the associations. So calcification is said to be caused by Fluoride salts. There is always a partial level of it, but with increased water and food toxicity it rises, and in some people it is pathological, meaning it affects normal living. On the other hand, for psychic awakening, low levels will affect things.

Electromagnetic frequencies coming from electronic devices and becoming more and more intense, toxic and prevalent are more of a problem I think. Otherwise, a clean diet and exercise in combination with mantra work helps. Mantra work (it need not be sanskrit) vibrates the sphenoid bone above the nasal cavity that helps massage the inner brain, which changes its architecture under the influence.

Mainly, if you are opening the brain, you need to focus on the gut and seat of the spine, as well as the heart to not over-stimulate and become unbalanced.

These do not calcify the pineal but are mostly inert and suffocate the body at every level, but not only. The usual bogeys are very real, and electromagnetic radiation tuned to toxic frequencies is a scientific fact. Fluorides are the least of the toxins of course. These glands are sensitive to hormonal disruptions, and plastics do a good job at that. So my take would be to replace the word "instead" with "in addition to".

Practical advice and unpractical advice when it comes to a healthier body and mind, (they go hand in hand)

To decalcify as Holdall said.. that’s an Alzheimer’s thing and Altan pointed out very useful things to avoid that contribute to a troubled mind.

Unpractical advice that’s not realistic… meditate religiously for hours every single day, go to a doctor and get a full blood analysis done to find any nutrients you are deficient in, what hormones are out of sync, etc.. this may need to go to different specialists, one for adrenal glands, one for micro nutrients one for macro ect.. find out and plan an ideal diet with a specialist and don’t deviate from it, get retested and do it again till you eventually find your ideal diet for your body type. 😂

A bit more on the Practical side…

meditation, cut down on any artificial food, eat fresh food, no meats with hormones or steroids, make sure it’s all fresh food, be practical though. Don’t get yourself down about it as it’s harder for some than it is for others, due to living area/financial situations etc, but there’s always alternatives, just make sure you’re getting in minerals and vitamins from fruits and vegetables and get in those amino acids, drink clean water or some people go as far as only drinking magnetized/restructured water some people re-mineralize distilled water (yeah magnetized water thew me for a loop as well, it’s a real thing, but doesn’t make the water magnetic 😔 ). Avoid plastic containers and food wrappings.
Some people do intermittent fasting daily,

But
- Most practical advice… try to eat healthy, be active get some blood flowing and be sure to meditate.

🤷‍♂️ none of these will open what people call the third eye (imo) it’s more of a state of being having it open or closed. However what it does do is, it helps your blood flow, helps you feel energized and completely changes up your mindset which in turn helps contribute to the focus and clarity needed for any magick workings heck even daily life things and helps facilitate the “opening of the third eye” .. as in It really helps with feeling energy flow and being more in tune with your energy and the energy around you.

Opening your “third eye” is subjective. So it depends on what you’re wanting to accomplish by opening it and a persons definition of opening it as well as the lengths a person is willing to do to obtain their goal.

With the third eye some people have different views of it, use sound judgement and do what you feel is best for you, a healthy brain is important period so everything I mentioned is to help the body and mind, one thing some people may not mention is to be careful with any dietary changes, cleanses etc, especially if you got a bad ticker —> ❤️ or take any meds, watch out for any drastic mood changes and too much of a good thing can be bad.
I won’t promote any cleanses or make any claims, but I do personally take a few things that I find helpful but everyone is different and be weary of extravagant claims… but don’t always throw the baby out with the bath water. It may not do A B and C but may help with X Y and Zed.

That’s the best advice I can give ya and hopefully I mentioned some new paths to look down for the health conscious people. (Really… magnetized water, who woulda knew? 🤷‍♂️) .

I’ve started brushing my teeth with peroxide and baking soda, drinking onion and banana tea/water and been working out I’m pretty sure my third eye is open but what are some signs that some go through to define the process or the experiences had with a open third eye/ pineal gland

I use activated charcoal but I’ve heard of peroxide and baking soda before.

As mentioned it depends on the persons definition, for me when meditating on “opening it” (this is upon meditation not every time you open or close it) when I open my eyes after the meditation my vision is crystal clear, colors are more vibrant and my focus is drawn from what’s in front of me to a tunnel view straight forward then it rapidly returns to normal, then keeping it open it just feels “normal”. Closing it, it makes you feel more shut off to energy, some reiki practitioners will begin a reiki session with opening their third eye and a slight energy meditation or a few breaths and then close it after the session. (Or so they say 🤷‍♂️)
some signs of opening it for the first time is being more intuitive, although normally associated with the solar plexus chakra it’s true for third eye as well imo, I see it as an energizing or balance point for the other chakras although many would argue against that and say it has more to do with astral projecting, seeing energy, remote viewing or OBE’s which I wouldn’t argue with that view either. When it’s “open” more, I feel different energy points a lot more strongly than normal noticeably wrists, soles ankles and fingers. When it’s closed or not quite open as much as normal then it feels like those other energy points are closed off. Like turning a vent on and off manually, air still gets through although it’s obstructed.

As for opening it too much before you’re ready, you may get negative side effects like paranoia or feeling drained.
Don’t use this to diagnose or treat any conditions but that’s something to keep in mind.
If you can do a kundalini meditation or any type of chakra meditation and feel the points you have it open at least slightly imo. For further opening keep up with chakra meditations and work on feeling the energy at different points, you’ll figure it out as you go, if you need anymore help then you can always feel free to ask questions. With opening the third eye, knowing the difference between pushing and pulling energy within is important so it’s best to get a solid foundation.

Thank you this made it very clear I’ve always struggle with trusting self and my intuition but lately I’m starting to realize I’m right 9/10.

And the crystal clear part I feel 100% sometimes you just look around and everything seems different kinda like a nostalgic feeling I would describe it I always called it nirvana, the power of now but I guess just realizing that is somewhat the eye itself opening.

I appreciate your feedback truly.

The Gut what I eat such as fruits and non processed (dead) food.

The Seat of the Spine so the Butt or Lower back area dealing with flexibility I suppose and posture ?

and the Heart choosing what drives you love, fear, hatred, etc.

Furthermore how do these all connect to the brain I know the stomach is where the energy is stored and are created therefore needing/wanting clean or alive energy to use ?

the Heart as it is the intention the reason of cause behind it all ?

And the Spine I have no idea with that other than the 33 Vertebrae’s.

I was very intrigued by this answer and truly wish to have more in detail which every part symbolizes within the system and how they all work in the field of the Mage.

Oh one other thing, some people swear by keeping a dream journal to write dreams down in order to lucid dream, and that’s sometimes seen as a sign of having your third eye open.
I haven’t done it myself but I’ve heard there’s a method of astral projecting starting from a lucid dream state. Even if it’s not true I can still see the correlation between lucid dreaming and having your third eye open. 🤷‍♂️

You can simply look up anything about chakras. Only don't see them as they are presented, but as describing the areas of their location (head, throat, heart etc). There are also five organs in Taoist inner alchemy that align with five elements, emotions, virtues etc. These have their own awareness, which tends to explain how people with organ transplants can have the memories of the doaner, but it is different with each organ. Just look up Fusion of the Five Elements by Mantak Chia. Or even on any search engine with Five Shen theory (Shen means intelligence).

I say, start with visualizations. Do a visualization meditation, and visualize your Consciousness expand. But first, look around you and see every detail of the environment you are at. I hope this helps. It works for me. Blessed be!

This was a wonderful reply I read it when you first made it but coming back now I truly have been working on my gut health and my posture thank you for your input

In my experience : using the third eye/pineal gland association isn't an absolute rule. It's more a focus point.

I say, start with visualizations. Do a visualization meditation, and visualize your Consciousness expand. But first, look around you and see every detail of the environment you are at. I hope this helps. It works for me. Blessed be!

Using your senses to see beyond is actually a more direct road. Observe your surronding and conjure a smell, a taste, a touch....

I didnt read through all the replies, but the pineal gland, dream work (melatonin, produced by third eye), as well as herbalism and wholistic health care, and addiction medicine, have all been main subjects in the study i call life. I am, by no means at all, any sort of expert. I have a cursory understanding of a wide range of subjects, and a better understanding of others, which helps me intuit my way through these subjects.
i have no formal training of any sort.
With that being said, i have struggled wwith sever depression and feelings of social isolation since i can remember. I have been accessing "consumer grade" addictions services, as a person living below poverty line, for over a decade, and compulsory mental health "services" as a child.
my life path is one of being at odds wwith the system, and they (the secret race of pig people that run everything) have tried to keep me down since day 1, so as my intuition had told me, health care including mental health care was just a distraction at best aand a atrap designed to kill at worst. The reason i am alive today, besides Apollo (HAIL! Apollo Paeon! HAIL! Apollo Akestor! HAIL! Apollo Boedromius!), Hecate (HAIL! Hecate Pyrophoros! HAIL! Hecate Skylakegia! HAIL! Hecates Anessa!) and any other guides (Respect, Honor, And thanks to my spiritual ancestors) i would not be alive today. So much of my life, ive reallized in the last few months, has been shaped by these two.

i know no one wants to hear this, but the answer is very very simple and actionable. there are three things off the top of my head i can think of

1. Diet - Reduce and or eliminate any factor farmed meat, reduce all meat consumption to an absolute minimum according to a diet like chinese medicine or ayurvedic eliminate all pesticides, preservativves, artificial colouring and refined sugars. Eliminate coffee, even caffeine from your diet (I switched to ginseng tea, holy shit now i know why kung fu masters drink it) Reduce any foods that are known to cause inflammation, including gluten (trust me, anyone should try this, if you eliminate it completely your body because adverse to it and it causes you to feel sick and sluggish, plus it causes inflammation). Eliminate glycophosphates (roundup) from your diet.
1.1 Eliminate fluoride, drink purified or uncantiminated water - ok this is kind of diet related, but my tin foil hat has received transmissions that an ancient race of evil pig-people hybrid aliens are contaminating the water systematically in order to cause stunted brain growth.... but what do i know.... no but seriously, that shit is spiritual poison. The pineal gland regulates melatonin, which is one of the strongest anti inflammatories known, which regulates (amongst so much more) oxytocin production. Oxytocin and melatonin are two of the most important chemicals your body makes in my opinion. We wont get in to the spiritual motives for a possible systematic poison of the human pineal gland now, but Melatonin annd Oxytocin regulate (amongst others) Dopamine production as well.
Did you know there are peoplle with a disorder that their brain creates NO dopamine whatsoever. None. Without medical intervention they die.
If these people didnt receive medical treatment they would die of dehydration with a bottle of water in front of them. Because dopamine is responsible for motivation and moving the body but also momentum or locomotion. Withouut dopamine you dont move your body, without moving you die. Sound like depression much?? what else does depression feel like? isolation. which brings me to 2

2. Live in service, or at least make a friend - Oxytocin deficiency during developmental years, i hypothesize, causes many many developmentally related chronic and severe mental health disorders, any that are dopaminergic (not sure thats the right ord) or related to sleep for certain, as well as oxytocin deficiency also being the root cause of addiction in society. (Read "The Globalization of Addiction" for more on that, its actually the best book ive ever read, and really shaped the foundation of my world vview) But oxytocin is a hormone that evolved in animals who llive in social groups. It motivates social interaction, but more specifically social connection.

An example of this is this. You go to a high school reunion. You meet three people.
Each one walks up to you from behind and firmly puts a hand on your lower back, below the shoulders but above the tail bone. you turn around surprised and see one of three faces.
One is your high school bully. Do you feel good? Comfortable? Like you want to disappear?
Another is your first kiss, who has aged like fine wine. Do you feel good? Comfortable? Like you want to disappear back to their place?
Another is the waiter politely trying to squeeze by while you take up too much space. Do you feel good? Comfortable? Uncomfortable?

this demonstrates how oxytocin, which is essential for our human body to remain in homeostasis, is really about social CONNECTION, which is a feeling of being a part of something bigger. something that matters more than little old me. A lack of oxytocin is the feeling of isolation.
Which is also the feeling of chronic addiction, and depression.


3. Exercise. Get some fuckin exercise, pretty obvious. your body needs it.
no but seriously. this is one of the things i wish someone had taught me in all my years of counselling, drug treatment etc.
listen up.
Did you know, having one day of increased dopamine production, by natural means not drug induced or otherwise artifical, like say going for one long difficult exercise, or putting in an extra few reps, or having one major breakthrough accomplishment (all dopamine producing actions) or even a cold dip i imagine...

it can increase baseline dopamine levels for up to 3 or more years

wild.... that shit blew my mind when i heard it. One hard thing. Just do it once, and every hard thing will be easier for three years or more

anyways.... nevermind all the other endorphins etc which all co-regulate eachother because the body is a system not a series of separate processes... exercise is obvious, but hard, i know.

4. Sleep regularly - Melatonin is one of the most important chemicals in maintaining homeostasis. We evolved for who knows how many years, since life began, to be in sync with the cycles of the moon and the sun. that didnt change when industrial capitalism was born. When i have llived nomadically, whether as a hobo riding the rails or a begger living in the streets, or on a piece of land homesteading, i am a slave to the rhythm of the sun. im up too damn early every day, and im out by midnight ever nnightt. this is immediately disregulated when i begin living inside. Part of this is due to exercise, part from the reduction in light and noise pollution.
Not to mention, and maybe most importantly, when your dreams are taken away from you, you have lost your connection to source. Also, it means you have lost your ability to dream literally and figuratively, imo.


So this is my working hypothisis on how to cure addiction and heal most developmentally related mental health disorders (as well as physical health but we wwont get in to that)

uhmmm... yeah.... i guess i did that ramble. Oxytocin/melatonin/dopamine/biohacking type shit is one thing i am known to ramble about. as well as conspiracies.
