Botanical

Not identified in available sources — only list-style magical descriptions found, no morphology page or scientific name.

Origin / legend

No real origin legend in plant-lore sources, but a forum-like page (Ran4U) preserves a vivid Ayutthaya-war-style narrative: an officer named หมื่นฤกษ์ มือฉมัง performs a ritual bath with ว่านพญาหัวเสือ before a raid against an Ava/Burmese position near Wat Tha Ka Rong; the herb is said to have come from Sukhothai, specifically Wat Ta Then Khueng Nang. After the ritual bath, the story complicates the simple invulnerability claim: the ritual specialist is shot and falls into the water while the other men flee. Treat this as legend/literary transmission rather than documentary history — it reads like serialized historical occult storytelling.

Consecration method (ปลุกเสก)

No procedure found in plant-lore sources. The Ran4U narrative gives the only procedural texture found anywhere: ritual bathing at midnight on a Wednesday, on the waxing first day of the second lunar month, chewing the herb, wearing a prachiat cloth, and tying the arm with the waan before battle — no katha text is given. Palungjit's general waan-procedure thread classifies it among martial/kongkraphan-type waan without assigning a specific katha to it.

Application

Per the Ran4U narrative: chewed, bathed with, worn as a prachiat cloth, and tied to the arm before battle. Should not be assumed eaten, worn, planted, or weapon-applied as routine practice without a better source — this is a single legend account.
