PLANT DIETAS
WITH TOBACCO
Dietas with Tobacco and healing trees are profound spiritual and medicinal practices rooted in the traditions of Amazonian and other indigenous/mestizo cultures of the Americas. These practices involve a disciplined approach to dietary and lifestyle changes, combined with the ceremonial use of specific plants known for their powerful healing properties.
​TOBACCO DIETAS
​
​
Tobacco diets are centered around the use of Nicotiana rustica, a potent form of tobacco revered for its transformative, purifying and expansive qualities. In these diets, participants engage in a period of focused abstinence and consumption of this sacred plant, often under strict guidelines. The purpose of this diet is to foster deep spiritual insights, cleanse the body both physically and energetically of any blockages, and establish a strong personal connection with the plant's spirit. The process is supported by specific dietary restrictions and ceremonial practices that help enhance the effectiveness of the tobacco and facilitate a deeper healing experience.

Similarly, healing tree diets involve the use of specific trees known for their medicinal and spiritual benefits. Each tree offers unique healing properties and wisdom. Participants in these diets follow a regimented plan that includes dietary guidelines and rituals designed to harmonize their physical and spiritual selves with the essence of the healing trees. This practice aims to promote holistic well-being, gain spiritual insight, and achieve a profound connection with nature.

What Does a Dieta Involve?

​
This retreat provides an immersive experience into the sacred practices of Plant Spirit Shamanism. Guided by my own experiences as a curandero, the retreat is carefully designed to honor and integrate these traditional healing methods. A dieta involves:
​
- Seven days and seven nights drinking the medicine of Tobacco and another Master Plant in isolation.
- Austere food and lifestyle conditions. Being in isolation, eating only fruits and vegetables, staying away from other forms of stimulation and the digital environment.

PURGE WITH
TOBACCO
When prepared in a concentrated tea and consumed as part of a ceremonial purge, tobacco reveals its most potent medicinal qualities. This practice, known as a Tobacco purge, is an intense and transformative experience. The sacred brew works deeply within the body, cleansing the intestines, purifying the blood, and eliminating toxins, parasites, viruses, and bacteria. Yet, its healing power extends far beyond the physical realm.
On a mental and emotional level, tobacco offers profound grounding and clarity.
​
You can expect from a Tobacco purge:
A newfound clarity—a feeling of being firmly rooted in the present moment, yet profoundly connected to the greater mysteries of life. Unlike other master plants that may propel one into visionary states, Tobacco anchors the participant, offering insights that feel clear, simple, and directly applicable to life.
DIETA WITH TOBACCO
A Tobacco dieta is an extended period of communion with the spirit of Tobacco, undertaken with reverence and guided by an experienced practitioner. During this time, one follows a strict regimen of solitude, restricted diet, and prayerful intention, allowing for a deeper connection to the plant’s wisdom. Tobacco, in its role as a master teacher, reveals layers of understanding about the self, the natural world, and the Ultimate Reality.
​
Through its grounding energy, Tobacco helps dissolve energetic blocks and illuminates the path forward. It has a unique way of simplifying life’s complexities, offering direct answers to questions that may have lingered in confusion.
