PLANT MEDICINES

Plant medicines are natural remedies derived from plants, often used for healing, spiritual growth, and well-being. They include concentrated extracts, tinctures, and pastes, crafted to preserve a plant’s active compounds for powerful therapeutic effects. Tinctures are liquid infusions, often alcohol-based, while pastes and extracts provide more potent forms of the plant's essence. In traditional practices, particularly in Amazonian shamanism, plant medicines are used alongside "la dieta," a spiritual diet involving fasting or abstaining from certain foods, substances, or activities. This process deepens the connection with the plant’s spirit, enhances its healing power, and fosters physical and spiritual purification.
