Tobacco and Plant Dieta

For the Amazonians, the plant dieta is the most effective way to learn from the plants, and a shaman’s true worth is often measured by the variety of the plants they have dieted and the duration of those dietas. Apart from cases where I recommend light dietas for those who require them for improving a health condition, I will only accept select students to participate in a dieta, as a properly conducted dieta requires a high level of commitment from both the teacher and the student. Over the course of at least a month, the student learns from the plant by undertaking an extremely restrictive diet that prohibits salt, spices, acidic, and flavorful foods while at the same time fortifying their bodies with the medicine that they are dieting. Currently, I offer a dieta with Tobacco, Bobinsana, and Camalonga. The dieta program is hybrid - twice a week the student will come into my office so that we can check on their progress, and the remaining days the student will follow a protocol at home. The process of the dieta is extremely rigorous and only for those who are seriously committed to learning plant medicine.
