What Is a Dieta?
Over thousands of years the Shipibo have developed and bequeathed powerful insights and techniques from a variety of "Master Plants" found throughout the Amazon. These plants provide profound levels of healing and education when the participant adheres to a specific dietary regimen.
A Master Plant Dieta, also referred to as a shamanic dieta is a complex, strict and rigorous system of discipline through which a planta maestra (teacher plant) transmits protection, guidance and sacred knowledge to the student or “dietero”.
It is highly recommended for individuals participating in a dieta, to define for themselves a clear intention for what they would like to heal, learn, grow into or release from their lives.
​
During a dieta the curandero or student will sacrifice the pleasures of physical stimulation by refraining from sex, alcohol, and sweet, spicy, salty, or rich foods. In return for this sacrifice, the plant spirits agree to teach, guide, protect, strengthen, or endow abilities and insight to the person doing the dieta. The dieta is done in near isolation in order to avoid any temptations that might come from interactions with people who are not doing or do not understand the dieta. In some indigenous groups, like the Shipibo, people doing dietas have their faces, hands, and feet painted with a dye made from a fruit called huito so that anyone with whom they may come in contact knows to treat them appropriately.
Capirona Tree
The Capirona tree is an important plant in the traditional medicine of the Amazon region. Preparations made from its bark have been used to support a wide range of health benefits, including anti-aging and wound healing.
Some Amazonian tribes have even referred to the Capirona tree as the "Tree of Youth" due to its potential to promote longevity and enhance stress resistance.
