Diet of
Ayahuasca

The pre-ayahuasca diet is unique in the Peruvian Amazon.

Ayahuasca, a sacred medicinal plant revered for its profound healing properties, is deeply rooted in the culture of the Peruvian Amazon. A central element of the experience is the pre-coital diet, a ritual practice designed to prepare both body and mind for the transformative journey.

This diet, based on ancestral wisdom, follows the five "S" principle: minimizing salt, sugar, spices, alcoholic beverages, and sexual relations. By following these guidelines, participants purify their bodies of impurities, allowing the potent ayahuasca brew to exert its effects without hindrance. Minimizing salt and sugar reduces unnecessary stimulation, while abstaining from spices and alcoholic beverages ensures mental clarity during the ceremony. Furthermore, sexual abstinence helps conserve vital energy, directing it toward the healing process. Our experienced shamans recommend beginning this diet at least three days before the ayahuasca experience, to allow the body sufficient time to detoxify and prepare. After the guided journey, it is advisable to continue the diet for at least a week, allowing the healing energies of ayahuasca to fully integrate into your being. Adopting the ayahuasca diet is not just a physical practice, but a sacred ritual that honors the ancient traditions and wisdom of the Amazonian peoples. It serves as a path to self-awareness, healing, and spiritual growth, guiding participants on a profound journey of exploration and inner transformation.
