In the belly of the Amazon Basin, the sacred master plant Ajo Sacha stands as a revered guardian of spiritual wisdom and healing. Embraced by indigenous tribes such as the Shipibo-Conibo and the Ashaninka, Ajo Sacha holds a pivotal role in their traditional remedies and shamanic practices.
For these tribes, Ajo Sacha is more than a botanical entity; it is a living embodiment of ancestral knowledge and a guide to the realms of spiritual enlightenment. The plant is honored for its potent remedial properties, believed to cleanse both the vessel and the spirit.

The dieting process is viewed as a sacred communion, where the individual establishes a profound relationship with the plant, unlocking its spiritual teachings.

Plant Spirit Medicine is a form of spiritual remediation rooted in ancestral traditions that combines classical Chinese~ Five Element theory, the indigenous practice of calling upon plant spirits, and the Animism religion (the attribution of a soul to plants, inanimate objects, and natural phenomena.) Plant Spirit Medicine recognizes that like humans, plants have spirit, and their spirit has the unique capacity to touch and rebuild the spirit of a human being and restore us to our own essential nature. Our ancestors lived this way–-an existence in which there is no illusion of separation from nature. They would make friends with the spirits of nature and call upon them for restoration and other everyday affairs. This ancient practice was remembered, revitalized, and reintroduced by the late teacher and healer, Eliot Cowan, and has proven to be as effective in today’s world as in times past. Modern people are once again turning to plants for guidance and for their ability to regenerate spirit.
