What is a master plant dieta?
*A Master Plant Dieta is the process of consuming and energetically sitting with the plant you are dieting while in isolation from others. During this time a dietero (one who is dieting) will be on a strict diet of no salt, sugar, fats, & processed foods, practicing celibacy, and being mindful of what is being consumed. When dieting in the rainforest you typically reside in a tambo (jungle hut) away from others. If you are on a "social" dieta, you may be out of the jungle and continuing your work and life, but practicing all the necessary restrictions and isolating as much as possible. These necessary restrictions demonstrate to the plant that you are willing to show up to receive its healing and teachings & allow the potency of the plant's energy to be felt with less distractions. If a dietero breaks these agreements while on the diet, there can be serious consequences. A Master Plant is officially opened and closed by a practiced curandero or vegetalista (medicine man or woman who is well-trained in these traditions) through song, ceremony or prayer, often in conjunction with or while sitting with Amazonian grandmother medicine.
A dieta can range from days to multiple weeks, months or even years with one Master Plant. Diets are given to those who wish to receive the healing benefits of the plant, physically, energetically and spiritually, and sometimes are shorter to introduce a connection. Longer diets tend to be for those who are on the path of curanderismo and are apprenticing to understand the world of the plants and grandmother medicine. Dieting is a challenging and beautiful practice that is not to be taken lightly.*
