Discipline
Consistently following the rules of diet, even for prolonged periods of time, requires and develops a healthy discipline of body and mind
Commitment
Discipline meets dedication, with which we recognize both the meaning of what we are doing and the value of the plant that is the subject of our diet
Learning
Diet is a way for the Master plants to teach us, passing their wisdom to the dietero. The plant’s teachings are about us
Healing*
From the combination of all these factors springs the care and teaching that every Wise plant is able to offer to those who approach it with this mode
An integral psycho-physical healing experience
A tradition that comes from the Amazon, preserved for centuries by masters curanderos
The Master Plant Diet in the Shipibo tradition is both a healing practice* and an apprenticeship path. This is essentially a period of time ranging from a minimum of one week to a maximum of six months in which the The dietero observes certain dietary and behavioral restrictions while intaking the Master Plant that is the focus of the diet.
In this way the spirit of the plant comes in contact with the energetic and physical body of the patient/apprentice, granting him the care and/or teaching he needs.
In the picture: a typical dieta recipe adapted to our needs: pasta zucchini and egg, without salt, without oil, but very good 🙂
The general dietary rule to follow during the period of the diet is that the food should not have flavor, it should not be inviting, you must eat for their sustenanceand not for the taste.
The rules generally recommended by all curanders concern the absence of salt, sugar, alcohol, sex and other herbal preparations.
However, in detail, the rules can vary greatly because each curandero has their own specific diet, and the dieter must eat the same food that their master eats.
The importance of the master who connects the dietero with the energy of the plant should not be underestimated, sometimes it is more important the energy infused by the maestro rather than the ingestion of the plant itself.
The plants used in the diet can be very diverse, ranging from the large trees (palos) of the jungle to our native plants, which are already used in our herbal tradition. Each plant makes its particular contribution to our growth and healing* psycho-physical and spiritual.

How to understand
if the diet is that
What is it for me?
The Master plant diet is suitable for everyone, the world of nature is our spiritual home, plants are our greatest allies, they have been there for centuries, just waiting for their “younger brothers” to remember about them, as it once was…
You feel that life in the city stifles you
You have already experienced other types of energy work
You’ve worked with energy before. Hai frequentato corsi di Reiki, Pranic Healing e yoga, hai costruito un tamburo sciamanico, e sei interessato alla cristalloterapia e ad altre discipline olistiche…
You belive plants have a conscience
You want to deepen your relationship with spirituality
You are looking for an integrative care method
You have some health condition that you would like to try to treat* with integrative methods, because you realize the interdependence of the various systems –mind, body and spirit– and that treating only the symptoms does not solve the problem at its root.

Some testimonies of dieteros
A brief overview of some testimonials about the practice of the Wise Plant Diet as we conduct it at Sama Rao, our headquarters in Val di Taro (PR).
These are some of the dieteros who have come to us through various paths and have consented to provide their testimony on the experience they had and how the place that welcomed them is a fundamental element of the process.
our approach
Dieting immersed in isolation in the forest and dieting in our house in the city, in the midst of everyday bustle, is very different. For this reason the strict rules of the diet of Maestre plants, which are applied in the Shipibo tradition, have been reviewed by us and adapted to adhere to our reality.
Despite this, the personal experience and the feedback we have had from people who have experienced this form of dieting, have convinced us of the goodness and effectiveness of these adaptations.
The plants subject to the diet are both those of traditional medicine Shipibo, trees, shrubs and preparations of the Amazon flora, that those native to our ecosystem.
Learning the art of dieting, as well as being a valuable help to safeguard our health, helps us to get in touch with our surrounding environment, for a renewed and vivified concept of ecology, where the plant kingdom is not an unarmed thing to protect and safeguard, but a world full of sentient beings that can become our best allies.
How the diet is run
In most cases we do not accept to follow diets that we have not opened during our residential retreats, but in special cases we may decide to do so; in that case the diet would take place as described below. If the diet is opened during retreats, there is no need for a second meeting to close it.
First meeting to open the diet
In order to identify the best plant resource to be fed in each individual case, and to be able to best transmit the connection with the energy of the plant to the dietero, it is necessary to see each other in person at least once before starting the diet.
Remote monitoring of the diet
During the actual diet, the dietero will be self-managing, meaning that he will cook for himself meals, self-discipline to follow the rules, but we will always be available to advise him, listen to him, address him, and energetically clean him if necessary.
Second meeting to close the diet
The second necessary in-person meeting is to close the diet. Technically to quit the diet is enough to gradually start eating as before, but it is advisable to receive a protective treatment (arkana) before returning to life as always.
