Frequently Asked QuestionsLet every action come from certainty and courage,, without doubt and without fear.

It is a very funny answer and story.
It is said that when Spanish people came to Peru, from the north, they hit a spot, a huge complex, a sanctuary, called Chavin de Huantar, in Ancash.
This is the place where they discover a beverage made of a strong, tall cactus. Once they drank it, and started feeling the good effects and the great feeling inside, they started to say that this plant has all the keys….the keys of heavens.
That’s why they miscalled it San Pedro.

Maybe you wonder why… “What keys?”
Well, is for you to find out!

Very good question for a simple answer. No!
No, if you use it in a sacred, well-guided ceremony or place.
No, when there is good preparation and integration.
No, when the person is emotionally stable.
No, when the dose is appropriate for the individual.
No, if you don’t take too much by yourself or are in a bad setting.
No, if you know how to integrate the deep experiences afterward (getting “lost” in visions without grounding back)
No, if you respect the medicine (understanding it’s not a “trip” — it’s a serious healing process)
The previous chat with the person is very important to establish the intentions and the mindset.

Wachuma doesn’t “make you crazy” — It brings up what is already inside you, maybe hidden, maybe denied.
If you are prepared and supported, it helps you heal and balance.
If you are not ready or unsupported, it can overwhelm your system…or maybe feel no effect at all.

That’s why it is very important The Cut ‘n’ Boil Process…the bands that integrate with the medicine plant.

Intentions and Energy:
When you cut the cactus, you’re transmitting your energy, your prayers, and your intentions into it.
If you cut with love, with respect, with gratitude, the medicine absorbs that.

The Joy, the Celebration:
Laughing, singing, dancing, and celebrating while the cactus boils charges the brew with the right frequencies of light,
So the journey later will be gentler, more joyful, and more connected. Beautiful things happen.

The CommUnion:
Everyone present during the boiling becomes part of a living prayer.
It’s a shared offering to the spirits, the ancestors, Pachamama (Mother Earth), the cactus itself, and the people who will drink.

The Medicine Starts There:
The spiritual work does not start when you drink — it starts the moment you touch the cactus, the moment you call the Spirit in.

Alchemical Transformation:
The boiling is like an alchemical process:
Raw nature (the cactus)  |  Transformed by fire, water, time, and human spirit Into Sacred Medicine
You are cooking your own medicine   |   You are cooking your own healing

A clean diet, emotional intention setting, light fasting, abstaining from alcohol or other substances, and spiritual preparation (meditation, prayer) are commonly recommended. But most importantly, we need to talk!
The best way is preparing the mind and the heart. Also, for what will happen after the experience: The Integration!

Integration is the process of making sense of and embodying the insights gained during the ceremony. Without integration, profound experiences may fade or cause confusion.

Good question🌵
You don’t measure Wachuma by “how many cups” like a normal drink.
You measure it by the energy, the intention, and the purity of your heart within each cup.

Truth is… Wachuma measures you — and then he drinks you! 🌵

The word “entheogen” comes from Ancient Greek and literally means:
“Generating the divine within”
(From én-theos ἔνθεος meaning “full of the god, inspired” and -genēs γενής meaning “coming into being” or “creating.”)
That’s why is so satanized…for you not to integrate it

Entheogen emphasizes the sacred, spiritual, or religious aspect of using certain psychoactive plants or substances — rather than just the psychological effects or recreational use. The term was coined in 1979 by a group of scholars (including R. Gordon Wasson, Carl A.P. Ruck, and Jonathan Ott) to replace older words like “hallucinogen” or “psychedelic,” which they felt were too biased or misunderstood.

Wachuma, Ayahuasca, Iboga, Psilocybin mushrooms, etc., are not just hallucinogens — they are entheogens or sacred medicines.
Entheogen        “Generating the divine within”
Psychedelic      “Manifesting the mind/soul”
Hallucinogen    “Producing hallucinations”

To heal emotional wounds or physical issues, reconnect with oneself and the universe, dissolve trauma, overcome limiting patterns, and remember one’s deeper nature and spiritual essence. In fact, there’s more than that…Far Beyond!

Wachuma generally produces a gentler, heart-centered, more expansive experience compared to the more intense and visionary experiences often associated with Ayahuasca. Impossible to describe it in its real meaning and purpose. How does life taste?

Traditionally, Wachuma is used in daytime ceremonies or hikes, outdoors in nature, where the participant connects with the elements, spirits, and cosmic forces through guided rituals and prayer, and Ayahuasca is just the same, only used by night (mostly), and with Icaros.

No. Wachuma work can complement traditional therapy (and vice versa), but deep integration and therapeutic support after the experience are essential for lasting healing, especially if the person had or has any issues or traumas to deal with or solve.
Many people report profound healing of trauma, emotional blocks, and PTSD symptoms after working with Wachuma in a well-guided therapeutic setting.
However, it is not a guaranteed cure…if you don’t believe it.

Integrating other master plants increases, of course, the experience, energetically, psychologically, and spiritually, is like cracking the shell and coming out…gently!
Of course, with expert guidance.

We do not recommend combining Wachuma or Ayahuasca with hardcore substances, or pills, which increase health risks and can overwhelm the system energetically and psychologically.

Of course, first things first!
You can do it here and now!
