WHAT IS A MASTER PLANT DIETA?
In Traditional Amazonian Curanderismo, the Master Plant Dieta is a process in which the dietero enters isolation in the Rainforest, adheres to a very limited diet, and ingests and cultivates a relationship with a Plant to learn the teachings and healing modalities that the Spirit of this Plant has to offer.
The Master Plants are guides and teachers that heal specific symptoms of disease and trauma, and along with the medicine of Oni, are Spirits with vast gifts of potential to share and offer with those who connect with openness. For the Shipibo, the Plants and Trees of the Forest are Sacred and Conscious Elements with the capacity to feel, communicate and teach us of our original nature as Human Relatives.
Maestra Ynes is the beating heart of Niwe Rao Xobo.
Coming from an ancient lineage of healers extending back 200+ years, Ynes is one of the last female healers in the region that can heal on the highest spiritual level (Onanya)
in the Shipibo Healing Cosmology.
A Healer of her caliber will have dieted the most powerful master plants for years at a time. Some of Ynes' longest dietas have extended two years where she had to follow strict restrictions on food and human interaction. Over the past 55 years, she has dieted in the jungle on numerous occasions in complete isolation.
Having apprenticed under her great-uncle, great-grandfather, and grandfather, among other healers in her family, Maestra Ynes is a highly regarded as a powerful Woman and a loving Matriarch in her family. She is the foundation of her family, which continues to benefit their healing center of renewal and reconnection to Life.
