Coca

Overview

Within Amazonian shamanism, Coca is a revered and sacred master plant — entirely distinct from its global reputation. It is considered a plant of light, balance, and endurance.

The Dieta

While not typically dieted in isolation in the same manner as other plants, Coca is often used ceremonially or added to the brews of other master trees. In dieta, it is used to connect with light, open the mind, and deepen perception.

It is respected for its ability to stimulate insightful dreams, act as a bridge to the spirit world, and provide the stamina needed for long ceremonies. It also functions as a natural anaesthetic and is used to calm physical pain and cleanse the stomach.
