Plant Medicine

The field of plant medicine constitutes an extensive natural science of ancestral origin, as evidenced by its presence across diverse cultures worldwide. This is a phenomenon that has been observed since the earliest days of humankind. Indeed, it is the mechanism by which not only humans but also animals in the wild seek to remedy their illnesses.

The origins of modern pharmaceutics can be traced back to the utilisation of herbal medicine, drawing inspiration from the long-standing knowledge of medicinal properties inherent in plant-based remedies that have been handed down through generations.

The discipline under discussion is one which extends beyond the mere treatment of bodily functions, encompassing the realms of psychology, emotion and spirituality. This philosophy extends to the domain of personal learning, facilitated by the systematic and methodical consumption of the designated "Master Plants".

Ayahuasca, peyote, teonanacatl and huachuma are the most well-known master plants that facilitate a connection with the knowledge of the natural kingdom. However, there is a plethora of master and healing plants that could be studied and used to enhance our overall health and wellness.

At Tonkiri Sanctuary, the study of this science is approached with a sense of profound dedication, characterised by love and respect for the established guidelines of "Amazonian Vegetalism". This tradition is regarded as the pinnacle of natural healing, plant medicine and shamanism on the planet.
