DIETA TO FOLLOW BEFORE YOUR CEREMONY

AYAHUASCA DIET

The Ayahuasca dieta (diet) is an important preparatory step to partake in an Ayahuasca ceremony. following this diet helps to cleanse and purify the body, mind, and spirit, enabling a deeper connection with the medicine. This dieta typically involves avoiding certain foods, substances, and activities, and focusing on a simple, clean lifestyle. Below is a two-week guideline for the Ayahuasca diet:

Foods to Avoid (1 Week Before the Ceremony)

1. Salt: Avoid adding salt to meals, and try to minimize foods that contain high sodium.

2. Sugar: Avoid refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, and sugary foods (e.g., desserts, candies).

3. Meat: Avoid beef, pork, and lamb. It’s believed that red meat can be heavy on the digestive system.

4. Processed Foods: No canned, pre-packaged, or heavily processed foods. Stick to whole foods and natural ingredients.

5. Fermented Foods: Avoid fermented items such as cheese, soy sauce, yogurt, miso, or pickles, as they may contain tyramine, which interacts negatively with Ayahuasca.

6. Alcohol: Strictly avoid alcohol for at least two weeks. Alcohol can interfere with the effects of Ayahuasca and hinder the healing process.

7. Caffeine: Avoid caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea, and energy drinks. Herbal teas (without caffeine) may be fine.

8. Spicy Foods: Avoid foods with chili peppers, hot sauces, or intense spices that can overstimulate digestion.

9. Dairy Products: Avoid milk, cheese, butter, and other dairy products, which can be hard on the digestive system.

10. Fried or Oily Foods: Limit oils and fats; instead, use minimal oil when cooking, focusing on steaming, boiling, or baking.

11. Garlic and Onion: These are often avoided due to their intense energy and digestive effects.

12. Sexual Activity: NOT FOOD BUT IMPORTANT: avoiding sexual activity, including masturbation, for one to two weeks before the ceremony, as it's believed to conserve vital energy for the experience.

13. Drugs: Avoid all recreational drugs (including cannabis) and prescription medications that interact with the nervous system, unless medically required. Especially important if you’re taking SSRIs or MAOIs, as these can dangerously interact with 5-MeO-DMT. Please reach out to us before scheduling a Ceremony if you’re prescribed SSRI’s or MAOI’s

Foods You Can Eat

1. Fruits and Vegetables: Focus on fresh, organic produce. Bananas, apples, papayas, spinach, kale, carrots, and zucchini are great options. Try to eat raw or steamed vegetables when possible.

2. Whole Grains: Brown rice, quinoa, oats, and millet are great choices for sustaining energy levels.

3. Legumes: Lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and other beans are excellent sources of plant-based protein.

4. Fish (Optional): Some versions of the dieta allow for light, white fish (like tilapia) if you are not vegetarian. However, it's better to avoid heavy proteins altogether.

5. Nuts and Seeds: In moderation, almonds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds are good for healthy fats and protein.

6. Herbal Teas: Drink calming, non-caffeinated teas like chamomile, peppermint, or lemon balm to soothe digestion.

7. Water: Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

8. Plain Grains: Rice, quinoa, oats without seasoning or salt are encouraged.

BUFO ALVARIUS DIET

Preparing for a Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) ceremony involves following a specific diet and lifestyle recommendations. Like with many plant medicines, the goal is to cleanse and purify your body, mind, and spirit, which can make the experience smoother and deeper. While the dietary restrictions are generally less stringent than those for Ayahuasca, they still aim to reduce toxins and distractions that may interfere with the medicine. Here’s a general guide to follow before a Bufo Alvarius ceremony:

Foods to Avoid ( 3 Days Before Ceremony)

1. Processed Foods: Eliminate all processed and packaged foods. Stick to fresh, whole foods to avoid chemicals, preservatives, and additives.

2. Sugar: Avoid refined sugars and artificial sweeteners (including sugary desserts and snacks). These can disrupt energy balance and cloud mental clarity.

3. Red Meat: Avoid red meats like beef, pork, and lamb. These can be heavy on the digestive system and may slow down the energetic process.

4. Fried and Oily Foods: Minimize oils, especially fried foods, to avoid excess fats that can weigh down digestion and energy.

5. Dairy Products: Reduce or eliminate dairy (milk, cheese, butter, yogurt), as it can cause mucus buildup and sluggish digestion.

6. Caffeine: Avoid caffeinated drinks like coffee, black tea, and energy drinks. Caffeine can overstimulate the nervous system.

7. Alcohol: Completely avoid alcohol for at least one week before the ceremony, as it impairs the nervous system and can negatively affect the experience.

8. Spicy Foods: Avoid strong spices and chili peppers. These can overstimulate the digestive system and may disrupt the body's energy.

9. Garlic and Onion: Many traditions advise limiting or avoiding garlic and onion, as they are thought to have strong, stimulating energies.

10. Fermented Foods: Limit fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, soy sauce, miso, and vinegar-based products, as these can affect digestion and energy.

11. Drugs: Avoid all recreational drugs (including cannabis) and prescription medications that interact with the nervous system, unless medically required. Especially important if you’re taking SSRIs or MAOIs, as these can dangerously interact with 5-MeO-DMT. Please reach out to us before scheduling a Ceremony if you’re prescribed SSRI’s or MAOI’s

Foods You Can Eat

1. Fresh Fruits and Vegetables: Focus on light, organic fruits and vegetables like apples, pears, berries, spinach, kale, carrots, cucumbers, and zucchini. Raw or lightly steamed is best.

2. Whole Grains: Eat plain grains like brown rice, quinoa, oats, and millet. These are easy to digest and provide steady energy.

3. Legumes: Lentils, beans, and chickpeas are good sources of plant-based protein and are easy on digestion.

5. Nuts and Seeds: In moderation, nuts and seeds like almonds, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds provide healthy fats.

6. Water and Herbal Teas: Drink plenty of water and opt for non-caffeinated herbal teas such as chamomile, peppermint, or ginger.

KAMBO DIET

Preparing for a Kambo ceremony involves following a specific diet and lifestyle guidelines to ensure that your body and mind are clean, balanced, and ready to receive the medicine. Kambo is a powerful cleansing and purging ritual that works on physical, emotional, and energetic levels. Following a dieta helps reduce toxins, clear energy, and promote an optimal experience with the frog medicine. Here is a guide to follow before your Kambo ceremony:

Foods To Avoid ( 3 Days Before the Ceremony)

1. Heavy or Processed Foods: Avoid fast foods, junk food, packaged and processed items, as they contain chemicals, additives, and preservatives that can interfere with the cleansing process.

2. Red Meat: Eliminate beef, pork, lamb, and other red meats, as they are hard to digest and slow down your body’s cleansing process.

3. Dairy Products: Avoid milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, and other dairy items. Dairy can cause mucus buildup and sluggish digestion.

4. Fried and Oily Foods: Limit fried foods and heavy oils (such as butter, deep-fried foods) to reduce the strain on your digestive system.

5. Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least one week before the ceremony. Alcohol interferes with the body’s natural detox process and can negatively impact your experience with Kambo.

6. Caffeine: Eliminate or reduce caffeine intake (from coffee, tea, or energy drinks) to avoid overstimulation of the nervous system. Herbal teas without caffeine are allowed.

7. Sugar: Avoid refined sugars, sugary snacks, sodas, and desserts, as they create inflammation and disrupt energy balance.

8. Drugs: Refrain from using recreational drugs, including cannabis, for at least one week before the ceremony. Certain medications may also need to be paused (consult with a medical professional if you are on medication).

9. Fermented Foods: Avoid fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, soy sauce, and miso. These can affect the detoxification process and the energetic state before Kambo.

10. Salt: Reduce salt intake to allow the body to stay hydrated and improve the effects of detoxification.

11. Drugs: Avoid all recreational drugs (including cannabis) and prescription medications that interact with the nervous system, unless medically required. Especially important if you’re taking SSRIs or MAOIs, as these can dangerously interact with 5-MeO-DMT. Please reach out to us before scheduling a Ceremony if you’re prescribed SSRI’s or MAOI’s
