Our homoeopathic essences are uniquely handmade by Mimi, a nurse, visionary artist and trained master Amazonian shaman using the sacred trees and plants of the Peruvian jungle. She collects all the ingredients by hand from the Amazon forest to make these powerful remedies.
The remedies are prepared in a traditional shamanic way. Each essence is infused with its own icaro, sacred medicine song; calling forth their doctor spirits, awakening the healing energies of these ancient medicines and unlocking the mystical powers of the forest.
TORTUGA ESSENCE - Duguetia macrophylla, Tortuga caspi (Tor-too-ga)
Sometimes we get wrapped up with all our commitments to the outside world and we forget to connect with our inner world, where our serenity and true wisdom lies. It’s important to create balance between our inner and outer worlds to live a harmonious life, learning how to take care of our emotional and physical needs. The head medicine spirit of this tree is a giant land tortoise. The energy of the tortoise is patient, balanced and productive. Connect to this tree to learn the wisdom of the tortoise in that slowing down and being calm is more conducive to a productive and happy lifestyle. The colour associated with this essence is a light brown colour symbolising the protective nature of the tortoise shell. This colour is unifying and earthy.
This tree is a sacred teacher plant and used by shamans for its curative/spiritual qualities. It can be used as part of a shamanic dieta or as an admixture to Ayahuasca.
