A spineless cactus from the Lophophora Williamsii family, or Hikuri, native to northern Mexico. Its use among the Mara’kame of the Wixarica (Huichol) people dates back thousands of years, governing all aspects of daily and religious life, the agricultural calendar, as well as festivals and customs through ceremonies. For over 5,000 years, it has been used in traditional medicine as a powerful diagnostic tool and, on a spiritual level, as a harmonizer of spirits, a protector of family, marriage, and peaceful coexistence.

Bufo alvarius, a renowned ancestral medicine obtained from the glands of the toad found in northern Mexico, is valued in alternative medicine practices for its high efficacy in treating addictions as well as harmful emotional and behavioral patterns. Kambo, on the other hand, a medicine popularly known as a “natural vaccine,” comes from the skin secretions of the Phyllomedusa bicolor, a tree frog found in the Amazon rainforest. Its application induces a deep cleansing of the body and soul, strengthening the immune system.

The ceremonial use of this traditional Amazonian medicinal beverage, known as “yagé” or “spirit rope,” accompanied by music and chants, produces states of deep relaxation and is recognized in the treatment of depression and post-traumatic stress, among others.
