Ayahuma Tree Dieta at Our Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru
The Ayahuma tree—an important master plant in Amazonian healing traditions—is revered for its ability to cleanse, strengthen, and realign both the body and spirit. Maestro Reshin Nika works with this Master Plant in dieta’s with guests at his Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru outside Pucallpa. An Ayahuma dieta offers a deeply transformative process of purification, energetic clearing, and spiritual awakening. Below is an overview of what guests may experience when working with this powerful Amazonian tree. Ayahuma is regarded by the maestro curanderos as an immensely grounding master plant that can help the dietero to gain resilience and wisdom through releasing past trauma and stored emotion. The common name of this tree is composed of the Quechua words AYA – ‘dead’, and HUMA – ‘head’ , which refers to the shape of the fruits.
Deep Physical & Spiritual Purification
• Physical Cleansing
During an Ayahuma dieta, guests follow a simple, clean diet to prepare the body to receive the plant’s wisdom. This typically includes light foods such as rice, vegetables, and certain plant-based meals while avoiding salt, sugar, oils, alcohol, and spices. This purification allows the Ayahuma medicine to work more effectively and helps detoxify the system.

Ayahuma is known for bringing old emotional patterns, traumas, or stagnant energies to the surface so they can be released. Though sometimes intense, these purges clear space for new clarity, strength, and balance.
