Piñón Blanco

Piñón Blanco carries a luminous and gentle medicine, often described as a world of pure light filled with intricate patterns and vivid visions. This master plant is traditionally offered to those without a history of drug use and to individuals seeking to open and strengthen their spiritual connection.

Unlike many other master plants, Piñón Blanco is known to contain no shitana (dark energies). Its medicine is considered entirely of the light. Within its spiritual realm dwell benevolent medicine spirits—both masculine and feminine—who guide the dietero in learning and embodying the teachings of Piñón Blanco.

Rather than using the leaves, the resin of Piñón Blanco is given during the dieta. This practice was revealed through a vision to Maestro Ricardo, who received the guidance that the resin holds particular benefit for the human body. Beyond its use in dieta, the resin is traditionally applied topically to support the healing of wounds and skin conditions, and internally for certain cyst-related conditions. Historically, it has also been used in the treatment of illnesses such as yellow fever.

The Piñón Blanco tree also produces a nutrient-rich fruit. When roasted and consumed, the seeds act as a purgative. About a month following this treatment, the body is said to regain strength and healthy weight. This practice is sometimes recommended for those who have completed a long-term dieta and are ready to rebuild and nourish the physical body.
