San Pedro Cactus Powder from Peru – ANDEAN WORLD

Healing with San Pedro (Huachuma)

Traditional Medicine

San Pedro has a rich history of sacred shamanic use. It has been used to treat various ailments such as cancer, diabetes, hepatitis, fever, paralysis, problems with joints, high blood pressure, cardiac diseases, burning kidneys, and bladder to name a few. San Pedro is also a powerful antimicrobial that inhibits 18 or more penicillin-resistant bacteria. Why then have these plants not been integrated into western medicine? San Pedro at the very least deserves more attention from the scientific and psycho-medical communities.

But, in addition, the San Pedro cactus is a plant that can help to cleanse the body, since this alkaloid also produces in most cases vomiting and diarrhea that allow the body to cleanse of all the toxins it accumulates. Of course, in that case the effects are unpleasant, however, many people have expressed feeling more relieved after going through this cleaning process.

Contraindications

Do not mix with other substances.

The effects are unpredictable, so it is better to consume it in company of someone else.

You should not take the car under the influence of San Pedro.

Watch out! there are mystics who recommend taking it on a fast because it “purges the body and centers the soul”, but it is not very advisable, especially for a first shot. The effects are much stronger.
