An in-home plant dieta is a spiritual healing journey undertaken in the safety and comfort of your own home under the remote guidance of a trained healer & guide, in order to facilitate profound release and personal/spiritual growth.

The In-Home Dieta is designed, based on ancient Amazonian protocols followed by indigenous shamans to facilitate deep communion with nature and oneself, while respecting daily commitments and disciplining oneself in self-care & spiritual practice.

Traditionally, a plant dieta would involve retreating into isolation within the Amazon rainforest under the guidance of a maestro curandero (shamanic healers) or completely alone, bathing in natural waters, drinking plant remedies for healing, braving the elements, and living like a monk, using the mild stressors of a restrictive diet, disciplined spiritual practice and isolation as stimulators for breakthrough experiences.

However, recognizing that not everyone is ready to leave their lives behind for weeks or months at a time, due to a variety of lifestyle choices, many curanderos have modified this approach to fit into the framework of modern life, to allow patients and students of the plants to be able to reap the benefits of this ancient practice, which has yielded great blessings for centuries amongst indigenous tribes.

In modern Amazonia, where many populations have been urbanized or have adapted to living in village settings, the people have adapted traditional plant medicine protocols to work within their current circumstances, because no matter where one lives, all are deserving of healing. Avatar Apothecary’s founder, Maestro Brother Bear is on a mission to help as many people as he can learn to receive the blessings of the plants, so that they may restore their connection with mother earth, and step into their power as channels and guardians of the sacred knowledge of our beautiful earth mother. He believes that each being can be a channel for this wisdom.
