Dieta
A minimum 7–14 day protocol of restrictions before and after a plant medicine ceremony — not about deprivation, but about clarity, safety, and sensitivity to the medicine.
Physical Preparation
Timeline
Serotonergic medications cleared by 6 weeks before; other pharmaceuticals eliminated by 4 weeks before; the full Dieta begins 1 week before; extra rest and cleansing in the 3 days before and after.
Medication restrictions
SSRIs, MAOIs, antihistamines, antipsychotics, opiates, and amphetamines can carry potentially lethal interactions with plant medicine. Anti-depressants must be stopped at least 2–4 weeks before ceremony, always in coordination with your doctor and ours.
