Ancestral Medicines which are offered at
Arkana Ayahuasca Retreat Centers
Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca (Yagé) is a sacred healing plant of Peru. Many visitors to ayahuasca retreats today seek the powerful healing it is known to bring. It can cure chronic depression, drug addiction, PTSD or alcoholism to physical illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease, psoriasis and even cancer.
san pedro
San Pedro (Huachuma) cactus contains the well-known compound, Mescaline. Psychedelic journeys are similar to Peyote however, San Pedro’s effects are much more gentle and grounding. People report that their experience with is like being held in the loving embrace of an ethereal goddess.
kambo (Frog medicine)
Kambo (frog medicine/venom) is the secretion from the bright green giant monkey frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor—also known as the giant leaf frog) that lives in the north-west area of the Amazon rain forest. Indigenous tribes have used it as a prophylactic against malaria, and also to boost strength and stamina. The frogs are not injured from the collection of their secretions, which are obtained via scraping onto wooden “Kambo sticks”.
nunu (Rape')
Nunu (Rape') is something we are also offering at our centre in the beginning of your Ayahuasca Retreat, and before each ceremony. Nunu is also known as the “Dust of The Elders”. This medicine is native to the Matses tribe and has been used by their people for thousands of years. Its primary ingredient tobacco, which is mixed with macambo nut, cacao, and the barks and leaves of medicinal trees from the Amazon jungle.
Add-On Ceremonies & Expeditions
sapo Toad medicine
Sapo (Bufo) from the Bufo Aavarius toad in the Sonoran desert, has the ingredient (5-MeO-DMT) which is also known as the God or spirit molecule. This short but profoundly healing & intense ceremony offers deeply profound experiences which are said to be comparable to mystical Hindu experiences of Moksha or Buddhist experiences of Samadhi and Nirvana.
Duration: 1 Hour (approx.)
MACHU PICCHU EXCURSION
Visiting Machu Picchu, is a must for all visitors of the Sacred Valley. Considered one of the wonders of the Ancient World, the city of Machu Picchu is probably the greatest feat of architecture of the Incas. As an optional add on for any of your retreats, it's something that shouldn't be missed! The energy of this area can really can add to your healing experience.
Duration: 1 Days (approx.)
plant dietas
Also included in with your retreat, are personal plant Dieta's that our shaman may prescribe for your particular aliment(s) when you are at our center and speak with them. As there are many plants in the Amazon which can heal, and may be better for you.
* PLEASE NOTE THESE EXCEPTIONS:
Guests who are staying more than 1 week at the jungle, might open up to a diet (the shaman offers this in almost 100% of the cases, and it is not offered to the ones staying only 1 week). These guests who will be on a diet, will NOT be taking the second or third Kambo OR Nunu OR Sonoran Desert Toad ceremonies. As they cannot take any other plants/medicines besides Ayahuasca.
We can customize your very own retreat. On your own or separately with a few of your friends, or with a special group, we can arrange that. Or if you would like to arrange special trips in the area during your stay, we are more than happy to try to accommodate you for any occasion or situation.
