Publisher's summary

The First Ever Account of Dieting the Revered Shamanic Plant Brugmansia aka Toé / Datura

A personal account of the use of the Brugmansia plant commonly known as “Toé,” is revealed. The plant is native of the Peruvian Amazon and the Andes, where it’s highly revered among shamans. Despite its popularity, the ingestion of this plant is surrounded by many justified taboos due to its toxicity and many dangers.

Javier Regueiro worked and studied intensively with this unique Plant Teacher in 2005 for five months, deep in the Amazon, and again in 2019. These experiences have been essential in his shamanic apprenticeship, as well as a profound personal healing and spiritual process. In The Toé/Datura Diaries these experiences are shared in great detail through journal entries from both shamanic dietas - or diet regimen in Spanish, - as well as extensive commentary on those experiences.

Following his first Toé dieta in 2005, Javier Regueiro began working as a plant medicine person and created the Ayaruna Center in Pisac, Peru. Over the last 10+ years he has been offering healing retreats with Ayahuasca and San Pedro / Huachuma plant medicines, both of which he has published books on.

While this book is not intended as a DIY manual for ingesting either the Toé or any other potentially risky plants, it does provide a very detailed overview and intimate glimpse into both the traditional practice of dieting medicinal plants. The commentary and insights provided are designed to avoid common pitfalls and maximize the time and effort invested in the profound healing process plant medicines provide.

This captivating tale presents an honest and vulnerable journey into the wisdom and medicines of the Amazon jungle. The many challenges faced by the author along the way ultimately led to a profound healing and expansion from engaging with this powerful Plant Teacher.

Heart medicine

I met Javier in 2015, we became intermittent pen pals .. tho I never had the chance to sit in ceremony under his leadership. This book is his first I’ve taken in and feel deeply nourished by his candid sharing and revelations along the way. The plant medicine path is a reverent one and full of nitty gritty than has the potential to humble and heal, he captures the essence of this with profound humanity.

Exeptional story of very personal journey

2 years ago at the age of 40 life circumstances invited me to finally engage with a psychoactive plant of Ayahuasca - amazonian plant I heard of since my teenage age that I was strongly attracted to but that I was postponing to try for decades due to the awarness of my own immaturity to handle such a powerful, mind blowing state of mind. When I decided to seek for more information about Ayahuasca plant medicine (right before I was about to ingest it for the first time) I signed up for Audible in order to find some valuable guidance. Despite my deepest fears my first Ayahuasca Ceremony turned out to be just a gentle invitation (from the plant itself) to break out the fear I was carrying for decades... but I must admit - it was at the same time the strongest experience I've ever had so afterwords I felt the need to talk about my psychedelic experience and found even more stories and scientific researches in order to comparr to my own discoveries. Some months later I picked Javier's previous books about Ayahuasca and San Pedro. Both books are very well organized and touches every aspect of the process from making a decision through all the doubts (that your mind may rise along the way) answering your questions in a comprehensive and carying maner and redirecting your fears toward self trust and development of the trust in this plant medicine process. The new book is a beautiful story of self discovery, inner struggles and persuit of understanding of our human nature in the times of collective, social evolution and revolution as we're witnessing a gradual shift towards liberation from past dogmas and rigidness of our masculine or judeo-cristian patriarchal way of thinking. The book shows how puzzeling is to find the ultimate true (that possibly doesn't exist due to its relativeness) as we are all an individual bubbles of complete universes boiling simultaneusly in an ocean of infinite LOVE :) All the 3 books are masterpieces in terms of first hand insides and brings us perfect support (if you are looking for sort of manual or solid preparation). These guidance books are written in as much as possible objective way avoiding all kinds of delusional interpretations we commonly find in this circle of wisdom seekers (like extraterrestrial out of earth experiences with messages and missions given by some alien entities). Very Very Recommended !
