Cleansing and Uplifting with Nature's Fragrances
Shipibo therapies treat both your physical and energetic perfume...
In Shipibo traditional medicine, perfume is called Inin and is considered to exist in both material and energetic form.
We each have our own Inin, which can be easily contaminated by congestive food, medications, substances and other toxins. Cleansing and revitalizing your Inin to enhance your physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing is a core focus of Shipibo shamanic healing.
This begins with purifying your body with a clean food diet and gentle aromatic plant medicine teas. To more deeply enhance your physical and energetic Inin, Shipibo shamans work with Ayahuasca, healing song Icaros, flower baths and perfumes, and Master Plant Dieta practice.
Master Plant Dieta is a potent Shipibo healing treatment to deeply revitalize both your physical and energetic perfume (Inin).

Perfume or Inin is an essential concept in Shipibo shamanism. For us in the West, we tend to think only of the material aspect of aromas – as molecules travelling in the air. But for master Shipibo shamans (Onánya), the energetic and spiritual realms are full of the expressions of different energetic perfumes. An essential focus of Shipibo healing treatment is to deeply cleanse and aromatize your personal Inin.
When we are sick, or have physical or energetic contamination in our bodies, our Inin becomes unclean. This unclean energy can affect our psychological, emotional and spiritual health, making it more challenging to feel clear and positive in life. Thankfully, the fresh, life-giving aromas of many Amazonian plant medicines have immense healing power. Master Shipibo shamans hold the keys to access this healing power and profoundly purify and uplift our Inin – both physically and energetically.
We’re all familiar with the physically enlivening quality of many fragrances. We experience this by simply smelling a flower or crushed herb. Master Onánya shamans carry special shamanic vision which allows them to also perceive the energetic nature of these Inin. Through many years of Dieta practice, Onányas develop an in-depth appreciation of the unique Inin expression and specific healing power of each Master Plant.
During your Ayahuasca Retreat our shamans will assess your energy in Ayahuasca Ceremony. They will then recommend a variety of plant medicine treatments to improve both your physical and energetic perfume, including Dieta with Master Plants chosen just for you.

The existence of an energetic reality beyond this physical reality is an essential truth of life for Shipibo shamans (Onányas).
Cleansing and perfuming your energy
Energetic & physical worlds
Purifying what goes into your body
“Your body is a temple” is a way of life for Shipibo shamans. Food, medications or substances can have a huge impact on our energetic state, as can the energy of other people and places we visit.
Perfuming with flowers, plants & treatment
Flower baths and perfumes made with aromatic and medicinal plants, Ayahuasca with healing song Icaros, and Master Plant Dieta – can all deeply cleanse and enhance your energetic perfume.
Physical purification improves Inin
With clean food, fasting, aromatic teas and plant purgatives
Flower of Azucena plant medicine purgative
The first step in preparing to work with plant medicines is to clean up our food diet. What we ingest has a major impact on the quality of the energetic perfume or Inin of our bodies. This is a key reason that Shipibo shamans (Onányas) follow such strict food diets. In particular an Onánya will never eat pork, as it is seen to be intensely contaminating to the energetic perfume of the body.
By eating more fresh fruit and vegetables and reducing our intake of meat, dairy or other congestive foods, we can purify and enhance our Inin. Fasting from time to time can also be helpful. Drinking aromatic teas, such as lemongrass (hierba luisa), basil (albahaca), or cinnamon (canela), also brings the fragrant healing energy of these plants into our blood, saliva and organs.
For a more intensive physical purification during your Ayahuasca Retreat, you may be prescribed a vomitivo with a purgative plant such as azucena, albahaca or piñon blanco. Such purification treatments are non-psychoactive but work to strongly cleanse your digestive tract and deeply infuse the fresh plant medicine aromas in your body.

There are numerous energetic cleansing treatments in Shipibo shamanism focused on improving your energetic perfume (or Inin). During an Ayahuasca Retreat at Caya Shobo, your personalized treatment includes the following:
Ayahuasca Ceremony with Shipibo healing song Icaros: Ayahuasca can be a powerful energetic cleanser when approached with knowledge and care. It is crucial to be guided by highly experienced and high-integrity master Onánya shamans, such as those we work with. Their healing song Icaros can guide Ayahuasca to deeply clear your energy and enfold you in the life-giving energetic perfumes of the Master Plants.
Perfumes, flower baths and/or vapor baths: These are frequently used in Shipibo shamanism to enhance your energetic perfume. Made with a gorgeous, aromatic blend of freshly minced leaves and flowers, perfumes and flower baths are mixed with alcohol or water and then poured or blown over the crown of your head or your entire body. Specially-focused preparations may be made to target specific problems, such as easing nervous tension, clearing sadness and loss, improving dreams, expelling invasive energies, re-aligning your Dieta energies, or bringing protection.
Dieta practice with Master Plants: In Shipibo shamanism the deepest and most lasting energetic treatment to improve the perfume of your body, mind and spirit is Master Plant Dieta. This practice gradually fosters an essential energetic connection between you and the Master Plants, and their Inin slowly but surely infuses all aspects of your being.
During your Ayahuasca Retreat at Caya Shobo you will have the opportunity to experience all of these energy cleansing treatments, personalized to your unique healing needs, in the way of the traditional Shipibo shamans.

How to make your own energy-cleansing flower bath...
Flower baths for cleansing your energetic perfume in daily life or after Ayahuasca Ceremony are made by mashing a blend of aromatic plants in a bucket of water. Try blowing an intentional prayer into it. Then slowly pour it over your head or entire body.
In the Amazon, aromatic plants such as albahaca, rosa sisa, canela (cinnamon) and ajo sacha are often used in flower baths. In other parts of the world we recommend gentle aromatic leaves and flowers such as lavender, basil, daisies, wild rose or cedar. Don’t include anything too pungent. Fresh flowers are best (although dried will do). Skin-safe essential oils and/or natural perfumes may also be added.
At our Ayahuasca Retreats you have the opportunity to make flower baths together with our natural remedy specialist.
