However, when used in Amazonian herbalist traditions that deal with the more powerful and often reality-altering and visionary varieties of plants known as plantas maestras or teacher-plants, the word comes to mean much more than that. It then describes dietary and behavioral regimens that allow one to move most safely and effectively into working relationships with such plants. These relationships can bring about profound transformations, and the dietas are designed to best facilitate them.
Its consumption was limited mainly to medicinal, ritual, and sacred contexts. Few plants are as important to South American shamanism and traditional Amazonian medicines as tobacco.
