Nihue Rao is the center’s namesake, and a sacred master plant to Maestro Ricardo. It connects a dieter deeply to the powerful spirits of the Shipibo medicine and teaches knowledge of the cosmos, divine light, peace, and love.
Dieting Nihue Rao is not for healing, it is solely for learning all types of medicine. However, dieting Nihue Rao will change the dieter’s life by arranging the dieter’s thoughts and opening the dieter’s mind and heart. The world of Nihue Rao has many lights, colors, patterns, and spirits of the medicine. The world also has many towns with beautiful flags within them, including Shipibo villages.
In the Shipibo language, Nihue refers to “air” or “wind” and Rao means “medicine” — as such, the air of Nihue Rao is strong and can make the dieter tremble at times.
Through dieting Nihue Rao, one can also be connected to Noya Rao, an enchanted tree that can no longer be found on this Earth, but can be dieted through a shaman who is spiritually connected to Noya Rao. Noya Rao means “flying medicine” in Shipibo. Noya Rao is well connected to God, and those who diet Noya Rao will be as well.
Nihue Rao (and Noya Rao) are only available to advanced dieters and shamanic apprentices who wish to study shamanism, become spiritual Maestros, and help others to heal.
