Contraindications from an Amazonian plant healer’s perspective: When a patient or apprentice is working with a medicinal plant, it is preferable to not take any other substances. This may cause and interference with the plant’s energy and provoke unwanted reactions. Certain drugs and medications have been found to not be compatible with some medicinal plants. It is essential to stop taking the substances listed in this document and give your system sufficient time to remove them from the body before you begin a program. We will provide advice on how to proceed during your booking process. Please consult your doctor if you are in any doubt. You should not stop taking prescribed medications without consulting your doctor.
