SAN PEDRO

San Pedro is a cactus traditionally used for medical and spiritual purposes across South America. Many different cactus species are known under the name of San Pedro, all from the genus Echinopsis. It can be taken as a juice or as a powder dissolved in water.

​

The ritual of San Pedro has been around for over 3,000 years, and this Andean medicine is still used by various peoples across South America. It is an ancestral medicine that opens the heart, connecting us with the feelings of love and acceptance of ourselves and others and giving us a vision of the perfection that can be found in everything. It is also considered a protector of family, marriages and peaceful coexistence, and thus, is often cultivated near homes. In being a cactus, it electromagnetically recalibrates the body, facilitating a state of peace and harmony which allows a state of contemplation. It allows us to see everything through the eyes of love.
