Ancient Medicine

Evidence suggests that humans have been growing N. Rustica in South America for perhaps 8,000 years, making it one of the earliest cultivated plants. Its leaves contain more than eight percent nicotine (far stronger than the species used in commercial cigarettes), as well as psychoactive alkaloids that engender visionary states.

Across the New World, indigenous people honour the way tobacco brings clarity, strength, and protection. Tobacco is said to ground human energy, cleaning our physical and energetic bodies from blockages and traumatic imprints. It calms and strengthens, cultivating a sense of decisiveness and resilience. It’s ingested in many forms in order to heal, to learn, and to protect.
