Wachuma, Aguacoya Flower Essence
Summer 2024

It is with tears in my eyes that this essence is shared. it’s finally here!

Wachuma is a very old species of cactus that comes to us from the Andes mountains. Various cultures from Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Chile have traditionally called upon its properties and spirit. Due to spiritual tourism entering into mainly Peru for ceremonial expeditions and experiences, (like many Master Plants) wild Wachuma has dramatically decreased in populations. The vast majority of "material" made from these cacti are from wild stands that are not being replenished. Locals are not paid well for their efforts in harvesting and processing either. Much of the "material" coming out of Cusco is illegally poached and potentially mixed with other plants. You can follow Huachuma Collective to support restoration and education efforts.

I truly love this plant, it has brought me profound h e a l i n g. However, I choose to not be a part of the issue in extracting plants in a negative way. Thankfully this beautiful fast-growing cacti grows very well in other areas, and many people have started growing their own stands. This is how I share this magnificent essence with you now.

Wachuma Flower Essence has a unique ability to bring order to chaos. Frazzled mind? Feeling nervous or anxious? Body uncomfortable? This essence has helped me pinpoint where those sensations are coming from, what is the root. From there I can put my discomfort into perspective and tend to it. I call it the Great Equilizer, as it promotes a tangible harmony of thoughts, emotions, and actions. For me, this has been my most potent essence. I’ve also found it to make me feel very stabilized, centered, present, and clear. It’s helpful for boundaries as well, showing us what will truly help harmonize our inner landscape. (Do you need more movement to feel embodied? Do you need to artistically express yourself? Do you need something to stroke your intellectual fire?) Wachuma Flower Essence might be a powerful ally for you.

*Essences are a way to work with these potent visionary plants in integratabtle, sustainable, and more gentle ways. These ceremonial experiences can really lead us into confusion when they aren’t guided appropriately. Flower Essences however are SAFE and for me, amazingly effective. They are solely energetic in nature. NO PHYSICAL CONSTITUENTS. I have an immense amount of respect for what we call Master Plants: plants that contain constituents that can take us on visionary journeys and give us profound healing experiences. I do not take this lightly, that I am able to offer this essence (and many others), and I do believe it is a great privilege for me to be able to share it with a wider community. With that being said, with all the Master Plant Essences, I will be donating a portion of what I make to our teachers in Peru (and beyond) where many of these essences are collected and where we have grown our relationships to healers, the actual plants, and living traditions that carry them in an integral and traditional way.

**Much of the experiences advertised in many circles are not in genuine right relationship to cultures, the plants, and native landscapes, and for those reasons I do not advocate for someone going on those journeys. Seek an authentic teacher who has true lineage and integrity, please.

Working with Flower Essences is a call for personal ritual. Create a time of intentional interaction with these Essences. For example, try to curate your schedule to where you can have a moment of stillness to invite the essences into your body. It’s best to not be dropping these emotional allies into your mouth while running out of the door, watching tv, tackling your to-do list. Instead, try to take even just 5-10 minutes to really be with the essence in stillness. Having a journal to log what comes up for you can be really helpful. Taking flower essences right before bed invites the flowers to communicate through dreams, so track your nighttime adventures in your journal too. Taking a flower essence with the intention of being creative can be really revealing as well!

Dosage recommendation is 4 drops 4 x / day, or how ever you feel fitting for your situation. 

Remember, these are emotional and energetic medicines (essences) and are in no way meant to replace professional medical or psychological aid. 
You can put the drops directly into your mouth or into water and drink. 
Essences can also be absorbed through the skin, so you can add them to a bath, on your wrist, on in a fragrance mist.

We do not touch the flowers when we are making the essences, so you are getting purely the essence of the flowers.
Remember, these are NOT fragrance oils or extractions. This is a DILUTED ESSENCE, there are absolutely NO active alkaloids present. This is not any sort of "micro dilution" either.
