The sacred plant of Tobacco

The tobacco plant is native to America (US, Mexico and some parts of South America), where man knew it about ten thousand years ago.

Since long before the Spaniards arrived in America, the use of tobacco as a medicinal plant was a common thing for the natives, and it was cultivated in different spaces and climates.

Tobacco is sacred, therefore it is very important to respect it, and use it with great responsibility and love. Its properties can help calm thoughts and focus on the present moment and on oneself.

Studying tobacco is the prior preparation to be able to listen to the guide spirits, the spirits of nature and the beings that inhabit other dimensions or planes of consciousness.

The tobacco plant

Tobacco is a plant in the Solanaceae family. There are many varieties of tobacco, but today only two are widely used: Nicotianatabacum and Nicotiana Rústica.

Nicotianatabacum is the species used by the tobacco industry, which chose it for commercial reasons, since being softer and less harsh, it allows consumers to smoke more and at a faster rate.

Nicotiana rustica, is the variety of tobacco used by the tribes of the Amazon, and is a much stronger variety, often containing up to ten times the amount of nicotine than a standard Nicotianatabacum leaf.
