Wachuma (also known as San Pedro cactus) is a sacred Andean plant medicine traditionally used by Indigenous cultures of Peru and surrounding regions for thousands of years. Revered as a teacher and healer, wachuma is often associated with heart-opening, emotional clarity, and deep connection to nature, ancestry, and the spiritual realm.
Unlike faster-acting entheogens, wachuma is known for its gentle, expansive, and grounding presence. Its teachings are often described as subtle yet profound, inviting patience, reflection, and embodied awareness. Many people experience a sense of unity, compassion, and insight into personal or collective patterns, alongside heightened sensory perception and emotional openness.
