A Huachuma cactus ceremony in Cancun invites you to dive deep into yourself with medicine from the cactus known as “San Pedro”. Currently known as Echinopsis pachanoi in scientific literature, is a tall columnar cactus (up to 20 feet), light green, nocturnal flowering, almost spineless, native to the Cordillera of the Andes. The goal of a Huachuma ceremony is to allow you to bloom and to open like the flower of the San Pedro cactus.
San Pedro has a rich history of shamanic sacred use. It has been used to treat various ailments such as cancer, diabetes, hepatitis, fever, paralysis, joint problems, high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney and bladder burning, to name a few.These sacred cacti, like other indigenous entheogens, are miracle plants. San Pedro has also been observed to cure drug addiction and alcoholism.
