Chuchuhausi is one of the Master Teacher plants used in dietas. It is used to enter the spirit realm, especially if drank before bed.

Directions:
For Bath: To relieve pain or treat skin conditions.
As a seasoning, especially in rum.
For Tea: Boil 8 oz water, add 1 teaspoon of the loose herbs (you can use a tea ball, french press, or other way to strain herbs or leave them in the tea for a super strong brew), steep 10 to 15 minutes, drink hot. Sweeten with a natural sweetener if desired. Nurture your body with 1 to 3 cups of tea a day.For tincture: Add half a cup (100 grams) to 4 cups of preferred alcohol (vodka, rum, brandy) or vinegar. Let set 7 days or more. You can scale the recipe down, but be sure to use a container that you're filling up to the rim to prevent mold.
Take a sip 3 times a day. It's okay to add the tincture to a bit of juice to make it easier to drink. I suggest hold your breath and chug it and have a chaser ready.
