Osha Dieta
Your wildrcrafted Osha roots and honeyed Osha come from two sources which are
concerned and careful about it's sustainability. Osha is an endangered plant and can be
overharvested. Our suppliers are good stewards of the land and adhere to good planetary
husbandry.

Your dieta medicine of the raw roots are to be made lovingly into a tea (see below) which
will be consumed each evening for for days. Meditate first with the roots as long as you
like, get to know them, feel them, they are alive with medicine. Take some of the roots
to use as incense, the smell is divine. Sing, drum, talk to them, put your intent into them,
honor them as a welcome part of you, receive them as your teacher. If you like ritual,
do a ritual with them, let them tell you what they want, trust your imagination, allow the
spirit of the plant to guide you. It may feel like you are making it up if the plant "talks"
to you but the spirit of the plant is living and desires to help you in ways you may not
yet know so open your imagination. Keep a journal, sketch pad, post on the blog site to
speak of your experiences, dreams and discuss them with other dieters or us please.
Everyone will receive their plant medicine at different times so on the day and time the
plants arrive, begin the dieta protocol at that time. Please be ready for this by way of
having appropriate foods purchased, by having your personal life and routine organised
as best you can to support this dieta integrating into your body. Remember, keep
yourself to yourself as much as possible during the 8 days of the strict part of the dieta
and stay mindful that during the rest of the month this will be a good time to focus on
yourself as much as possible. Not a good time to embark on anything too adventurous,
new, demanding, stressful including time with family or relationships which challenge
you. Just say you are retreating for your health or spirit.
Tea Instructions:
When your plants arrive, break them up as small as you are able and add about a quart
of pure water to them, put them on the stove top and bring just to a boil then immediately
turn the pot down to low and leave them steep on the lowest heat for about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat, leave roots in the brew. If it is time to drink when you make the tea,
pour a cup for yourself. leave to cool and put in a covered pitcher in the fridge to prevent
fermentation.
At 4pm (traditionally) can be later if work schedule requires, take yourself into a quiet
place with a cup of the Osha Medicine brew (can be heated before drinking if you like as
it is a lovely tea) if you feel so inclined, sing, drum, play music, bless your connection
to the plant, receive it into your body with respect, love, openess and reverance. You
cannot do it wrong. If you have nothing to sing, just speak or whisper your intent and
willingness to connect but always be open to receiving guidance. Drink tea 4 days only,
then continue with strict dieta protocol (see below) for 8 days total.
Dietary Protocol
Avoid all salt, alcohol, vinegar, caffeine, animal fat, sweets or sugars (including all fruit
but apples and lemon), red meat, dairy, strongly spiced foods for 8 days (also abstain
from sex for the 8 days). Foods without salt can be very disappointing to the palette.
Be prepared to have strong emotional withdrawals from food if you are a real foody.
Keeping the dieta will be worth it.
Eggs have a little salt, grilling fish or chicken creates a slight salt flavor, organic celery
and potato broth replenishes mineral salts if you must exert physically during the dieta
Lemon juice and olive oil on vegetables is delicious, toasted seeds and raw nuts in small
amounts are good and add flavor (go easy on heavy foods) ½
During these cold winter months, oatmeal, squash, apples, sprinkled with nuts can be
warming, cooked quinoa with vegetables, boiled or grilled green plaintains, will have
satisfying texture though I won't fib and say food without salt is good but the more you
diet, the easier it gets..
On the morning of the 8th day you will wake and swish the prepared salt in your mouth
for 60 seconds, spit it out with gratitude and from this point on the strict part of the diet is
over.
After 8 days all dietary restrictions lifted except for sex, alcohol and pork and refined
sugars which are to be avoided for the full 30 days. (some couples have permission for
the practice of sacred sexuality in the Osha dieta but this must be cleared first with Kellee
or Craig)
As a good rule of thumb eat foods which would make good compost (no fruit besides say
½ apple, a little lemon juice for flavor, small amount of avocado, say 1/2 per day, cooked
green plaintain wh not really a fruit), no prepared foods or condiments.
Go easy on medicinal teas during your dieta. Ask the Osha what plants it harmonizes
with. It is not be good to complicate the energy of the Osha with any other medicinal
plants or vitamin supplements during the first 7 days.
Sexual Restrictions:
established loving partnerships may be honored sexually after the initial 8 days of strict
protocol providing partner is willing to dedicate all sex and lovemaking to the dieta as
part of it. First 8 days mean no sexual contact, french kissing etc The sacrifice of your
sexual expression will potentize your dieta. If Osha directs you otherwise where you do
feel you ought restrict sex altogether, honor this. The Osha will be specific in speaking
to you about the details around sacred love making and sexuality. Please no new
partnerships (and you may be found very attractive to others during your dieta so watch
out, don't be seduced!) and no fantasy masturbation or sexual fantasy when with your
partner. If the plant takes you on a journey into your sexuality and it is medicine for you,
go but don't get lost, you are being taught wisdom, how to turn your lovemaking into
medicine, so focus on this wisdom through your lovemaking rather than unconcious
pleasure in sexual energy, keep this protocol as very very important until the dieta is
over. If you are too tired to focus on being totally concious to each other and the
medicine, skip it. This is a good time to explore tantric forms of love with orgasmic
abstinence. Please keep record of the sexual teachings you receive from the plant. This
is new territory in the realm of dieta, to tread carelessly here could mean feeling some
insanity so take this VERY seriously. We are pioneering a whole new dieta movement
by opening up the space for our sexual medicine to be a part of the teaching so I want
you all to feel comfortable sharing this for the betterment of others, the enrichment of
love between people, the wisdom of the medicine of the erotic with the plants. I feel this
dieta marks the end of self conciousness and outdated puritanical thinking making
sexuality tabu in spiritual practices. Think about it, plants are able to show their
nakedness and embark in reproduction in public, surely they are the very best teachers of
how to live our lives today in love! This is important to be taken at the level of highest
holiness, not piety or prudish, holiness, sacredness, like sacrement. Call if confused ok?
We have had tremendous reports from our couples after this. The sexual permission will
not be allowed in all the dietas so please make note that this is specific to the Osha.
