From a thousand years ago the Indians use it for their purposes Medicines but also to get in touch with the spirit world (to cure a sick person, know if the hunt will be good, know the weather.). In indigenous communities, tobacco was forbidden to ordinary people because it could kill. At the beginning this plant was only used by shamans or priests as a ceremonial plant. Those who used Tobacco were called “the one who eats the Tobacco” (Ashaninka) because it was considered as a food for the spirit or also “the one who blows the Tobacco” (Aguarunas).
