It is not possible to separate Amazonian medicine from its strong relationship with shamanic spirituality, as well as the concepts of Arutam and Tao, which are identical. Trust in Arutam and its manifestation in nature is so deep among the peoples of the Amazon that they have expanded their cosmivision to the art of healing. Everything springs from Arutam, everything lives in its sacred caress, health is the intensity's full force of its touch within us. Whoever forgets this and resists in the frustration of his ego, generates a feeling that is more hermetic every day that cracks with each wound. It is only a matter of time for the flow of Life to alter that body until it becomes ill.

The art of healing in Shamanism proposes the use of medicinal plants, diets, rest, advice and meditation to regain awareness of balance with Nature and Spirit. When this is not enough to recover the intensity of the Sacred Touch, tradition usually resorts to the use of its sacred plants (or power plants), to deepen the search for the harmony of the ultimate feeling. Doctors (Shamans) helped in this process and promoted its effect through the transmission of their feeling (power). The art of the fan, songs, incantations, blowing, etc., helped to blur the shadow and regain a state of harmony with Life.
