Diplopterys cabrerana (Chaliponga)

Diplopterys cabrerana (Chaliponga) is a plant native to the Amazon Basin, spanning Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. In the Quechua languages it is called chaliponga. In parts of Ecuador it’s known as chacruna — a name that is reserved for Psychotria viridis. Therefore, the two plants have become interchangeable among laypeople, but shamans know the distinct difference between these two plants.

Due to the nature of this plant material, we offer it for external use only as a homeopathic analgesic, as an incense, or as a botanical specimen for those who want the energy of this plant to fill their Shamanic spaces. It is strictly not sold for human consumption.
