Huaira Caspi
Cedrelinga catenaeformis, tornillo (why-ra cas-pee)
The energy of the Huaira Caspi is light and airy — a gentle breeze that clears the mind and lifts the spirit. Connect with this essence to bring freshness to your thoughts, releasing negative loops and restoring harmony between the heart and mind. Its energetic colour is green, symbolising peace, balance, and relaxation.
We can sometimes become caught in cycles of fearful or negative thinking — revisiting painful memories from the past and projecting them into an uncertain future. In doing so, we lose our connection to the present moment, the only place where true peace can be found. The Huaira Caspi, whose name translates as “air tree,” offers a breath of freshness to calm the senses, clear mental fog, and invite a more relaxed state of being. The head medicine spirit of this tree is an African-looking doctor spirit, a wise healer who works to restore clarity and balance.
Each essence is prepared with its own icaro — a sacred medicine song that carries the healing intention and calls upon the spirit of the tree to infuse its gifts into the remedy.
Other traditional uses
In Quechua, the name Huaira Caspi means “air tree.” Growing up to 40 metres tall, it forms large buttresses at its base and thrives in areas of high jungle and restingas — lands that remain dry when surrounding areas flood with the rising river.
The bark, often macerated with other plants in sugar cane alcohol, is used in traditional medicine to treat cancer. The Kokama tribe burns the bark and applies its ashes to heal wounds, while also using the resin on fractures to support bone healing. The Tikuna tribe applies the resin directly to wounds, and shamans make use of it to treat gastrointestinal issues.
This tree is a sacred teacher plant, worked with for its curative and spiritual qualities. It may be included as part of a shamanic dieta or as an admixture to ayahuasca.
