The Shomu Dieta begins with a clear intention — a personal call for healing, purification, or renewal. Each participant is invited to open their heart and align with the spirit of Shomu, the ancient medicine of the Noke Koî people.

Before the dieta, the person follows a simple, salt-free and sugar-free diet to purify the body and calm the mind. This physical and energetic cleansing creates space for the medicine to work deeply.

The pajé opens the dieta with prayers and sacred songs, painting the participant with nane (black body paint) as a symbol of protection. The first Shomu is prepared and offered — marking the beginning of the journey.

Over two to three weeks, the pajé prepares new Shomu doses two or three times per week. The participant remains in silence and introspection, allowing each ceremony to cleanse, release, and transform on deeper levels.

Throughout the process, the pajé and the Noke Koî community provide continuous support and spiritual guidance. The pajé listens, prays, and adjusts the medicine’s strength according to each person’s needs and evolution.

At the end of the dieta, a final ceremony is held to honor the process and give thanks to the forest and the spirits. The participant emerges renewed — with a purified body, a peaceful heart, and a deeper connection to life.
