More than a manual of natural medicine, this is a compelling testimony of the healing power of Peruvian plants as told by native healers. Plants as rare as the ayahuasca and as common as tobacco, are studied in detail for their ability to restore wellness to the body and the mind. Readers are revealed the secrets of ancestral medicine, and taught practical ways to use these unknown remedies effectively, as an alternative to traditional medicine.

Elixir de los dioses es uno de los escasos libros acerca de las medicinas tradicionales del Perú. A caballo entre el trabajo de campo, el estudio fotográfico, el ensayo, la entrevista y el relato de viaje, el texto se centra en las tres grandes áreas culturales y antropológicas del país: la costa, la sierra y la selva. A través de la narración de los propios actores, el libro despliega de una forma muy amena, con rigor científico y empatía antropológica, el testimonio de diferentes chamanes o curanderos que utilizan las plantas sagradas -como el ayahuasca o el tabaco- para sanar dolencias del cuerpo y del alma. Sus relatos aportan una valiosísima contribución sobre la medicina ancestral y ofrecen fórmulas para generar un uso consciente de los remedios sagrados. Elixir de los dioses constituye un testimonio único sobre unas tradiciones que se están transformando a gran velocidad.
