The purpose of this thesis was to describe the system of healing practiced in the Amazonian community, Céu do Mapiá, as perceived by the healers of this community themselves. This community is the mother church for the Santo Daime religion, which is centered on the sacramental use of the Amazonian entheogen commonly known as ayahuasca. This study utilized a set of parameters that the National Institute of Health (NIH) Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM) developed to describe systems of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Archival data, from a review of the relevant literature; and from the author's personal experience, were applied to these parameters to describe this system of healing. The resulting description of this system of healing was found to meet the NIH OAM’s parameters for CAM systems. Further research is important due to the system's unique eclectic nature, and the rare resources that this culture is preserving in a fragile environment.
