When you enter the small Thomasville Pharmacy, Amy Greeson will be behind the counter dispensing all the FDA approved medications as required.  If you’re a regular customer, she may greet you with a hug rather than a handshake.  But beneath the bright smile, the hug, and the profession pharmacist is an amazing woman who spends a lot of time canoeing down small Amazon rivulets, climbing mountains, plodding through rain forests and jungles, and spending tens of thousands of her own money in her quest to find medicinal plants and traditional healers throughout the Amazon region.

The shaman started the ceremony with a blessing.

Reciting a prayer in his Andean dialect, he made the sign of the cross with his hand. Thomasville native Amy Greeson stood before him, unafraid. She traveled across the Atlantic Ocean and below the equator for this experience.

The shaman placed rose petals into the palm of his hand, then mixed them with oil. He dipped his index finger into the mixture, then made the sign of the cross on her forehead.

Finally, he blew smoke from a cigarette several times into the crown of Greeson's head. Some call this area the "crown chakra," and it's believed to be the body's energy center.
