Ayahuasca is a sacred plant and brew. It’s medicinal and diagnostic effects have been utilized by Curanderos in over 72 Mestizo and indigenous groups throughout the Amazon. These “non-medical” healers work to relieve ones sickness, malady and soul with the sacred brew. Ayahuasca is made from the vine Banesteriopsis Caapi and the Chacruna leaf Psychotria viridis containing one of the most powerful hallucinogens known to man DMT N-dimethyltryptamine. Ayahuasca is a powerful medicine that is said to be able to transport you to other worlds where one encounters spirits and intense visual images. Ultimately, the medicine works in a way that heals: from relieving stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders to in some reported cases curing physical ailments, illness and disease. Many practitioners and westerners that work with the brew also say that the medicine improves their lives and relationships as they are able to see things in a different way after working with the medicine. And, although drinking Ayahuasca is a class 1 felony in the US, it has also been used successfully to treat alcoholism and drug addiction.
