The word “Ayahuasca” refers to a medicinal and magical drink incorporating two or more distinctive plant species capable of producing profound mental, physical and spiritual effects when brewed together and consumed in a ceremonial setting.
One of these plants is always the giant woody vine called ayahuasca (Banisteriopsis caapi). The other plant or plants combined with ayahuasca generally contain tryptamine alkaloids, most often dimethyltryptamine (DMT). The plants most often used are the leaves of chacruna (Psychotria viridis).
Additional plants may be added to this basic two- or three-plant mixture. One report lists 55 different plant species that have reportedly been used as ayahuasca “admixture plants,” and another lists more than 120. Whatever plants the drink may have in addition to ayahuasca, the drink is still called Ayahuasca.
The video above hits on something I find very interesting. These Shamans of Peru recommend that if 2 months have passed and you haven’t done something ie ayahuasca, mushrooms ect then you absolutely must! It is the way of cleansing the mental, spiritual and physical body and reconnecting back the Earth Mother according to Shamans.
months? i’m well overdue for a medicine doctor’s visit!
