Ayahuasca - The Vine of the Soul
Sacred Medicine
The Most Powerful Teacher Plant
Ayahuasca, known as "the vine of the soul" or "the vine of the dead," is one of the most powerful and respected plant medicines in the Amazon. Used for thousands of years by indigenous peoples, it facilitates deep healing, spiritual insights, and connection with the divine.
Understanding Ayahuasca
What is Ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca is a sacred brew made from two primary plants: the ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) and the chacruna leaf (Psychotria viridis). This combination creates a powerful psychoactive experience that has been used for healing and spiritual growth for millennia.
The Vine
Banisteriopsis caapi contains MAO inhibitors that allow DMT to be orally active, creating the ayahuasca experience.
The Leaf
Psychotria viridis contains DMT, the primary psychoactive compound that produces the visionary experience.
The Brew
Traditional preparation involves hours of boiling both plants together to create the sacred medicine.
