Ayahuasca traditions

Ayahuasca is a traditional psychoactive brew originating from indigenous Amazonian cultures, used in spiritual and healing ceremonies. Made from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and other plants, it contains powerful hallucinogens that induce altered states of consciousness. These ceremonies often involve guided rituals led by experienced shamans, aiming for spiritual insight, emotional healing, and connection with nature or ancestors. Ayahuasca holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for indigenous communities, and its use is often protected and sacred. In recent years, interest has grown globally, prompting discussions about its therapeutic potential and respect for its cultural roots.
