FAQ
Here you will find all the answers to the questions we receive most frequently.
What is ayahuasca and what ingredients does it contain?
Ayahuasca is a medicine that unfolds its effects not only on a physical but also on a psychological level in the brain. Although it is often mistakenly referred to as a drug, it is in fact a shamanic healing art that is becoming increasingly well-known internationally. This may be due not least to the fact that ayahuasca offers the possibility of curing depression, psychosis or other mental illnesses. An ayahuasca experience reveals paths that would possibly never arise in conventional therapy.
The ingredients of ayahuasca medicine are made up of two different herbal components – caapi (the ayahuasca root or liana) and chacruna. Chacruna, which contains DMT, is responsible for the psychoactive effect of ayahuasca. While DMT as an endogenous substance is generally broken down very quickly, the ayahuasca plant caapi with MAO inhibitors ensures that the breakdown of DMT is slowed down during the ayahuasca ceremony.
However, the special thing about ayahuasca tea are not the ingredients, but the unique consciousness of the ayahuasca, whose spirit can gradually be transferred to your body.
How do I prepare for an ayahuasca ceremony?
The most important thing when preparing to take ayahuasca is to have a positive mindset! However, there are also further recommendations for preparing for an ayahuasca ceremony. These include a diet in which you avoid lactose and meat for at least 3 days prior to your ceremony, as these foods are somewhat heavier on the stomach. This category also includes spicy food such as onions, citrus fruits and garlic. Take these recommendations into account so that you feel well during your ayahuasca ceremony. You should not consume any strong drugs or marijuana for at least a week prior to the ceremony. It is best to avoid any kind of sexual intercourse in the days leading up to your ceremony, as this creates an energy exchange. When the wisdom of the medicine receives you, you want to be surrounded by your own aura. This way, the effect of the ayahuasca plant will unfold its full power to you.
Are you taking antidepressants or do you have heart or respiratory problems? Then please consult your doctor before your ayahuasca ceremony. Only they can assess whether taking ayahuasca is dangerous for you or whether side effects may occur.
If you follow these preparations, you will be ready for your ayahuasca experience and this is your sign that you should finally book your ayahuasca trip.
How much does ayahuasca cost and where can you buy it?
Under no circumstances should you buy ayahuasca and consume it alone. There are several important reasons for this. Ayahuasca is generally not freely available for sale and is not even offered commercially. Of course, you should never obtain it illegally on the black market. Apart from the fact that this is illegal anyway, it can also be very dangerous to consume ayahuasca of unknown origin without professional supervision. For example, the ayahuasca could also be stretched with other substances, and it is not possible for laymen to reliably assess the effects of a tea made from the ayahuasca plant. The preparation of the plant brew is a real challenge and should therefore only be carried out by knowledgeable shamans. A responsible shaman knows his own home-made ayahuasca medicine very well and can guide and support you during your ayahuasca experience if, for example, you experience intense spiritual experiences and emotions during your ceremony.
Here you can book an ayahuasca ceremony with competent and responsible shamans and find out about the associated costs. Or perhaps an entire ayahuasca journey or retreat is just what is right for you.
