WHAT IS AYAHUASCA?
Ayahuasca from Quechua, which means ‘rope of the dead,’ is the name indicated by the Andean indigenous tribes to refer to a type of liana that grows in the Amazon; this is part of a concoction of different herbs with psychedelic effects, which has been used for millennia and carries this very name.
This blend is characterized by its composition, which contains harmine and derivatives of tryptamines such as N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), molecules that are part of psychedelic phenomena, altered state of consciousness, introspection, spiritual ecstasy, among others.
It has been used for religious and spiritual purposes by the ancient Amazonian tribes. Currently, shamans are also used to treat different diseases, boiling the leaves in water and giving them to the patient to drink.

The Ayahuasca infusion enters the body. The Banisteriopsis caapi branches inhibit the enzymes in our stomach, responsible for deactivating the DTM to avoid a strong impact that causes them to reach the blood system.
