How To Prepare For Ayahuasca – The Plant Medicine With The Power To heal?

How to prepare for ayahuasca

I have always been intrigued by the powerful medicine they call Ayahuasca. It is described as a plant medicine with the power to heal. 

It is said to have been used by the indigenous people of the Amazon for many years, a powerful plant combination which is a gift from mother nature for both spiritual and physical healing. 

Ayahuasca is a powerful brew made from the stalks of the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the leaves of the Psychotria viridis shrub.

It is that combination alone that absolutely blows my mind as to how these indigenous people worked out how these plants 🍃 when placed together, would interact to create a powerful medicine that can be used to heal physical and emotional wounds. 

As a naturally occurring tryptamine, DMT is present in the human body and many plants. When consumed, DMT is not orally active due to its natural state as an inhibitor. The ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) contains an MAOI inhibitor that prevents the DMT from being broken down by stomach acid. 

The Chacruna leaf contains a chemical called Psychotria Viridis. This chemical helps to open up blood vessels and promote feelings of well-being. It also helps to increase the effects of DMT in the body.

Combined with the leaves of the Psychotria Viridis shrub, which contains high levels of DMT, the two work together to create an Ayahuasca brew that is traditionally used in shamanic ceremonies. 

The MAO in the ayahuasca vine allows the DMT in the Chacruna leaf to be absorbed into the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier, resulting in powerful hallucinations.

An Ayahuasca retreat is not for everyone, but if you are called to it, it can be a life-changing experience. If you are considering taking ayahuasca, it is important to do your research and prepare for the experience. Here are some things to keep in mind when preparing for ayahuasca:

1. Set your intention. What do you hope to gain from the experience?

2. Find a reputable shaman or facilitator.

3. Be prepared for intense emotions and physical sensations.

In this post, we will look at the history of Ayahuasca and how best to prepare for ayahuasca ceremonies; I’ll also break down what a Shaman is for those that don’t know and why integration is so important after your experience. 

Plant Medicine Ayahuasca A Brief History

Ayahuasca, a plant medicine, also commonly known as la purga, the tea or the vine. Is a key part of shamanic practice. The ayahuasca traditions have been passed down from generation to generation and continue to be practised today.

The word ayahuasca is translated as “vine of the soul” and refers to the vine that is brewed in preparation for consumption. It has been used traditionally for healing, divination and spiritual purification.

Some say that one ceremony with ayahuasca is equivalent to years of therapy, but you must do your research beforehand.

What Is A Shaman

Shamans are often called upon to heal the sick, perform ceremonies, and offer guidance. A shaman may have a special relationship with the animal world. This can be very helpful in healing others and making decisions. The spirits of the animals or other natural forces will help guide the shaman when he or she needs to make important choices.

For many, the work with ayahuasca is a spiritual practice that can lead to personal growth and transformation.

The Dieta

A strict ayahuasca diet helps to create a sacred space within the individual so that they may receive the most benefit from the experience. There are a few different dietary restrictions that are typically followed before drinking Ayahuasca.

For example, it is recommended to abstain from drinking alcohol, avoid eating red meat, pork, and poultry as they are believed to contain negative energies.

The best way to prepare for an ayahuasca ceremony is to eat a light diet of fruits and vegetables for a few days prior. You should avoid eating meat, dairy, and processed foods as they can interact with plant medicine and make you feel sick. 

It’s also important to avoid taking any recreational drugs or even pharmaceutical drugs during this time so that you can have a clear mind during the experience. 

In most cases, you will find that any reputable retreat center will advise you on this. They’ll let you know what changes need to be made in your daily life to aid physical preparation.
