Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca, Yagé [jahe], Yajé [jahe], Natem, Cipó or Daime are names for a plant brew from the liana Banisteriopsis caapi and N, N-dimethyltryptamine-containing leaves of the coffee plant family Psychotria viridis, also called Chakruna. In some cases, the name Ayahuasca means only the liana Banisteriopsis caapi.

The brew contains Harman alkaloids, which act as monoamine oxidase inhibitors that are slowing down the breakdown of the hallucinogen N N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT).

The term Ayahuasca or Yajé comes from the indigenous language Quechua and means translated "liana of the spirits / dead" or "tendril of souls" / "soul tendril". Ayahuasca initiates a visionary state of consciousness and this effect is used in a variety of people for various reasons.

Shamans or medicine men take Ayahuasca to communicate with nature or to see at a spiritual level what causes a patient's illness. Ayahuasca has also received the attention of Western society in recent decades. Academic researchers in the field of psychotherapy have shown an increasing interest. People drink Ayahuasca to confront themselves with the richness of the psyche, the infinity of the universe and their greatest fears.

Ayahuasca is the medicine of the soul and has great impact in healing addictions, cancer, diabetes, depression and other diseases of the body and the soul.

DMT is one of the strongest visionary substances known to mankind. It is generated naturally in humans during, for example, in deep mediation. DMT binds to the sigma-1 receptors in the body, which have been shown to be involved in many cell functions - including the signal for cancer cell death. There is also scientific evidence that the Harmine in the brew causes the death of some cancer cells and inhibits cell proliferation.
