Frequently Asked Questions
about Ayahuasca
The Ayahuasca plant is a revered medicine plant from the Amazon rainforest. It has the power to provide profound healing and self-discovery to anyone who embarks on a journey with it. The drink is a combination of two plants, namely the Ayahuasca vine and either Psychotria Viridis or Chagropanga. These plants work together in harmony to expand one’s perspective of oneself and the world around us. Often known as “the mother,” Ayahuasca embodies the nurturing and caring qualities of a mother’s love. It is through these qualities that the plant’s healing properties are unlocked, revealing hidden aspects of the subconscious mind and fostering universal love and acceptance of everything that is revealed.

A shaman serves as a guide and protector during sacred plant medicine ceremonies. They possess the ability to maintain a constant connection with Plant Spirits and the natural world. Through their gift, they can perceive energies and influences present in an individual’s aura and the collective energy of the group during the ceremony. With this knowledge, the shaman is capable of directing and guiding the ceremony to facilitate the most effective healing and clearing of any negative energies that may arise.
The personal and religious use of Ayahuasca is not prohibited in Spain, and it can be consumed in private, non-profit ceremonies. The Peruvian government has recognized Ayahuasca as a national treasure due to its exceptional therapeutic value and historical significance in their culture.

Ayahuasca is a sacred medicine that is considered a sacrament, not a drug. It is not addictive, and the dosage does not need to be increased to replicate a similar experience. However, each experience with Ayahuasca is unique, as it works to engage and purify one’s consciousness. The mind is cleared of negative thoughts, emotions are lifted, and the body is rejuvenated. In addition, the user experiences a sense of universal love for all living things, including oneself.
From a scientific perspective, Ayahuasca has been shown to restore and correct neural connections in the brain, promoting overall emotional and physical health. Unlike with alcohol, there are no hangovers associated with its use. Moreover, after the ceremony, the presence of Ayahuasca can continue to be felt within the body for several weeks, manifesting as renewed energy, peace, and harmony in one’s surroundings.
