Ayahuasca is a medicinal plant from the Amazon used to heal physical and spiritual ailments while detoxifying the mind and emotions. Composed of active ingredients like DMT and serotonin, it facilitates a trance-like state that enhances self-awareness and does not cause addiction. While it can be dangerous without proper supervision, Alma Healing Center offers safe ayahuasca retreats guided by experienced shamans.

1. What is ayahuasca?
A short guide by Alma Healing Center

2. Ayahuasca is a medicinal
plant from the Amazon.
It is a true heritage of humanity that has the
power to cure physical and spiritual illnesses,
cleanse and detox the nervous system, the mind
and the emotions.

3. What are the active
ingredients in Ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca is composed of dimethyltryptamine (DMT), armina, seratonin, and
telepatina.
These are powerful neurotransmitters that our brain produces naturally in
three ways:
1. When you’re sleeping, these are in charge of your dreams;
2. When you meditate, these are in charge of giving you transcendental
information;
3. When you have a near death experience, these are the ones showing you
your life as it passes before you.

4. Ayahuasca is a powerful
depurative.
It purifies your body,
thoughts and emotions.

5. Is Ayahuasca a drug?
Ayahuasca is not a drug, it is a medicinal plant and an
important component to Amazonian ancestral medicine.
First and foremost, Ayahuasca heals, it does not
damage. It purifies your body and heals emotional
illnesses.
It does not cause addiction, in fact, it frees you from
addiction to drugs, habits, and people.
Unlike “regular drugs”, you do not build a tolerance for
Ayahuasca. You become more sensitive to it, requiring
less with each experience.

6. What happens when you
drink ayahuasca?

7. You enter a TRANCE-
LIKE,
MEDITATIVE
STATE, while
remaining completely
lucid.
In Spanish, this is called,
UN ESTADO DE
PINTA, during which
your senses and energy
are amplified.

8. You become aware of your
inner world and you start
to realize: How am I
living? What is my
relationship with myself?
How do I see the
world?
We see
who we really
are.

9. Is it dangerous to drink Ayahuasca?
YES.
But if you do it under the supervision of an
experienced ancestral doctor and
spiritual guide (also called a Shaman, Taita,
Yachun Runa), your safety is guaranteed.

10. Ayahuasca is an extremely powerful
plant and its use should not be taken
lightly without considering the
situation, the location and the spiritual
guide with whom this ritual is
celebrated.
