Why drink ayahuasca? (p1) Dr. Andrea Pennington #plantmedicine #healingtrauma

The name "Ayahuasca" or "aya huasca" comes from the Kichwa word "Ajawaska", which, when translated means "Vine of the soul". It is a sacred vine used for thousands of years by the indigenous tribes of the Amazon for spiritual cleansing and healing. Ayahuasca is considered "The Mother of all plants" that mediates connection between man & Mother Gaia. The Ayahuasca ceremony is a special journey that involves visions, purging, and revelations that lead to healing and being in harmony with yourself. The name “ayahuasca” is made up of two words- aya and wasca-derived from the Quechua language, where aya means soul or ancestors, and wasca (huasca) means vine or rope. Most people of South America also refer to it as “vine of the soul.” I do not advise taking Ayahuasca willy nilly, at a festival or weekend party. I believe it is best used in sacred ceremonies with experienced, legit healers/medicine men/women. All of the ceremonies I’ve attended since 2017 have been with ayahuasceros with decades of experience. There are psychological and medical contraindications to use of Ayahuasca — so you must be medically cleared before entering ceremony. People suffering from Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia or other mental health disorders should absolutely avoid taking Ayahuasca. It may also react with antidepressants, cough and weight loss medications How is it made? The traditional Ayahuasca tea is prepared from two main ingredients- Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis. Both are native plants to South America and can have hallucinogenic properties. Psychotria viridis contains N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a psychedelic substance that occurs naturally in the plant and has strong hallucinogenic properties. But it has low bioavailability and is broken down rapidly. For DMT to work properly, Banisteriopsis caapi is used that contains MAO inhibitor (MAOIs). When brewed together they turn into a powerful psychedelic Excessive intake of this herbal drink may also lead to some serious side effects and in the worst case, it can even turn fatal. After drinking the tea, a person may experience the following symptoms. Anxiety Diarrhea Nausea Panic Paranoia Vomiting High blood pressure Check out the PenningtonMedia YouTube channel for my video talking about my ayahuasca experiences for more info.
