Ayahuasca tourism is increasingly popular with Westerners seeking healing from physical illness or mental anguish, or simply a sense of meaning amid the growing alienation in our culture. Having experience with the plant, I understand both its appeal and the potential for its misuse.

For all our astonishing achievements, there are a host of ailments whose ravages we physicians can at best alleviate. Such a holistic understanding informs many aboriginal wisdom teachings.

Ocho mitos desmontados sobre la ayahuasca. (Tiempo estimado de lectura: 7 minutos) La ayahuasca tiene todas las papeletas para generar mitos a su alrededor: por su origen (la selva del Amazonas), por el saber arcano transmitido de un modo poco convencional entre chamanes, por sus efectos sobre la mente y el espíritu de quien la prueba y, finalmente, por su legalidad, moviéndose en una zona gris entre la tolerancia y el ojo vigilante de la policía del pensamiento.
Todos estos mitos crecen en torno a la ayahuasca como una liana de estereotipos, promesas y prejuicios que amenazan con no dejar ver la floresta de sabiduría que encierra el brebaje.

Guided by the Moon. Ayahuasca Vault. Ayahuasca and Addiction. Of all the claims for the power of ayahuasca to heal sicknesses of various kinds, from cancer to asthma, the most popular current claim is that ayahuasca can — in some sense — cure addiction.
I have nothing but respect for the proponents of this claim, especially people like Gabor Maté and Jacques Mabit, who have committed their professional lives to establishing the effectivenesss of this treatment. There are certainly anecdotes, claims, and uncontrolled self-report studies that can at best be called preliminary. A recent article in Current Drug Abuse Reviews, for example, reports “statistically significant improvements in several factors related to problematic substance use” after a four-day ayahuasca retreat in a rural First Nations community.
But I have seen no substantial scientific evidence that ayahuasca can in fact successfully treat addictions. Here is why I am cautious about such claims. First, I am not even sure what such a claim would mean. Perhaps I will be proven wrong. Your resource about the ayahuasca vine and ayahuasca recipe ingredients; ayahuasca retreats and experiences.
