ayahuasca\nteachers of the Amazon ethnic groups \u2014for more than five thousand years\u2014 as a\nway to obtain the expansion of consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who ingest it, ayahuasca is a medicinal drink and\nis used in some rehabilitation therapies to fight addictions, which is why in\nrecent years its consumption has increased outside the Amazon jungle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DMT, the psychedelic or hallucinogenic substance found in\nthe tea that is prepared, is found in nature (in addition to plants, it is also\nin mammals) and is a neuroreceptor that is related to the REM phase of sleep,\nat the moment when dreams occur. Although in this case, when ingesting the\ndrink the experience usually occurs awake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ayahuasca-medicine\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ayahuasca_Medicine\"><\/span>Ayahuasca Medicine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two stages of this experience that are worth highlighting,\nthe imminent and tangible, which happens during the eight hours after taking\nit, that is to say, that awakening and dying at the same time. The later one is\nthat of the work of every day after taking it. I took the liberty before\nnarrating the rush of my direct experience, of letting the &#8220;twenties&#8221;\nfall and seeing how everything that manifested that day flows and transits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-pharmacokinetic-properties-of-ayahuasca-medicine\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_pharmacokinetic_properties_of_Ayahuasca_Medicine\"><\/span>The pharmacokinetic properties of Ayahuasca Medicine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ayahuasca-medicine-and-addiction-treatment\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ayahuasca_Medicine_and_addiction_treatment\"><\/span><strong>Ayahuasca Medicine<\/strong>\nand addiction treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The literature suggests that the traditional consumption of <strong>Ayahuasca Medicine<\/strong> in the social\nframework has a minimal risk of potential abuse or in the formation of\ndependency (Gable, 2007).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Takiwasi center in Peru where addiction treatment is\nprovided using ayahuasca (with an average of 20 sessions over 6 months) as the\ncore component of the therapeutic protocol (Mabit, 1996) conducted a study that\nhas reported the first 175 patients who participated from 1992 to 1997, of\nwhich 67% were dependent on basic cocaine paste and 80% on alcohol or alcohol\nand other substances. The follow-up of the participants for at least two years\nafter leaving the center showed that 54% avoided relapse, and additionally they\ndemonstrated indicators of social and professional reintegration, family support\ncapacity (Mabit, 2002).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-therapeutic-use-of-ayahuasca-medicine-in-neurodegenerative-diseases\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Therapeutic_use_of_Ayahuasca_Medicine_in_neurodegenerative_diseases\"><\/span>Therapeutic use of <strong>Ayahuasca\nMedicine<\/strong> in neurodegenerative diseases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The inhibition of MAO by harmine and harmaline provides\nprotection against neurodegeneration, and has potential therapeutic value for\nthe treatment of Parkinson&#8217;s disease (Serrano, Cardozo and S\u00e1nchez, 2001).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harmine has been tested in parkinsonian models and has\nincreased striatum dopamine flux in rodents (Schwarz et al., 2003). In addition\nto its antioxidant action and MAO inhibitor-dependent mechanisms, harmine can\nalso inhibit DYRK1A, as well as neurofibers associated with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease\n(Sitz et al., 2008).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-of-ayahuasca-medicine-in-anxiety-and-depression\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_of_Ayahuasca_Medicine_in_anxiety_and_depression\"><\/span>Use of <strong>Ayahuasca\nMedicine<\/strong> in anxiety and depression<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MAOIs have been used in the treatment of depression (Stahl\nand Felker, 2008) and in Parkinson&#8217;s disease, as mentioned in the previous\nsection.

These chants are\nhealing and evoke the ancient energy of the plants with which the tea was made\nand that will transport you to a mystical and visionary world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the <strong>Ayahuasca\nCeremony<\/strong>, it is possible to have visions, hear voices and even feel that\nthe body is transported to another side even without leaving the maloca. Most\npeople who participate in the <strong>Ayahuasca\nRitual<\/strong> agree that they can feel great currents of energy flowing from\nthemselves and that is so powerful that they can achieve miraculous cures. For\na few hours, the participants of the <strong>Ayahuasca\nRitual<\/strong> will stay with the shaman in the maloca while the protective spirits\nof plants and healing are evoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-effects-of-ayahuasca-ritual\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Effects_of_Ayahuasca_Ritual\"><\/span>Effects of <strong>Ayahuasca\nRitual<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the shaman or participants of the ritual drink the tea,\nthe first noticeable effect, which appears after about 40 minutes, is that of\nbeing a powerful purgative that produces violent vomiting. If the people who\nparticipate in the ritual have followed the special diet before the ceremony,\nthe process of purging toxic substances will be much lighter, since the foods\nare adequate to combine with this infusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the vomiting has passed, the mystical effects of <strong>Ayahuasca Ceremony<\/strong> begin to be\nexperienced. It should be noted that the taste of the tea is very unpleasant,\nas it has a bitter and oily taste with a sweet touch, which is what produces\nvomit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-an-ayahuasca-retreat-in-per\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_an_Ayahuasca_Retreat_in_Peru\"><\/span>What is an <strong>Ayahuasca\nRetreat in Per\u00fa<\/strong>?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Participating in an <strong>Ayahuasca Retreat in <a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/cusco\/machu-picchu\/\">Cusco<\/a>, Per\u00fa<\/strong> is an opportunity to live a transformative experience and self-knowledge, aimed at those who seek psychospiritual healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process itself takes place over five or six days, and\nincludes two or three ayahuasca sessions, with a maximum of 6 participants per\nsession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-participate-in-an-ayahuasca-retreat-in-per\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_participate_in_an_Ayahuasca_Retreat_in_Peru\"><\/span>How to participate in an <strong>Ayahuasca Retreat in Per\u00fa<\/strong>?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To participate in an <strong>Ayahuasca Retreat<a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/cusco\/machu-picchu\/\"> <\/a>in Per\u00fa<\/strong>, preparation prior to the process is very important, the so-called preparation diet, which consists of a series of recommendations or suggestions that are intended to help participants to connect more easily to the healing power of medicine. The diet also prevents certain complications during the ayahuasca experience, helps to have the body more prepared to receive ayahuasca medicine, and facilitates its assimilation. The ayahuasca diet is not always the same in all places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-can-participate-in-an-ayahuasca-retreat-in-per\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_participate_in_an_Ayahuasca_Retreat_in_Peru\"><\/span>Who can participate in an <strong>Ayahuasca Retreat in Per\u00fa<\/strong>?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Those people who really feel motivated to live this type of experience can participate, and are also physically and psychologically prepared to be part of the process; For this reason, the evaluation prior to retirement is very important, since this way we will know if there are health risks. Not all people can participate in an ayahuasca retreat. Children under 18 years of age, pregnant women, people with some conditions such as a history of heart attack, stroke and some other diseases cannot participate, nor can people with certain psychological disorders such as bipolar disorder in the manic phase or people participate in the retreats with personality dissociation problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tours-in-per\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tours_in_Peru\"><\/span>Tours in Per\u00fa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/city-tour-lima\/\">City Tour Lima<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/machu-picchu-tour-full-day\/\">Machu Picchu Tour Full Day<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/inca-trail-to-machu-picchu-4-days\/\">Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 4 Days<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/short-inca-trail-to-machu-picchu\/\">Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 2 Days<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/colca-valley-full-day\/\">Colca Valley Full Day<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/uros-and-taquile-islands-full-day\/\">Lake Titicaca Tour Full Day<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/sandboarding-huacachina-excursion\/\">Huacachina Tour<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/humantay-lake\/\">Humantay Lake Tour<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/pachacamac-full-day-tour\/\">Pachacamac City Tour<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/peru-packages\/tour-cusco-machu-picchu-5-days\/\">Cusco Tour 5 Days<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/magic-cusco-6-days\/\">Cusco Tour 6 Days<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/cusco-puno-7-days\/\">Cusco to Puno Tour 7 Days<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are those who consider ayahuasca as a drug, while those who consume it believe that it is a medicinal drink, but what is it?
