It is important to explain to participants that the active compound in Ayahuasca, known as DMT (dimethyltryptamine), is naturally found within the body. This molecule is produced by the pineal gland and is released during specific states such as sleep, birth, death, meditation, or practices like Ayurvedic breathing.
In everyday life, DMT is produced in small amounts. However, during certain moments, such as sleep, its production increases naturally, which explains why we experience dreams.
The Ayahuasca experience is very safe as long as certain requirements are met:
-
If you are suffering from any illness, you should consult with our team or the shaman, as certain conditions may make you ineligible for this experience. For example, severe heart diseases, epilepsy, and schizophrenia are contraindicated.
-
If you are taking any medication, you must inform our team. This helps us prevent potential interactions that could make the experience dangerous. Some medications may need to be discontinued several days prior to the ceremony.

-
It is important to know if you are suffering from any psychiatric illnesses or if you are undergoing psychological treatment.
-
The use of recreational substances or addictive substances should be avoided in the days prior to the experience. For example, you should not drink alcohol or consume marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc.
-
In the days leading up to the experience, you should stay in quiet places and avoid environments with excessive noise, such as bars, clubs, concerts, or discotheques.
-
The day before the ceremony, participants are encouraged to stay in a calm environment, practice yoga or meditation, focus on their intentions for the ceremony, and engage in activities that bring inner peace.

It is highly recommended to ensure that the shaman guiding your experience is a genuine Taita and certified by an indigenous community. Additionally, Ayahuasca centers must provide proof of the shaman’s accreditation for their community
8.It is also recommended to follow the diet indicated by the Ayahuasca center, typically starting one week prior to the ceremony.
- It is recommended that men and women abstain from sexual relations for at least 3 to 4 days before the experience. This helps preserve their energy and prevents mixing or contamination with external energies.
- It is also advised that individuals attending the ceremony should not be in a fragile state of health or suffering from serious underlying conditions. If they are, they should consult with the team or the shaman beforehand.
-
Try to have a clear intention for your experience, such as growth, healing, understanding, spirituality, or connection. However, it is important to understand that Ayahuasca is not a recreational practice; it is a healing and consciousness-expanding experience.
-
It is important to take at least one day to reflect on your experience. This is because the ceremony will provide you with a significant amount of new information, and you need time to integrate it into yourself. Additionally, if you have the WhatsApp contact of the facilitator, they can assist you during your integration process after the experience, helping you to better understand everything.
In general, it is important to explain that Ayahuasca ceremonies are very safe when the correct instructions are followed. It is essential to clarify that complications in this practice arise from the inappropriate use of certain substances (e.g., drugs), taking medications without informing the team, or pre-existing health conditions that were not disclosed to the medical team.
Conclusion: This is a very safe practice when done carefully and with respect.
