Manage episode 372604778 series 3455099
Apostol & Max talk about the different aspects of South American Ayahuasca shamanism. Ayahuasca is a tea which is prepared by the mixture of the Ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis Caapi) and the Chacruna plant (Psychotria viridis) which together enable a multi-hour DMT journey. In the amazon jungle, various tribes have used it for many generations for shamanism and healing. In the past years ayahuasca has gained popularity in the west for it's potential for healing chronic illness, trauma and various health issues that western medicine does not have good solutions for. The conversations focuses on the tradition of the Shipibo Tribe for dieting and healing through the connection with various plant teachers.
