"Visitors are flocking to the Peruvian Amazon to sample ayahuasca, a potion with hallucinogenic properties made from jungle vines and considered sacred by indigenous tribes. Lodges catering to 'ayahuasca tourism' are attracting travelers who hope the concoction will help soothe a range of woes.
Ayahuasca is not simply for those looking for an easy walk on the wild side. The potion does contain a chemical with hallucinogenic properties. But the shamans consider ayahuasca a medicine.
And the people who come — businessmen, computer programmers, salesmen, musicians — are looking to deal with everything from childhood traumas to depression.
The Yacu Puma Healing Center, a wooden lodge surrounded by lush greenery, sits on the outskirts of Iquitos, a town in northeastern Peru."
1. It's very sad that most of humanity no longer have such things...
available to them. I personally don't think that I could ever do such a thing because I think that I'd never want to return to reality. Neptune on my ascendant makes me just want to float off into the clouds...
Thanks for posting this, Blue. Hopefully, Shallah Kali will see this. (Kick!)
that is too extreme for me. I already purge without the ayahuasca! I have read before of people taking this and encountering hostile insectile entities. not all trips are positive or helpful.
