Scientifically, Ayahuasca is known as known as the tea, the vine, and la purga and is a beverage made from the leaves of the Psychotria viridis shrub mixed with the branches of the Banisteriopsis caapi vine. Parts of other plants may be added as well. These other herbs are included at the expertise of the shaman and elders. This drink is prepared for those who wish to participate it an Ayahuasca ceremony. These ceremonies are supervised by experts in its use. It is NOT recommended that a person ever attempt to perform or use the medicine by themselves. When the brew has cooked to the shaman’s trained eye, the water is removed and set aside. The tea leaves behind the extraneous plant leaves and sticks. Once cooled, the mixture is strained to remove any impurities. It is then ready to use.
