Ayahuasca – The Natural DMT Brew that Connects you to ‘Mother Earth’

What is DMT? 🪬

Dimethyltryptamine is a natural chemical substance that is produced in many plants and animals, including humans in the liver, lungs and pineal gland. Despite occurring naturally in us, it is famous for being the strongest psychedelic and has a reputation for inducing the biggest changes to our perception of reality. Also, it has been found that when someone dies, the brain releases DMT.

A common occurrence across experiences on DMT include leaving the body to another realm/dimension that seems more real, fractal and complex, where people have interacted with other entities, feel more knowledgeable and think more clearly.

People who smoke DMT say it lasts around 15 minutes (but the experience tends to feel like longer) and those who drink ayahuasca, the natural DMT brew, say it can last hours

What is Ayahuasca? 🌿 

Ayahuasca is a brew or tea made in the Amazon from just two plants; the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the Psychotria viridis leaf. This combination of natural ingredients allows for DMT to work, giving ‘life changing experiences’. People experience ‘Mother Ayahuasca’ (also referred to as ‘Mother Earth’) after taking the brew. It has been said that she shares knowledge and gives advice ranging from explaining the nature of reality and how there is much more to it than we experience, to telling alcoholics to stop poisoning themselves. Another common theme is for advice to be given on personal traits, for example people have said that they have been told they should not take themselves too seriously.

Ayahuasca effects have also said to be therapeutic. “It’s like psychotherapy. Ten years of psychotherapy in one night.” Many people consume it to cure PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), including soldiers and people with troubled upbringings. Others claim to get cured of issues/blocks in their subconscious that they were unaware of and describe the aftereffects as uplifting and life changing.

There are some side effects to taking ayahuasca. Vomiting or nausea was most common, reported by 62% of respondents. In all, 18% reported headaches and 13% abdominal pain. Only about 2% said they needed medical attention as a result. However, people travel from afar to ayahuasca ceremonies due to the positive, life changing effects documented.

How ancient Amazonians knew to mix these two plants from the vast abundance of plants that are in the Amazon is still debated. The common answer locally is that “the plants told them/guided them” to do so. As well as these life changing insights and experiences, ayahuasca has been found to have healing properties. Some of the mental and health benefits it can bring are listed below:

• Euphoria
• Feelings of connection and unity
• Introspection
• Intense visual and auditory experiences
• Powerful emotions
• Curing addictions
• Curing psychological conditions (such as PTSD)
• Curing health conditions (some claim to be cured from conditions such as diabetes)

The Ayahuasca videos and documentary featuring Graham Hancock and David Icke (video 2) below expand on this further:

Here is a video where the entities of DMT are explained with reference to religious texts including Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity. Near Death Experiences are also compared with DMT experiences in this video:

As mentioned, DMT is said to be secreted from the pineal gland. Our article on the pineal gland can be viewed here, our article on DMT here, and our article on DMT simulations here.
