– Book – Ayahuasca –

A complete and in-depth book of the entire experience of Ayahuasca. A best-selling book in Germany, now translated into English. 300 pages.

Ayahuasca is the strongest of the plant medicines used by shamans. When brewed from a vine and a leaf, the potion creates awe-inspiring visual and mental effects.  For many tribes, Ayahuasca is the basis for creating and sustaining their culture. Ayahuasca reveals to mankind its role in the universe and the true nature of reality. When used properly, Ayahuasca provides healing, leads to personally meaningful visions, and stimulates the creative process.

The authors are leading authorities in the field of ethnology, anthropology, and pharmacology, and demonstrate the use of Ayahuasca in shamanic rituals. They dive deep into shamanic visionary worlds, explore the plants, and their own souls, and share their encounters with Amazonian cultures and their artistic works. This is an authoritative and comprehensive treatise on the use, history, culture, and art of the sacred plant medicine Ayahuasca.
