Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca is a traditional psychedelic brew from South America that primarily combines DMT-containing plants with MAO inhibitors. It acts primarily as a 5-HT2A receptor agonist and allows for the oral activity of DMT through MAO inhibition. The substance is used in ritual and therapeutic contexts and can evoke intense visual and emotional experiences. Risks are particularly present when taken concurrently with serotonergic medications or in the case of pre-existing mental health conditions.
