Excellent- More about Grandmother Ayahuasca: Plant Medicine and the Psychedelic Brain
Ayahuasca is a powerful hallucinogenic tea used by indigenous tribes in the Amazon for healing and spiritual exploration. It is brewed from a combination of two plants, Psychotria viridis, and Banisteriopsis caapi. This book explores its history, shamanic use, psychoactive effects, current scientific studies, and therapeutic potential. It examines how ayahuasca affects the brain from a neuroscientific perspective and how its effects on consciousness relate to ancient esoteric texts. The author shares interviews with people who have experienced its powerful effects and his own journey from suicidal depression to a soul at peace. He also investigates how ayahuasca is interwoven with the ancient practices of Amazonian shamanism.

Ayahuasca, a brew made from the combination of two plants, Psychotria viridis and Banisteriopsis caapi, has been used for millennia by indigenous tribes throughout the Upper Amazon for healing and spiritual exploration. The shamans of the Peruvian Amazon call the plant spirit within the vine "Abuela Ayahuasca," or Grandmother Ayahuasca.
Exploring the history,lore,traditional use,psychoactive effects,and current scientific studies, Christian Funder reveals how Grandmother Ayahuasca is a profound healer, wise teacher, and life-changing guide. Examining ayahuasca from a neuroscientific perspective, the author looks at recent research on the effects of DMT, one of the psychoactive compounds in ayahuasca, as well as fMRI studies of brain activity during altered states. He explores these findings as they relate to the teachings on unified states of consciousness in ancient esoteric texts and to Aldous Huxley's theory of psychedelics inhibiting the "reducing valve" mechanism of the brain.
Sharing interviews with people who have experienced ayahuasca's powerful "spirit doctor" effects, Funder also details his own revolutionary ayahuasca healing journey from suicidal depression to a soul at peace.
