Abstract

Ayahuasca is a traditional Amazonian tea made from the ayahuasca vine and chacruna shrub.

Ayahuasca can be effective in treating mental health conditions, including depression and addiction.

It can potentially dampen the brain's fear center activity.

Ayahuasca is a new paradigm for mental healthcare by focusing on well-being rather than suppressing symptoms.
