You may have seen or heard references to ayahuasca in the media or in casual conversation, or you may know someone who has tried it or who wants to try it. You may be wondering what it is and if it's a legitimate healing modality or just another unsubstantiated wellness fad. You may also be curious as to how a hallucinogenic tea, which is illegal in most countries, came to be lauded not only by average people but by scientists and scholars as a powerful treatment for spiritual and psychological disorders.

People are growing increasingly tired of being dictated to regarding how they treat their own bodies and minds, and as a result, they are turning towards alternative methods of holistic healing and spiritual development. This psychedelic plant medicine is legal in the Amazonian countries where it is traditionally used, and thousands of people from every corner of the world travel to South America every year to treat themselves for conditions that they can't receive adequate treatment for at home. Others hold secret "ayahuasca circles" in countries where possession of the medicine is prohibited, in spaces such as diverse modest apartments or rented rooms or million-dollar mansions. From the Amazon rainforest to Silicon Valley to remote Swedish provinces, La medicine is the people's choice of treatment for the physical, mental, and spiritual disorders of our time.
