Ayahuasca is a trip like no other. It takes a little preparation, but our top quality pack guarantees a 4-6 hour out of this world DMT based trip that you will never forget! This guide is for preparation for 1 person, details for 2 people are at the bottom. All my ingredients are sourced from the Peruvian Amazon, around Puerto Maldonado.

Psychotria Viridis / Chacruna - 15g
Mimosa Hostilis / Jurema - 10g
Chaliponga - 10g
Syrian Rue - 3g
Preparation is simple, and there are some safety guidelines. Here goes:-
Ayahusaca is by necessity a two step process. The trip comes mainly from the DMT (n,n,dimethyltryptamine) contained in the Chacruna and Jurema, although the Caapi vine does contain active alkaloids too. Normally, DMT is immediately processed and broken down in the stomach, so when ingested - nothing happens. To get around this, and allow the DMT time to work its magic, you need a MAOI (Mono-amine-oxidase-inhibitor). This prevents the enzyme in the stomach from breaking down the DMT, meaning you get to trip your nuts off until the MAOI wears off.
The Banisteriopsis Caapi / Ourinhos vine contains the MAOI inhibitor. To prepare, you simply boil a pan of water with the Caapi in it, and a little vitamin C, lemon juice - just something to make the water more acidic, this helps the alkaloids transfer from the vine to the water better. When you boil this down, over 20-30 mins, tip in to a mug, add honey and drink. It tastes OK with honey, nasty without! If you want to further strengthen the MAOI effects, chew and eat the Syrian Rue, also a MAOI - but this is not necessary.
The MAOI will take about an hour to kick in, and you won't even start feeling high from the Caapi's own trip alkaloids for 30 mins plus. After which mild trip symptoms appear like lines become waves and some other visual artifacts.
In the meantime, do the same again - water, vitamin C / lemon juice and boil the Chacruna and some, but not all (As it is very strong) of the Mimosa Hostilis. Chacruna is easy to drink, with extra Mimosa Hostilis it becomes very bitter, even with honey, and can be hard to chug down - the mimosa hostilis is the power though, so any you can add will significantly increase the strength of your experience - 3-4g will be ample. At about an hour after you finished the Caapi tea, chug the final DMT heavy tea and you are away...
Only you aren't, not quite...
Here's a professional tip, from a professional shaman i.e. me. You will get a good trip from this, but not great. Why? Because the DMT congregates in your gall bladder after it passes through your stomach. You will trip, but to really launch the rocket, you must east something fatty, buttery etc. which releases the contents of the gall bladder back in to the blood. So, after the first "wave" of the trip has passed - this can be anywhere from 30 mins to 1.5 hours after you start the effects of the second cup of tea. Then, you need something like hot buttered toast, or my favourite, hot buttered crumpets and KABOOM, on top of your already great trip, you will receive the motherload and be off with the fairies for the next 4-6 hours.
Ayahuasca is the king of trips. Every time is an entheogenic experience, a great trip and a lot of fun - it will change your life and is more than worth the time to prepare.
Be warned, many people experience La Purga (i.e. being sick) after they take the second tea, this is part of the trip and part of the experience - so have a bucket handy. I've never vommed, strong stomach, but it can be touch and go! As I said, this is meant to happen - go read up on Erowid and you'll understand.
A fantastic trip, and our Ayahuasca pack is very strong.
Details for preparation for 2 people
Realistically, a simgle person won't need the 3g of Syrian Rue or all the Mimosa Hostilis, meaning there should be enough left for another trip for another time. Seriously, you don;t want to add ALL the ingredients in one go unless you are a hardened Ayahuasca head like myself! However, if you are tripping in tandem, split the Syrian rue between you at the start and split the Caapi tea, then add more of the Mimosa Hostilis to the second tea and the trip will be perfect for 2.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are doing this as 2, you MUST take half the caapi AND half the rue, or you will not have enough MAOI inhibiting effect to make the DMT work, just splitting the Caapi with nothing else is not enough - the pack has been tailored very specifically so there is enough ingredients for one person twice, or 2 people once - NOT 2 people twice!!! Equally, use Chacruna / Chaliponga and some grams of the Mimosa as specified for one person, or ALL the ingredients for 2. Ayahuasca is all or nothing, you can't do a "light" trip to test the waters!
MAOI's are useful for something, very dangerous for others. In short, don't take any other chemicals or anything which has an active ingredient - including certain types of foods - until the MAOI wears off. This is so the mono-amine-oxidase is working and will break down dangerous substances again in your body. Without it, they will keep working beyond their natural and intended usage, which can be very dangerous.
Here is a list of substances that should NOT be taken within 12 hours of MAOI
Very dangerous:
Serotonine antidepressants containing Selective Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), such as grass Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) and pills such as paroxetine (Paxil), fluoxetine (Prozac), citalopram (Cipramil), fluvoxamine (Fevarin) and sertraline (Zoloft)
sleeping pills
anesthetics
drugs for migraine
drugs against allergies
medicines for colds
cocaine
amphetamines (speed)
MDMA (XTC)
cactus mescaline (peyote and San Pedro)
alcohol
ephedra / ephedrine (For example, in products such as caps Ephedra Super, Super Stacker, Xtenzion)
pseudoephedrine
macromerine
phentermine
The following are not dangerous, but will ideally be avoided - you may feel nauseous taking these before a MAOI wears off:-
Pasteurized dairy products (buttermilk, yogurt and sour cream)
Cheeses of all ages (except cottage cheese, cream cheese)
Fermented and cured meats (salami, pepperoni, corned beef, and liver)
All meat, fish and eggs, which are not fresh
