Ayahuasca has its components widely studied in scientific research. This drink contains two main substances, DMT (dimethyltryptamine) and harmaline (or harmine), which act on the central nervous system, causing a change in the state of consciousness, which leads people to have different sensory and cognitive experiences, such as visions of spiritual beings and a better understanding of their own problems, feelings, fears and anxieties. In addition, it is also very important to pray and the energy state of those who prepare and serve this medicine, so that the therapeutic goals are achieved.

Although it is often labeled as a hallucinogen, ayahuasca is not included in the category of hallucinogenic drugs as per National Council on Drug Policies Resolution (CONAD), due to not presenting any long-term effects, nor being capable of causing dependence. Even so, its use should always be guided by someone who knows its effects well and has experience with this type of treatment.
