Ayahuasca and other plant medicines can have profound long-term effects on individuals.

These effects include the elimination of addictions to tobacco, alcohol, and drugs, a deeper understanding of oneself and the world, and significant improvement in patients with treatment-resistant depression, which has been confirmed by scientific research.

However, to fully realize the potential of plant teachers, it is necessary to do the work after the ceremony. Integration is the key to understanding and implementing the insights gained during the psychedelic journey. This involves reflecting on experiences, interpreting insights, and implementing them into daily life.

To successfully integrate, it is important to reiterate memories, speak about what was seen and felt by discussing them with others. Interpretation of insights can take time and may require consulting with a shaman or experienced colleagues. Finally, implementation is essential to changing one’s reality for the better and avoiding the trap of using psychedelics solely for entertainment purposes.
