Ayahuasca

Queen of Plants

While Amazon Medicinals, in no way trades in Ayahuasca, we thought it pertinent to include some information about the "Queen of the Plants". Our spiritual connection with her, has seeded this very business. We do think that you should know that Ayahuasca is illegal in the U.S.* We do not suggest or condone breaking the law. All of our photos and experience in regards to this sacred but illegal* plant teacher come from the Amazon where the laws are different.

Amazon Medicinals does not trade in Ayahuasca because we believe that it is dangerous for one to "try some" on their own. The benefits of Ayahuasca are most often realized under the guidance of a trained and experienced professional.

* Although recent victories in the U.S. Supreme Court may prove otherwise.

David Howes on Shipibo Spiritual Art & Design

"...Ayahuasca is, above all, a "medicine;" most shamans are "doctors" who "diagnose", "cure" or at least treat a variety of human ailments while under the powerful influence of this drug. They believe they get their power through communication with the spirit world from which comes sickness and death - communication resulting from the visual hallucinations of this drug..."
