Igama elithi Ayahuasca livela kulwimi lwesiKocha kwaye linokuguqulelwa ngokuthi "umdiliya wemiphefumlo" okanye "umdiliya wemimoya".
Ukufakwa kwe-Ayahuasca kwenziwa ngokupheka umxube wezityalo ezahlukeneyo, ngokuqhelekileyo ziquka i-Banisteriopsis caapi, umdiliya oqulethe i-beta-carboline alkaloids, kunye ne-Psychotria viridis, isihlahla esibonelela nge-tryptamine DMT.
Isetyenziswe kwisithethe semveli, i-Ayahuasca ithathwa njengengcwele kwaye iyeza elinamandla lokunyanga izifo ezahlukeneyo zomzimba, zengqondo, ezentlalo kunye nezomoya. Okwangoku, inani elikhulayo lophononongo lubonelela ngobungqina beenzuzo ze-Ayahuasca's psychotherapeutic.
Izifundo zokuqala zibonisa ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwe-Ayahuasca kwisithethe kunye / okanye kwisimo sonyango kunye nokulungiswa kwengqondo kunye nomzimba kwangaphambili kunokuncedisa kunyango lwengqondo. Ngokomzekelo, i-Ayahuasca ibonise ukuba iyasebenza kunyango lweziyobisi, ukudakumba okuqhubekayo kunye nesixhobo sokuphucula impilo yengqondo. Njengezinye izinto zengqondo, iimpembelelo zonyango ze-ayahuasca zihlala emva kweempembelelo ezibukhali ze-pharmacological ziye zancipha (afterglow).
Ukongezelela, izifundo ze-in vitro zifumene ukuba izithako ezisebenzayo kwi-ayahuasca zikhuthaza i-neurogenesis, kwaye ngokutsho kweengcamango zokuqala, zikhusela izicubu ngokusebenzisa i-anti-apoptotic, i-pro-neurotropic kunye ne-anti-inflammatory effect.
