Take this information seriously.
A decoction of "perfume liana" (Banisteriopsis caapi) and chacruna (Psychotria viridis) is absolutely safe for a healthy body. But in combination with narcotic and psychoactive substances, as well as some medications, Ayahuasca can cause serious harm to health, up to and including death. Therefore, please review this information carefully!
