Ayahuasca in the Treatment of Diseases: Diabetes, Depression, Hypothyroidism, Obesity, Chronic Fatigue, Hypertension
We’ve emphasized many times that Ayahuasca should not be taken lightly or used for entertainment or out of some curiosity. Preparation for Ayahuasca requires a serious mindset and a clear understanding of one’s needs. Beyond its spiritual enlightenment and mental healing benefits (which we’ve often discussed), this sacred plant medicine also addresses a range of physical issues. In this article, we’ll focus on the treatment of diseases.
A Brief Note on How Modern Medicine Works
A general practitioner orders a blood test, discovers low hemoglobin levels, diagnoses anemia, and prescribes iron supplements. A psychiatrist diagnoses depression and prescribes antidepressants. An endocrinologist identifies hypothyroidism and prescribes hormone replacement therapy. The patient often finds themselves in a cycle of various diagnoses and treatments. While modern medicine has consolidated a wide range of symptoms under the umbrella of “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,” many specialists remain skeptical of it, particularly as there is no objective medical scale to measure fatigue. There are countless “medical diagnoses” for which doctors themselves may not have clear solutions.
The Result
The patient is often left carrying around a metaphorical bag full of pills (which tend to become more expensive with each year) or relying on lifelong medication that doesn’t address the root of the body’s problems but merely maintains a fragile “balance.” Despite modern education and medical advances, many questions remain unanswered. After all a diagnosis from a doctor is just a label for a collection of symptoms.How Our Healer Works
Our curandero (healer) does not seek a universal cure for all issues. Instead, he looks at the patient, listens to their concerns, gives the first portion of the Ayahuasca brew, and carefully observes their reaction. His observations are not only visual but also intuitive and energetic. The curandero reads the patient’s energetic field, monitors their behavior, and based on his insights, prepares a brew with components uniquely suited to that individual. The effectiveness of the healing is directly tied to this personalized approach, which views the person not only as a physical being but as a complex interaction of energy flows. Our goal is to help the individual restore their energetic system to its original, natural state. Once this balance is achieved, the body itself begins to regulate all its functions, as intended by nature.
Diseases Ayahuasca Helps Heal
Depression—This topic is covered in more depth in a separate article (read Ayahuasca in the Treatment of Depression). Depression, a prevalent condition in modern society, often coexists with a range of other health issues like chronic fatigue syndrome, hypothyroidism, anemia, and chronic stress. It can also be an independent mental health disorder. Hypothyroidism—This condition, involving reduced thyroid function, has become increasingly common and is affecting younger individuals. Historically, hypothyroidism was more often seen in adults over 40-45 years old. However, with the rise in stress levels in urban life, symptoms of hypothyroidism are now appearing in people in their 20s and 30s. Obesity—A chronic metabolic condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation and increased body weight. The prevalence of obesity in developed societies, irrespective of age or genetic factors, has reached alarming levels. Diabetes—An endocrine disorder caused by an absolute or relative deficiency of insulin, associated with pancreatic dysfunction. Chronic Stress—A prolonged response to physical, emotional, or psychological overload, often triggered by the monotony and hustle of modern life. Chronic stress leads to frequent adrenaline surges, which the body struggles to handle. This can result in various metabolic disorders. Hypertension—Persistently high blood pressure, a condition whose causes remain unclear in modern medicine. Addictions—Including alcoholism, drug dependency, and other addictive behaviors. Neurological Diseases—Ayahuasca has also shown effectiveness in helping individuals with certain neurological disorders.
This list is far from exhaustive, as many individuals come to us with different issues, and our curandero works effectively with each one. We closely monitor the health of every participant, requesting screenings and test results to track progress. Achieving positive results is of utmost importance to us. We confidently state that Ayahuasca works! We also want to emphasize the concept of healing alignment. While this term may not be fully understood by the rational mind, the body of any person instinctively “understands” it. Over the course of two weeks, while you undergo healing in the jungle, we focus on aligning your body’s processes toward recovery. Once these processes are activated, maintaining them in your daily life will lead you to complete health. We will provide all necessary materials, information, and recommendations to help you continue on your path to well-being. Healing in the jungle awaits you!
