_e_ Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) Iv'e been interested in sourcing out and learning about the use of other less known admixtures in the preperation of ayahuasca. Whilst ive been in europe ive had the opportunity to access amazonian medicinal plants that just arent available in australia. To me it is a real shame that such plants are limited to unavailable in australia, and i have found some of the common south american medicinals to be very potent, and they have helped me considerably with my own healing journey. (although i cannot drink ayahuasca for health reasons as yet). Despite their unavailability, i would still some day like to establish an ayahuasca garden complete with many different admixture plants (in a place/country where law permits it). I find it really interesting how many different plants can be used in the one brew, and how a curandero will utilise different plants depending on the focus and context of the particular brew. Anyway, im jsut curious as to whether anyone in australia has any ayahuasca plants other then the key components. I found this list very helpfull in starting to establish some plants to look out for (thanx for the killer links tripitaka) A Working List of Confirmed Ayahuasca Admixture PlantsARRANGED BY BOTANICAL NAME AND FAMILY (links go to detailed accounts of each species) ACANTHACEAE Teliostachya lanceolata AMARANTHACEAE Alternanthera lehmannii Iresine sp.

Auxin Posted November 13, 2006 I recognized straight away over half a dozen that are in Oz... what caught my eye was Ocimum micranthum. This is a synonym of Ocimum campechianum, it has been investigated for antinociceptive and antiinflammatory activities but just Why is it in ayahuasca? It'd change the flavor and odor for sure, may even be a bit of a antiinflammatory pain killer to help arthritic shamen/patients... but I'm curious if something from the same family and subfamily as Salvia divinorum might just be there to modify the visionary aspects of ayahuasca. After all I know some sages with non-psychoactive terpenoids can modify peyote visions, and are used for that by some natives- it would be interesting to know if there is an equivalent in ayahuasca.

mescalito Posted November 13, 2006 Interesting stuff Eli...I wonder if it's sometimes the mixture of plant "entities" as well that adds the required OOMPH to the healing besides the chemical reasons for adding certain herbs???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hebrew Posted November 13, 2006 the seeds from this plant Quararibea "ishpinango" are used by a curandero who works with huachuma in his cimora. would love to get some of these and alot of the herbs you mention above as well i would really like to get some camaloonga seeds you can add them to some camphor water and this will provide you with some nice perfume that does a great job at clreaing the space and providing protection etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hagakure Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) interesting list should chuck it in the wiki to allow easy access to info a new category for groups of plants? could also make lists of MAOI containing plants, DMT containing etc etc actually i may have a crack at that now can always be changed if it diesnt work edit: okay here is what i got so far http://www.ethnobotanica.org/wiki/index.ph...asca_admixtures if you find info on any of the plants involved add it up Edited November 13, 2006 by Hagakure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) As far as Ishpingo (Quararibea) as an admixture goes, I wrote a little bit about this in the Quararibea funebris thread. Although I think it was about cactus admixture. Not sure. Lactones somethin somethin mumble mumble. Edited November 13, 2006 by apothecary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
