Native Use
The Banisteriopsis caapi vine, also known as the “vine of the souls,” is the main ingredient in the entheogenic bark beverage called “ayahuasca” or “yagé.” Amazon shamans prepare, drink, and share this beverage during special ceremonies. Many indigenous cultures believe that the drink opens up the user to extraordinary perceptions and potentially healing powers.
Banisteriopsis caapi is steeped in cultural mythology and indigenous traditional practices. It is considered worldwide as a unique entheogen that produces a sense of wholesome connection within the user, engendering mystical experiences. For millennia, this plant has been considered a gift from the gods throughout the Amazon basin. It is still regarded as sacred by many indigenous communities and is often referred to as a “Master Plant Teacher” by which one could enter a spiritual healing doorway. Many cultures also believe that it facilitates self-awareness, dream-like visions, and helps overcome existential challenges.
Habitat
The Banisteriopsis caapi vine is native to the Amazon rainforests of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. It thrives in humus-rich soils, climbing and embracing other Amazonian trees in search of sunlight. It can grow up to 40 feet in height! Its leaves are oval-shaped and dark green with a slight silvery appearance. B. caapi prefers to grow on strong trees, and the vine itself becomes thick and woody with age. The flowers are tiny, of a white to pinkish color, yet are seldom seen in bloom. Banisteriopsis caapi Mono has distinctive rounded and big knots along its stem.
Scientific Information
The bark of Banisteriopsis caapi contains 0.11-0.83% B-carboline alkaloids such as harmine, harmaline, and tetrahydroharmine. These components are potent monoamine oxidase-A inhibitors (MAOI) that have been reported to support neurogenesis in the brain. Many ongoing pharmacology and clinical studies have provided evidence that Banisteriopsis caapi may have therapeutic applications as an immune modulator, as well as in the treatment of some psychological disorders like alcoholism, substance abuse, and serotonergic deficits.
