LIST OF DRUGS AND SUBSTANCES
WHAT TO AVOID
BEFORE and immediately AFTER taking ayahuasca:
ATTENTION! If you are diagnosed with a pathology of the cardiovascular system, before the ceremony, consult with your doctor and start taking the decoction with reduced doses. Ayahuasca increases heart rate and blood pressure (primarily "lower", diastolic). For a healthy person, this is not dangerous, but it can worsen the condition of a patient suffering from certain diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Take precautions - and welcome to a new, enlightened life!
