Mild to extreme feelings of euphoria, feeling of connectedness to the universe, love, and empathy. Profound life-changing spiritual experiences/realizations/thoughts, a sense of inner peace, acceptance of self, others, and the world. Feeling sleepy/yawning, sedation.

Side Effects of Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca is a powerful plant-based medicine traditionally used by Amazonian shamans for spiritual healing and self-discovery. While many participants report profound insights, emotional release, and spiritual awakening, the experience can also bring intense physical and psychological effects.
How Does Ayahuasca Make You Feel?
Ayahuasca can trigger a wide range of emotional, physical, and spiritual sensations:
A deep sense of connection with nature, the universe, and oneself
Intense emotions such as love, empathy, joy, or sadness
Visual and auditory visions, sometimes involving animals, gods, or symbolic images
A feeling of spiritual awakening and expanded consciousness
However, these effects vary for each person and can range from euphoric to challenging depending on your intentions and mindset.
What Happens to You After Ayahuasca? 🌿
After the ceremony, many people report:
A sense of clarity and emotional release
Reconnection with personal goals and relationships
Feeling lighter, calmer, and more focused
Increased self-awareness and a greater sense of purpose
Some participants, however, may feel emotionally drained or need time to process their experiences, which is completely normal.
How Long Do Ayahuasca Effects Last?
The main effects usually start 30 to 40 minutes after drinking the brew and last 4 to 6 hours. However, the emotional and spiritual insights gained can last days, weeks, or even a lifetime.
Does Ayahuasca Change You Permanently?
Yes, for many people, ayahuasca can be life-changing. It may help:
Release emotional trauma
Shift limiting beliefs
Enhance self-love and empathy
Inspire personal growth and spiritual awakening
However, permanent change depends on how you integrate the lessons into your daily life after the retreat.
What Happens to Your Brain on Ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca contains DMT (dimethyltryptamine), a natural psychoactive compound that:
Activates serotonin receptors, affecting mood and perception
Increases connectivity between brain regions, enabling new insights
Can lead to vivid visions and altered states of consciousness
Recent studies suggest that ayahuasca may help rewire negative thought patterns and reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD when used responsibly.
How Long Does It Take for Ayahuasca to Leave the Body?
Ayahuasca typically clears from your bloodstream within 24 hours, but traces of DMT may remain detectable for up to 2 to 3 days depending on your metabolism.
However, the mental and emotional effects can persist much longer as part of your integration process.
What Is the Purging After Ayahuasca?
Purging is a natural cleansing process and an essential part of many ayahuasca ceremonies. It may involve:
Vomiting 🤮
Diarrhea 💧
Sweating or shaking 😓
Crying or emotional release 😢
Shamans believe purging helps remove negative energies, toxins, and emotional blockages, allowing for deeper healing. While uncomfortable, many participants describe it as liberating and transformative.
