Ayahuasca means different things to different people. For some communities in the Amazon River basin, it’s a traditional brew with medicinal and spiritual value. For other people — especially those living outside of South America — it’s a psychedelic substance that promises a mind-altering experience worth traveling for. For people living with or researching certain mental health conditions, it may be a long-hoped-for breakthrough.

Conversations about Ayahuasca use are clearly complicated. So, let’s back up and ask a more basic question: What exactly is Ayahuasca? And is it safe to use? We asked addiction psychiatrist David Streem, MD. He details the side effects and risks associated with Ayahuasca — and explains why its main active chemical DMT may be a promising topic for future medical research.

What is Ayahuasca?

Ayahuasca is a hallucinogenic tea (or occasionally, snuff) made by boiling a mixture of plants. According to Dr. Streem, the main active chemical is a substance called dimethyltryptamine (DMT).

“Ayahuasca is traditionally used by people in the Amazon River basin — that’s South American countries like Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador,” Dr. Streem shares.

Within these cultures, a shaman or curandero is responsible for preparing Ayahuasca, which has spiritual and religious significance. Outside of ritual use in those countries, DMT can also be smoked, snorted or injected.

“DMT has a structure that looks similar to serotonin, which is a very important brain chemical,” he explains. “The boiling process also releases other chemicals that increase absorption. DMT can also be chemically extracted from the same plants using industrial processes.”

At a chemical level, Ayahuasca is similar to psychedelics like LSD, mescaline and psilocybin. But — unlike those psychedelics — it’s rare to see Ayahuasca in use outside of South America. Instead, curiosity seekers travel to South America to go on guided “Ayahuasca trips.”

DMT is illegal in India, the United Kingdom and most European countries. In the USA and Canada, there are some exceptions allowing the use of Ayahuasca for specific religious observances.

Side effects of Ayahuasca use

Dr. Streem says people who use Ayahuasca for non-spiritual purposes usually do so because they want to experience side effects they perceive as positive, like euphoria. But that often means they have to endure unpleasant side effects, too.

While research suggests Ayahuasca use is generally safe in a controlled environment, that doesn’t mean it’s risk-free.

Physical side effects

Of the more than 10,000 people who completed the Global Ayahuasca Survey, about 70% of the participants experienced physical side effects while using the substance, with nausea and vomiting being the most common (and, frankly, expected) symptom.

Dr. Streem says that the primary risks and side effects of Ayahuasca include:

 

• Euphoria
• Visual or auditory hallucinations.
• Anxiety.

Ayahuasca’s physical side effects tend to be relatively minor and short-lived — only 2.3% of users reported needing medical attention. The impact on mental health can be a bit more intense, both for good and for ill.

Mental health side effects

About 56% of the Global Ayahuasca Survey respondents reported that they experienced a negative impact on their mental health in the days and weeks following Ayahuasca use. For some, those side effects were significant enough to require the help of a mental health professional.

The top five “negative” mental health impacts reported in the survey, listed from most to least common, were:

• Hearing and seeing things other people don’t.
• Feeling disconnected or alone.
• Nightmares, disturbing thoughts, feelings or sensations.
• Feeling nervous, anxious or on edge.
• Feeling down, depressed or hopeless.

This is where it starts to get complicated. Distressing as those (and other) side effects may have been, nearly 90% of the participants who reported these experiences saw them as part of “a positive process of growth or integration.” (The survey didn’t investigate the long-term impact on the other 10%.)

Interestingly, the why of Ayahuasca use seemed to play a role in the kind and severity of mental health side effects: People whose cultural or spiritual practices involved Ayahuasca use had notably fewer negative experiences than people who used it in an uncontrolled or recreational context. DMT

So, are these “negative” side effects negative? And who gets to decide? Questions like these are why research that deals with spirituality, culture and psychopharmacology gets so messy so fast. It’s also part of the reason that some researchers suspect Ayahuasca may be beneficial when used in a controlled medical setting. More on the possible future of DMT in a bit — first we need to cover the risks of Ayahuasca use that go beyond side effects.
