The mandrake plant also has medicinal properties, but of a different sort. This trio, or family, has been revered as sacred in many indigenous traditions, usually separately. Contraindications? Ayahuasca is not for everyone. It is a brutal teacher and needs to be treated with respect and preparation. Its lessons are invaluable but only for those who are ready to receive them.

You are the best in the world. What do you think about the husband of Ayahuasca, called Iboga and what do you think about her daughter, the mandrake of Europe. Similar plants, different effects and every continent has its own. I have a question, there are so many stories about contra-indications. What are the real contra-indications for Ayahuasca? Thank you very much for your answer and time, With a heartregard from the farm, Maria Straatman Dear Mr. Kripnner,

I am so glad I found you. You are the best in the world.

What do you think about the husband of Ayahuasca, called Iboga and what do you think about her daughter, the mandrake of Europe.
Similar plants, different effects and every continent has its own.

I have a question, there are so many stories about contra-indications.

What are the real contra-indications for Ayahuasca?

Thank you very much for your answer and time,

With a heartregard from the farm,

Maria Straatman
