People travel the world and spend tens of thousands of dollars to attend ayahuasca retreats, so it must offer some pretty amazing benefits. Research has found short-term and long-term benefits of drinking this brew. Some research-backed and anecdotal benefits include:

  • More emotional regulation
  • Healing from past trauma
  • Experiencing a more open mind
  • Increased feelings of acceptance
  • A boost in memory (NIH)
  • A sense of psychological well-being
  • Feeling more empowered
  • Easing symptoms of depression (NIH)
  • Easing symptoms of PTSD
  • Helping with addiction recovery (NIH)

 

Some studies have even found that, long after taking ayahuasca, a person’s brain structure and function change. Ayahuasca can, according to the NIH, help protect brain cells and boost the production of new neural cells.
