Contraindications

Ayahuasca is not suitable for everyone, and safety is the highest priority. Please review the following carefully:

1. Medications
   If you are taking antidepressants, benzodiazepines, sleeping pills, or other drugs, ayahuasca is not safe unless these medications are discontinued at least 21 days before the ceremony.
   Combining ayahuasca with these substances is extremely dangerous and can be lethal.
2. Recreational drugs
   Using recreational drugs together with ayahuasca carries severe risks and can also be lethal. Abstain completely for 14 days before the ceremony.
3. Medical conditions
   Ayahuasca is not recommended for people with severe heart conditions, extremely high blood pressure, or mental health disorders such as schizophrenia or dementia.
4. Pregnancy
   Pregnant women should avoid ayahuasca for their own safety and the safety of the baby.

If you are unsure whether this is appropriate for your health situation, please reach out to discuss it. The aim is to ensure your journey is safe, supportive, and aligned with your well-being.
