Ayahuasca preparation

[LucidShroomDmtier]

Hello i was wondering about preparations one might do before trying ayahuasca healing . i did some reasearch on the web and it says some general stuf like absinence from sexual activities and stimulation to preserve sexual energies for inner workings some special food diet no sugar no whole fats etc . I also wonder how long before u must start a MAOi . And if one can do the working alone with no shaman or sitter . Or something else important about ayahusca i should know before trying like best dosing and recipe varietions.

thanks.

Scroll to 'preparation and recipes'. Some - but not all - list quantities of ingredients.

And yes about a week of having a 'clean diet' is apparently recommended. I am not sure which types of health foods are recommended but I would just take it very broadly.

I think doing it alone is different from having a guide because when alone it is less clear what kind of matters the experience should address. Having a sort of ritual gives more reference to the experience, complementing with the naturally (/ spontaneously) produced effects. Nevertheless if you do it alone you still get those effects but it is probably harder to utilize and integrate them.
