Can Ayahuasca Save the World?
In previous blogposts, we shared about the history of Ayahuasca, the increasingly popular Amazonian brew known for its powerful psychoactive properties. We have seen how this traditional medicine, made from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the Psychotria viridis shrub, has has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes in the Amazon, for a variety of purposes. In this article, we will focus less on the history or the cultural and social context of the different uses. Rather, we will explore one of the most common tropes in the plant medicine world: Can Ayahuasca really change the world?

Dr. Jeff on How You Can Become Your Own Therapist
It is well-known that stress, anxiety, and depression can lead to a variety of physical symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, stomach problems, and even chronic illnesses. Often, such physical symptoms are the result of underlying emotional issues that have not been addressed or resolved. The Rythmia program understands the importance of identifying and addressing such emotional issues and empowers individuals to take charge of their own physical, mental, and emotional health.

Plant Medicine for Vets Struggling with Trauma and PTSD with Dr. Jeff
The Western medical model falls short in helping people overcome trauma. All of us have some level of trauma in our lives, and the traditional model of therapy can be time-consuming and costly. Although therapy is beneficial, it may not be sufficient for people dealing with severe traumatic events, such as veterans. Quick and efficient help is essential, and plant medicine, particularly Ayahuasca, is one of the quickest and most effective healing modalities.

My Personal Story about Plant Medicine Healing at Rythmia
When I decided to participate in Rythmia's Ayahuasca plant medicine ceremonies in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, I was driven by a strong desire for personal change and insights into the root causes of my many fears, self-doubts, and insecurities. I completed many hours of formal therapy in the past, but I still felt stuck in life and weighed down by stress and constant worry.
