What Is Ayahuasca Brew?

Ayahuasca is prepared by boiling in water an admixture consisting mainly of the Amazonian vine Banisteriopsis caapi, rich in beta-carboline alkaloids (such as harmine, harmaline, and tetrahydroharmine), combined with plants containing DMT, commonly Psychotria viridis (“chacruna”). The beta-carbolines act as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), allowing the oral activity of DMT by preventing its breakdown in the digestive system. Some brews may include other admixtures impacting psychoactive potency and toxicity.

The primary psychoactive alkaloids in ayahuasca include:

  • N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT)

  • Harmine

  • Harmaline

  • Tetrahydroharmine (THH)

  • Harmol

Variability in alkaloid content is influenced by plant species, preparation techniques, and regional recipes.
