Ayahuasca can bring various physical responses, which are a natural part of the cleansing process. Common effects include:

  • Nausea and vomiting (known as la purga)

  • Shaking, sweating, or chills

  • Tension or fatigue in the body

  • Diarrhea (less common, but possible)

  • Changes in body temperature or heart rate

These effects vary for each person and usually pass as the ceremony unfolds. They’re seen as part of the body’s way of releasing what needs to be let go. You’ll be held in a safe, supported space, and we’ll be there to guide you with care throughout the process.
