Soul Vine Banisteriopsis Caapi is a sacred plant medicine and an herbal agent that has profound and powerful healing properties for the physical, mental and emotional bodies.

Apart from its indigenous use as a medicine for the healing of the mind, body, and soul, studies in western medicine regarding its healing properties have been impressive. A study published in Scientific Reports journal in 2017 has shown the effects of caapi, alkaloids, harmine, harmaline, and tetrahydro harmine (which are MAO inhibitors), to increase brain function, work as an antioxidant and antidepressant, and help against Parkinson’s Disease. Also, Banisteriopsis caapi may help treat adult neurological disorders by stimulating neuroplasticity and its antioxidant properties can help protect the neural cell damage. 

Banisteriopsis caapi (also known as Ayahuasca, Caapi or Yage) is a vine that has had a long history of entheogenic use and has been regarded as a “plant teacher”. Traditionally, Banisteriopsis caapi has been used medicinally among the indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest. The name Ayahuasca literally means "vine of the soul".

Suggested Use:

First and foremost, consult your doctor before using this plant extract as it is a natural MAO-inhibitor and should not be taken while taking any MAO or SSR inhibitors, antidepressants, anti-anxiety, anti-psychotics, sleeping meds, blood pressure meds, and breastfeeding or pregnant.

To ensure optimal usage of the product, we recommend that you refrigerate the bottles after opening and shake them for 10 seconds prior to every use. The recommended dosage is 5 drops, which should be placed under the tongue and held for 20 minutes if possible. After that, the drops can be swirled around in your mouth before swallowing. If 20 minutes isn't feasible for you, you can do this for 10 or 15 minutes.

While we recommend taking the drops in the morning to avoid forgetting, you can take them at any time during the day that is convenient for you. During the second week, we recommend increasing the dosage to 7 or 8 drops. However, it's important to tune in to your body and see what feels right before increasing the dosage.

In the third week, you can increase the dosage to 9 or 10 drops if you feel comfortable doing so. If you feel that a lower dosage is sufficient, you can continue with that for the remainder of the 4-week cycle. After 4 weeks, it’s recommended to take a break for a week to 10 days. 

It's important to note that some people may experience drowsiness in the beginning of using this product, which could be a sign that your body needs rest. Additionally, many users report having intense and vivid dreams when first starting the product. These dreams may contain messages from the Madre, which could be symbolic for past traumas or memories that need to be resolved or released from your subconscious.

The Madre is always speaking to you, whether in your dreams or in your waking state, providing you with guidance and a fresh perspective on different situations. By paying close attention, you may notice a subtle change in your logical reasoning as you become more attuned to her wisdom.

Throughout your journey with this product, the Madre will provide you with motherly care, sometimes gentle and other times firm, but always with love. It's important to embrace the changes that come with using this product and trust in the guidance provided by the Madre.

After completing your break, it's best to start the next cycle with the number of drops that feels right for you. Sometimes, I started with only 3-4 drops, while other times I began with 15-16 drops, depending on what my body needed. Tune in to the Madre and your body, and you'll receive the message on what is right for you. It's essential to connect and adjust daily as your needs may change.
