I've read a fair amount about it. I realized too late that I wrote the OP too much like a noob asking for people to explain everything to him.

I just wanted to know what people here might have to say about it. Because the internet seems unclear/conflicting in some areas

depending on what plant materials you're using, there are much easier ways to make aya, ways that dont make you purge.



but since you want to do it in a traditional way, have fun puking bro

Neve had aya, but i respect you for taking that challenge.


I feel like the cleansing/purging process would not exactly be good for me while in the face of a 15-20 hour trip..

It's a curious thing how much of the purging is due to minor components of the herbs and how much is due to the psychoactives (DMT and harmalas) themselves.


Serotonin is normally  catabolized  in the  body  by MAO,  and  therefore the  MAO-
inhibitors,  such  as  the  harmala  alkaloids  present  in  ayahuasca,  would
lead  to  an  increase  in endogenous  serotonin  levels that  may  account  for
the  fact that  ayahuasca  takers  are  often remarkably  calm  and  unafraid
in  view  of  the  sometimes  terrifying  visions  that  they  are  confronting.
Serotonin  is  also  present  in  the  intestines  where  it  increases  intestinal
motility,  and  at  high  levels  can  induce  vomiting  and  diarrhea.  These
are  the  basis  for the  purging  action  of  ayahuasca,  which  is  also  known
among the mestizo healers  as la purga.

Yea nowhere close to 15-20 hours. Shit ripped my asshole open though for 3-4 hours definitely a lot more then I bargained for.

What Salomon said. I've done alot of oral huasca although eventually I switched to pharma with rue instead of caapi for maoi because pharma didn't make me purge which I didn't enjoy at all the first few times and rue is much quicker and easier to toss and wash than to spend a whole day brewing caapi. My longest experience lasted maybe 5-6 hours in total. Most lasted only 3-4 hours.
