Ayahuasca can have profound effects on mental and physical well-being. While it is generally considered safe when taken in a controlled setting under the guidance of experienced shamans or facilitators, there are risks, including psychological distress, interactions with medications, and potential complications for those with certain medical conditions. It's crucial to thoroughly prepare and educate yourself before engaging in an Ayahuasca ceremony.
