Ayahuasca Vine (Banisteriopsis Caapi)
Ayahuasca, meaning ‘vine of the soul’, is traditionally used as a plant medicine amongst the indigenous people of the Amazon Rainforest.
The Ayahuasca plant can be brewed alone as Banisteriopsis Caapi, or in combination with the Chakruna plant which creates the psychoactive Ayahuasca often associated with South American Ayahuasca ceremonies, administered by Shamans for its purgative, cleansing and healing properties.
Banisteriopsis Caapi, or ‘Aya Vine’ as it is commonly known, does not contain DMT, which is only present in the Chakruna plant.
However, Aya Vine alone is a sacred plant medicine and herbal agent, that has incredibly profound and powerful healing properties for the physical, mental and emotional bodies.
The Shamans believe that as a ‘master plant’ it helps enhance people’s empathy and contains a protective and nurturing energy, known as Mother Aya.
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 Tetrahydroharmine (which are MAO inhibitors), to increase brain function, work as an antioxidant and antidepressant, and help to relieve symptoms of 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.
B-Caapi may also have the following benefits:
- Helps with depression and anxiety
- Helps focus attention
- Inspires creativity

- Helps release trauma, old patterns and habits
- Promotes deep inner calm
- Helps bring clarity to finding and fulfilling your life purpose
- Can help relieve symptoms of neuro-degenerative diseases (Parkinsons etc)

The Aya Vine we use comes direct from our reliable and sustainable source in Peru. It is harvested on the full moon and blessed by the plant gatherers, while the extract is being made.
Once received, the B-Caapi tinctures are then made on a full moon in London in a cleansed, clean and sterile environment. They are blessed with singing mantras and prayer, while placed to cool alongside crystals to charge their powerful spirit energy.
So much love goes into the creation of these bottles because we personally know the healing benefits of Mother Aya and believe it is our mission to share Earth’s gift to all who are called and seek the healing of these plants. The loving vibration is evident in every bottle of Banisteriopsis Caapi when microdosed.
