Název v původním jazyce

Traditional indigenous medicine of the peruvian Amazon and its potential for psychological treatment and personal grow.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This contribution explains the context and basic principles of traditional medicine of the Amazon. In particular, it focuses on the hallucinogenic vine ayahuasca, traditionally used by indigenous communities in the Amazon as a tool for healing, establishing con-tact with spiritual life, and for many other purposes. In the last decades, there is rapidly growing interest in ayahuasca observed among people from other cultures (Europe and the US in particular), who come to the Amazon to undergo the ayahuasca ritual. This contribution demonstrates ayahuasca's psychotherapeutic potential, and shows the pos-sibilities of ayahuasca in structured therapeutic community for drug addicts (Takiwasi). There are potential benefits and risks for individuals undertaking ayahuasca expeditions on their own ("shamanic tourism"). The motivation of these individuals is mentioned in the text.
