The Piaroa people use Banisteriopsis caapi as a hunger suppressant and stimulant.
The harmine and harmaline in the plant inhibit MAO-A, while tetrahydroharmine moderately inhibits serotonin reuptake. These two mechanisms reduce depression.
Banisteriopsis caapi and other MAO-B inhibitors fight motor symptoms and problems found in Parkinson’s disease.
Our vision is to reach as many people as possible worldwide to spread the message and healing of the plant medicine. Our goal is to help the indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest, the medicine gatherers, with their ongoing projects to improve their quality of life such as clean water, housing, education and medical attention.
Our mission is to bring the highest quality of plant medicine from trusted sustainable sources in the Amazon rainforest that’s been harvested and made with utmost integrity to protect our beloved Mother Earth from depletion.
