Ayahuasca, psychedelics, and Dr Joe Tafur's journey from trained doctor to the Peruvian Amazon

"I had the opportunity to enter into a traditional ceremony and I had a major shift." Find out more at https://www.drjoetafur.com/ Dr Joe has written two books, both available now: ‘The fellowship of the river’ and ‘Medicine song: spiritual healing and the psychedelic renaissance’ Follow Dr Joe on Insta https://www.instagram.com/dr.joetafur/ Find him on all other socials too. Psychedelics have been used for thousands of years in traditional indigenous ceremonies – particularly in parts of South America. Research is showing very promising results for psychedelic therapy when it comes to things like treatment resistant depression, PTSD, and addiction. However despite a growing body of evidence on what psychedelic therapy can do, ayahuasca (along with other psychedelics) is classified in the UK (and in many other parts of the world) as a Schedule 1 drug. Dr Sophie is therefore not advocating the use of any illegal substances. Thanks for listening to Age Well with Dr Sophie Shotter – please rate and review the show if you get a moment.
