Ayahuasca - Psychedelics & Healing - DrG talks with Jess Gold

Ayahuasca is a traditional herbal medicine coming out of the shamanic traditions of South America. It is a psychedelic medicine such as LSD and psilocybin, and has demonstrated some profound healing properties. It has become increasingly popular in the past couple of years, with references in movies and TV series. IMPORTANT NOTE: Ayahuaca is currently illegal in the USA This is part of a series of interviews Dr. Gerstmar did with experts to try and understand the real pros and cons of Ayahuasca, and share it with you.

While centuries of use of Ayahuasca and preliminary research show it is generally safe, it is not harmless and can cause serious problems for some people. ======== Ayahuasca, a brew made of Amazonian plants, is becoming increasingly popular. Is it a recreational drug or "10 years of psychotherapy" in one night? Many people are reporting that this psychedelic when done responsibly in a proper set and setting, helps them to unlock stuck areas in their life and health. I caught up with Jess Gold, NTP at PaleoFX 2016. Some of you may remember that Jess worked for me for about 6 months as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner before moving to Bend, OR to be with her fiance. In this podcast we catch up and talk about what she's been up to since that time -- working with the Amazonian medicinal herbal brew Ayahuasca. We discuss what it is, what it's used for, who might benefit, who might not, and perhaps some next steps if you're considering looking into this medicine.
