Banisteriopsis caapi is commonly known as the ayahuasca vine. It is NOT the brew. The brew is a two part ingredient whereas this is just the vine itself. The brew is composed of a DMT-containing plant that's activated by the B. Caapi vine via the harmine, tetrahydroharmine, and harmaline alkaloids. Two entirely different experiences!

 

The Banisteriopsis Caapi vine is a perennial plant native to the Amazon rainforest. It contains several psychoactive alkaloids (if taken in macro-doses), including harmine, tetrahydroharmine, and harmaline, which are central to its traditional use in ayahuasca brews. The vine has a long history of ceremonial and therapeutic use among indigenous tribes for spiritual exploration, healing, and divination ceremonies.
