Banisteriopsis caapi Powdered Vine
Banisteriopsis caapi
This 100% organic finely powdered Banisteriopsis caapi vine is the "cielo" strain, also known as "yellow". They are aged to perfection before being harvested and have been prepared respectfully to ensure "the spirit" is not lost or damaged.
Traditional & Modern Use:
The B. caapi plant has been recognized for its shamanic potential for hundreds of years as a respected admixture to the religious Ayahuasca brew. The other primary ingredient is Psychotria viridis which is understood to provide the “light” while B. caapi provides the “force”. Many believe that the vines were the only part of the plant used for divinatory purposes, but in fact several Indian tribes commonly used B. caapi leaves either on their own or as an additive to brews or smoking blends. The Pastaza Runa Indians often use the leaves in replacement of the vine when the vine material is not as plentiful and the Napo Runa Indians consistently add leaves to the brew to enhance the enlightenment that the B. caapi plant has to offer. B. caapi leaves are often smoked for subtle but familiar effects.
We offer these specimens as part of our Ayahuasca Collector's Items to display and cherish in remembrance of a well-respected culture rich with shamanistic healing. Ingestion may be dangerous... DO NOT CONSUME!
