Les sociétés d'indigènes du bassin Amazonien utilisent depuis des milliers d'années un breuvage à base de plantes nommé Ayahuasca. Ce dernier est composé de deux plantes : Banisteriopsis caapi et Psychotria viridis. Toutes deux apportent à la boisson des alcaloïdes, respectivement des béta-carbolines et de la diméthyltryptamine. L'association de ces derniers entraîne une altération de l’état de conscience. Cette condition est traditionnellement utilisée par des chamans à des fins curatives. Ce pouvoir de guérison a été diffusé par Internet et a entraîné le développement d’un tourisme chamanique, mais aussi des usages détournés de cette substance classée comme stupéfiante dans de nombreux pays. Cependant, en se basant sur les résultats de la médecine traditionnelle, des essais cliniques ont été menés afin d'étudier la possibilité d'utiliser l'Ayahuasca dans le traitement de certaines pathologies The indigenous societies of the Amazon basin have been using for thousands of years a beverage called Ayahuasca. This one is composed of two plants: Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis. Both give alkaloids to the beverage, beta-carbolines and N,N-dimethyltryptamine, respectively. The association of these molecule leads to an alteration of the state of consciousness. This condition is traditionally used by shamans for curative purposes. This healing power has been disseminated via the Internet, which has led to the development of shamanic tourism, but also the misuse of this substance, which has been classified as narcotic in many countries. However, based on the results of traditional medicine, clinical trials have been conducted to investigate the possibility of using Ayahuasca in the treatment of some pathology
