Fresh and healthy foods like vegetables and fruits, as well as grains, are the way to go about this diet. In terms of meat, if you are not a vegetarian, it is best to limit yourself to chicken, and fish, but keep it to a minimum. Do not use too many spices and limit the intake of salt and sugar. No Alcohol. Some types of foods do not go well with ayahuasca, these are foods that contain the amino acid “tyramine”. Under normal circumstances this is not a problem, but when we have a MAO inhibitor active in our system, tyramine can be absorbed in the body. This causes a release of adrenaline, which can cause headaches, sweating, increased heart rate and blood pressure.  Some medication, drugs and supplements are also prohibited with the use of ayahuasca and must be stopped 3 weeks before the ceremony.
