Thousands of indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazon
region use Banisteriopsis Caapi Vine in sacred religious and
healing ceremonies, as part of their traditional religions.
It is the main ingredient in Ayahuasca, a sacred medicine
used for millennia in order to enter the sacred supernatural
world for healing, divination, and worship. To prepare
Ayahuasca, sections of Banisteriopsis Caapi vine were boiled
with leaves from a number of potential admixture plants such
as Psychotria viridis (Chacruna) or Diplopterys cabrerana
(Chagropanga, Chaliponga) to make the Ayahuasca.
Psychotria Viridis (Chacruna) is found throughout the
Amazon and in the tropical regions of both
hemispheres.
Chacruna is the most common companion to
Banisteriopsis Caapi to produce Ayahuasca. Sections
of Banisteriopsis Caapi vine are boiled with leaves
from the Psychotria viridis plant.
Diplopterys cabrerana (Chagropanga, Chaliponga) is
a regular admixture to Banisteriopsis Caapi in
Ayahuasca brews in much of the Amazon. Although
Psychotria viridis (Chacruna) is more familiar and the
most commonly associated admixture plant with the
Caapi vine, Chaliponga is preferred by many
ayahuascaros through the Amazon in Equador,
Western Columbia and Northern Peru and actual use
of Chagropanga in Ayahuasca may be more
common than Chacruna overall.
The alkaloid content of Chaliponga can be several
times that of Chacruna and some tribes such as the
Harakmbet believe that one must "graduate" to
Ayahuasca with Chaliponga after four or five
Chacruna-prepared Ayahuasca experiences.

Alchornea floribunda (Iporuru, Niando) is used in
Gabonese religions where the root has a reputation as
an intoxicant and aphrodisiac. Niando is said to
provide a state of intense excitement followed by a
deep, sometimes fatal depression.
The locals report that they learned to use the Iporuru
root after observing gorillas. It has now been shown that
gorillas in Equatorial Guinea and chimpanzees in the
Republic of Guinea use the Alchornea floribunda root
as an intoxicant.
Indigenous Amazonian peoples and Venezuelan's use
the Iporuru roots for everything from treating arthritis to
an aphrodisiac to an added ingredient for making
Ayahuasca.
Mimosa hostilis has been valued for thousands
of years in South America for its entheogenic
properties.
