CHANGA

 
Changa ceremony items materials

Changa is a smokable herb mix that combines a DMT-extract — preferably from a natural source such as chacruna (aka the Psychotria viridis shrub) — with an MAOI inhibitor. For the latter, the ayahuasca vine Banisteriopsis caapi is an especially popular choice. When infused with particular herbs DMT evolves into an almost completely different experience combining the plant medicine spirits.

Those are the key ingredients, though changa makers around the world incorporate an infinite variety of other vines and herbs into their unique recipes.

Changa is a ceremonial medicine often referred to as a “smokable ayahuasca” although different, one may have similar experiences often without the physical discomforts such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, as with a traditional ayahuasca tea.

Changa is a mix of medicines and herbs specific to each practitioner.
