What is the Ayahuasca Purge?

The ayahuasca purge, also know as 'la purga' is the process of eliminating energy, emotions, and trauma from the body through physical action. The ayahuasca purge can come in a number of ways, and everyone experiences it differently. Some of the most common types of purging on ayahuasca include:

​

• Vomiting

• Diahreah

• Sweating

• Crying

• Yawning

• Shaking

• Laughing

• Watery Eyes

Many guests express concerns about the ayahuasca purge and wonder if there’s a way to avoid it. It's understandable—purging doesn’t sound particularly enjoyable. However, the ayahuasca purge isn’t just about the physical act. It’s about the release that comes with it, which can feel profoundly cathartic, healing, and liberating.

​

It’s natural to feel some apprehension about this aspect of the ayahuasca experience. Yet, anyone familiar with the medicine will tell you how essential the purge is. It plays a crucial role in the healing process and is nothing to fear.

​

When you purge, you release built-up energy. Our bodies are incredibly intelligent, but they also hold onto trauma at a cellular level. This stored trauma can manifest as physical pain or even illness. In Western culture, we often overindulge in processed or chemically treated foods, which can also contribute to energetic and physical imbalances.

​

The purge provides an opportunity to cleanse the system—not just physically, but energetically. Ayahuasca gathers negative energy and helps expel it through the purge. Afterward, participants often feel lighter, cleaner, and freer. Interestingly, the purge often coincides with the peak of the experience, leading to an intense and transformative phase once the release has occurred.

It’s worth noting that not everyone purges in the same way—or at all. For some, the purge manifests subtly, through watery eyes, yawning, or deep sighs. Whatever form it takes, it’s all part of the process, and the medicine will guide your body to do what it needs to heal.
