The meaning of ritualized use of ayahuasca in the treatment of homeless users in a group in São Paulo. 2011. 176 p. Dissertation (Master Degree in Public Health). Faculdade de Saúde Pública da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo.This research has the objective of understanding the ritual use of ayahuasca (known as Daime by the participants of this group) for the treatment of homeless drug users by the Unidade de Resgate Flor das Águas Padrinho Sebastião, in São Paulo, Brazil. Ayahuasca is a tea made from the mixture of two Amazonian plants, most commonly the jagube and chacrona. It is used in rituals by indigenous and mestizo long and leads to a change in the experience of self and the world in its intake. Since the 1980"s its use has spread to other parts of Brazil and the world and the rituals started to have different formats.

This research qualitatively investigated four treatments for addiction in Brazil that use ibogaine as the main tool in the process. Ibogaine is a substance derived from an African plant, Tabernanthe iboga, traditionally used in its region of origin and which leads to intense sensations during its acute effects and also different experiences of oneself and the surrounding world in the period after its use. It’s considered a non‐typical psychedelic. We visited the clinics and interviewed professionals and patients of these places. In this article, we focus on how ibogaine is used for addiction and depression treatment and how its effect is understood. There is variation in patient screening and preparation, how the ibogaine is determined, and the care practices proposed after the treatment. These variations seem to be influenced by the context where ibogaine is inserted and their practices. We identified three different contexts that influence ibogaine use in Brazil: the market of addiction treatment clinics, the Brazilian urban religious use of ayahuasca, and the medical context of ibogaine use developed by Howard Lotsof.
