Women in Tijuana experience healing, spirituality, and well-being through ritual ayahuasca consumption, which has been reterritorialized into local alternative therapy circuits and participants' therapeutic-spiritual assemblages. Based on ethnographic fieldwork at a therapeutic care center, the article describes the ayahuasca ritual and, through two paradigmatic cases, analyzes how participants experience well-being and healing in ceremonies, referring to ayahuasca as a medicine that allows them to heal with love. The study examines embodiment processes in the ritual context to discuss how women configure self-knowledge, well-being, and healing.
