The therapeutic practices of the Ayahuasca Center Flor de Jasmim, a religious brotherhood, are described through ethnographic observation. The center's effectiveness in establishing health and treating diseases rests on the central roles of healers, patients, and spiritual entities in complex interactions. These interactions are key both for acquiring health and for expelling diseases and other misfortunes that affect the lives of those assisted by the center.
