Ayahuasca, a psychoactive Amazonian substance traditionally used for spiritual, medical, and religious purposes, gained popularity in the 1990s through international spirituality networks and the psychedelic research renaissance. This article describes and analyzes the healing processes of four addiction cases treated at the Institute of Applied Amazonian Ethnopsychology (IDEAA), a center treating Spanish patients brought to the Brazilian Amazon. Using a qualitative biographical methodology integrating cognitive and cultural approaches, the study describes the intervention process and patients' biographical narratives.
