Research Department – Takiwasi Center

The mission of the Takiwasi Center's research department is to generate rigorous and interdisciplinary scientific knowledge on the therapeutic use of Amazonian medicinal plants and their integration with Western psychotherapy, with an emphasis on the treatment of addictions and mental health. Over more than three decades, Takiwasi has developed a unique therapeutic model that combines ancestral indigenous knowledge with modern clinical tools. Research plays a fundamental role in validating this approach, contributing to intercultural dialogue, the documentation of traditional practices, and the evaluation of their therapeutic efficacy.
