Since 2017, the Ayahuasca Foundation has also hosted plant medicine research looking at how attending an ayahuasca retreat can impact people with depression, anxiety, or trauma. Over a dozen articles have been published from this research, including in the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry demonstrating that attending an ayahuasca retreat can produce epigenetic changes that significantly reduce depression and anxiety.
