This mixed-methods case series study (n=8) investigated the impact of a 3-day ayahuasca intervention on military veterans with PTSD. Results indicate that 87.5% of participants demonstrated clinically significant improvements in PTSD symptoms post-treatment, with 70% maintaining these changes at a 3-month follow-up. Veterans also reported significant improvements in momentary PTSD symptoms and daily life affect, citing deep positive emotions, decentering/acceptance, and purpose in life as perceived benefits.
