Hmm, from the description I would have thought it could be the same as Ajo Sacha, which does get used in Aya-rituals.

So I have no idea, sorry.
Edit: Found it, it is Aristolochia didyma, also called Yawar Panga, and (Wikipedia):
Quote: It is a powerful purgative, sometimes used in traditional rites to purify the body a few days before an Ayahuasca session.
I claim not that this is the truth. As this is just what got manifested into my mind at the current position in time on this physical plane. So please feel not offended by anything I say.
