Before a 🐸 , the first thing to do is to drink water 💧. Plenty of it. Between 1 and 2 litres! Occasionally water is replaced by a manioc juice obtained from boiling the roots. It's a medium thick liquid, pretty much tasteless. See the photo attached.

This needs to be taken on an empty stomach, this is the reason why Kambo ceremonies take place in the morning.

This amount of water will make sense later.

My first reaction to Kambo was disappointment: where are the frogs?!

Typically during a Kambo ceremony, you don't see the frogs. Their secretions have already been extracted and are stored dried on a piece of wood.

So, for the curious (me included), here is what the frog looks like (from Wikipedia): Phyllomedusa bicolor, bicolor tree-frog.

Have you heard of Kambo 🐸?
Here's a thread about my experience with it in the jungle of with the Huni Kuin people.

Before going there, I had heard of kambo but never had the opportunity to try this . It consists of applying secretions on burnt skin.

I'll post the different steps in the next few days 👇🧵

As we can see in this video 👆, these patterns are mostly handled by women. I've observed it myself when living in a Huni Kuin community in 2023.

However, the community where I was didn't bake their own ceramic. So it's fascinating to see how they do it in this documentary.

Anyway, this is great news that the cultural heritage of the Huni Kuin peoples is finally recognised officially 🥇

This is huge! The Huni Kuin people patterns (called Kene Kuin) have just received recognition as a cultural heritage of Brazil. This happens just one month after a similar recognition from the Peruvian Ministry of Culture (Feb 23).

These patterns are found everywhere - in their face and body paints, traditional clothes, ceramics...

Here' a short and interesting documentary on the topic:

One last photo to end this thread on San Pedro 🌵.

It is a San Pedro cactus intertwined with a Brugmansia (Angel's trumpet), which is closely related to Datura, another psychoactive plant. Although there, it was purely an ornamental plant.

If you speak 🇫🇷 there's a superb series of podcasts on people and the challenges they face.
The take is not entirely negative though and some episodes are quite uplifting!

It's a honest presentation and touches on topics such as cultural appropriation and colonialism. The answer lies in reconciling these 2 approaches so they work together.
