The 30 minutes or so after the application of Kambo 🐸 are spent sitting, waiting for the medicine to kick.
You don't get any visions or altered states of consciousness with Kambo, but you get a full and deep body cleansing.
After a little while, you start purging (vomiting) the water.

The skin is burnt using a small wooden stick. Then, the dried frog secretions are scraped with a blunt knife and applied on the burnt skin. Water helps the secretions to dissolve and enter the body.
It doesn't really hurt, but it's uncomfortable.
The more applications, the stronger the effect.

Before a Kambo 🐸 ceremony, the first thing is to drink water 💧. Plenty of it. Between 1 and 2 litres.
Water can be replaced by manioc juice obtained from boiling the roots. It's a thick liquid, and is tasteless. It is taken on an empty stomach, that's why Kambo ceremonies take place in the morning.

My first reaction was disapointment: 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 here is what the frog looks like (from Wikipedia): Phyllomedusa bicolor, bicolor tree-frog.

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.

Another pot of boiling San Pedro! This one from Ecuador.
Unlike the one prepared with fresh cactus that I shared earlier, this one is made from dried powder.

The cactus is sliced and boiled in water for a few hours.
Here's a photo I took when my friend was preparing it in Peru. I was in charged of skimming off the froth, which makes it bitter.
Some people add lemon squeeze for a better taste.

Here's a photo I took while spending time with a Tayta (a shaman) who works with San Pedro and vision quests in the mountains of southern Ecuador.
San Pedro is prepared in the form of little pellets. You would ingest 2 or 3 before a sweat lodge ceremony. I have photos of neither unfortunately.

In this close-up photo, you can see that San Pedro cacti have 6 to 8 ribs. The plant grows more ribs as it gets bigger. I heard some have as many as 13!
Notice the nice green-blue colour.

Let's start a thread about San Pedro, the cactus. Its heart-opening feature makes it one of my favourite plants medicine. Although it grows in the mountain regions of the Andes, I took this photo in a botanical garden in Ecuador.

Tomorrow will be the last day of the microdosing experiment I started on January 6th. Each capsule holds 0.1 g of psilocybe mexicana, taken every other day.
I noticed an impact on my mental health, with less anxiety, even though it took some time to see the results.
Let's see how I feel afterward!

The ceremony is now underway. While the ayahuasca is working, everybody is playing music, singing, and dancing (excuse the quality of the photo).

It's 9pm, the ceremony has started. The participants take turn to drink the sacred brew, in silence, in the candlelit maloca. We've stepped out of everyday's world.

Finally, the ayahuasca brew is left to simmer and reduce. It gradually takes on its characteristic dark brown colour.

Once it has boiled for a little while, the brew is left to cool down briefly. The ayahuasca vines and chacruna leaves are separated, filtered out, from the liquid.

The next step consists of adding water to the vines and leaves and bring it to a boil. Typically, a couple of hours are needed to extract the compounds from the plants.
