Purges

Purging is an essential step on the path to Medicine. The plants cleanse the body and mind and prepare us for a deep spiritual experience.

In this vessel is the ambar water. It is drunk to purify the body and relieve emotional burdens.

Ambar water is prepared in a large pot and is drunk before a yagé ceremony to purify the body and take away emotional burdens.

To purify oneself, this liquid should be downed until the stomach is full. In this way, the body will return the water. Ambar water will not only cleanse the body but will also carry away negativity, energies that don't belong to us, emotional distress, and thoughts, that invisible baggage that we carry in our lives and that we are unaware of.

If possible, the process is done next to a river while fasting. Mother Nature will take our waste and transform it into life.

In these photos, we see the ambar, but we can also clean with other plants, such as achapo or chiparo.
