What are Mambe and Ambil?

Mambe and Ambil are ancestral medicines from the Amazon.

Mambe is a powder, the product of crushing and sifting toasted coca leaves and mixed with the ash of yarumo leaves. The indigenous people of the Amazon have done it for spiritual and medicinal purposes since time immemorial. The act of “mambear” generally involves all the ways of consuming coca leaf, which are several: in the mountains the entire leaf is consumed, mixed with lime obtained from crushing seashells in a poporo. In Peru and Bolivia it is consumed in tea or chewed with lye, and in the Amazon, Mambe.

Mambe emanates the word of life, a “sweet word”, it teaches us to express ourselves with more sweetness and take us to a state of consciousness where our words can become very healing and honest.  💚

The mambeadero or word circles, is where since ancient times the grandparents shared the word with their people, creating a practice of pure speech from these beautiful medicines with spiritual and medicinal purposes by the indigenous people of the Amazon.

Mambe is eaten by spoonfuls and with the saliva a ball is formed that is placed inside the cheek, once you have the mambe in your mouth you can start the salivation process to obtain a moist paste which will dissolve easily its substance little by little with the beneficial properties of the mambe.  🍃

Mambe is often accompanied by its Yanantin, its complement, the Ambil. Together they are called “the marriage”. The masculine and the feminine part, which help us balance these two energies in ourselves (Mambe feminine-Ambil masculine).

The Ambil medicine is tobacco paste with salts made by natives of the Colombian Amazon jungle, and helps us with our thoughts, to focus and direct the arrows better, that is where the responsibility of the word arises.  🌟
