Ambil – 50g

More about Ambil Paste

Ambil is a thick, dark colored paste made from boiled-down tobacco tea* and other added natural substances like plants, herbs, and alkaline salts. The common practice among Shamans and Elders of communities that use Ambil is to make use of it along with the consumption of other superfoods and medicines, as the energy of one complements the other’s to connect with inner wisdom and perception.

Ambil can produce both stimulant and soothing effects, used to unburden and heal the mind and spirit, as well as to sharpen the mind and the senses, kindling mental clarity and golden thinking, in addition to cleansing the body and offering spiritual protection.

*The strength and taste of Ambil medicine can vary slightly.

How is Ambil used?

Traditionally, a scooping tool (such as a stick or a small, thin bone) is dipped into the Ambil to gather a small amount of the paste, which is then placed onto the fingertip. The paste is rubbed over the gums, teeth, or tongue, where it thins out with saliva and absorbs into the bloodstream.

The direct insertion of fingers into the paste is avoided mainly for hygienic reasons, as Ambil is commonly shared among several people during the same rituals. People who use Ambil paste often carry small containers of it on a cord around their neck.
