AMBIL

This medicine helps us purify, clarify, and enrich our speech so that our spiritual voice may express itself clearly. It is prepared by boiling tobacco leaves in water and then straining the liquid until it becomes a paste, and can include small quantities of other medicinal plants, ash, salt or baking soda. Ambil is consumed by placing a small amount on your gums or beneath your tongue and allowing it to dissolve gradually in your saliva.

 

Ambil connects your mind with your heart, focusing your attention, allowing for direct, conscious, and sincere listening and expression of your truth in harmony with the truth of others. It teaches us how different points of view compliment each other. For many centuries, many peoples and tribes have organized themselves using Ambil to solve issues in the community and to resolve conflicts in a peaceful and loving way.
