Using Rainforest Medicine To Heal: Samart The Shamaness

Have you ever thought – what is the purpose of my life? Am I really in touch with myself? How does one even “get in touch with themselves”?
Samart is a shamaness, a spiritual leader. She dedicates her life to finding peace and contentment within herself, and teaching others how to do the same. She does this through a combination of ritual practices and herbal medicines, including one called Kambo – an Amazonian herbal medicine that comes from a poisonous tree frog.
Everything about Samart whispers of enchantment and mysticism. From her lightly accented, soft-spoken singing to her willowy frame and knee-length wavy hair
Meanwhile her tween daughter is into hip hop and performs Tik Tok dances in their bedroom, as her partner prepares a vegan risotto in the kitchen.
As otherworldly as Samart’s life seems, her practise is steeped in logic, and offers another way to navigate this ever-complicated world – using introspection to see more clearly when you look outward.
The practices discussed in this episode should not be partaken of without guidance and prior consultation from a medical professional and in accordance with the laws of your region.
