Camalonga — Strychnos toxifera (cam-a-long-ga)
This essence is prepared from the seeds of the Camalonga tree, a revered teacher plant that works in the realm of dreams. Its medicine is known for opening the gates to vivid, lucid dreaming — where the boundary between waking and sleeping dissolves, and awareness blooms within the dreamscape. Connect with the spirit of Camalonga to be guided through dreams of insight, clarity, and transformation. The energetic colour of Camalonga’s medicine is a soft, light blue, reflecting the vastness of sky and water — a hue of spaciousness, expansiveness, and calm.
Each essence has been prepared with its own medicine song, an icaro. Icaros are a form of communication between the shaman and the spirit world — sung to set the healing intention and call forth the medicine of the tree. Every essence is uniquely created by choosing particular qualities of each plant and invoking its spirit through song.
Other traditional uses
Other traditional uses
The seeds of this tree are used by shamans known as Camalongeros as a medium for their healing work. It is considered a teacher and power plant. Male and female Camalonga seeds are macerated in sugarcane alcohol (aguardiente) along with male and female camphor — sometimes with the addition of white onion. The shaman connects with the doctor or medicine spirits of Camalonga, and the brew is then ingested by the patient before sleep. The spirits work to align and straighten a person’s energy while they dream.
Lucid Dreaming
If you wish to work with Camalonga for both purification, healing, and lucid dreaming, follow the instructions provided with the essence. For lucid dreaming alone, take six drops before going to bed — as often as desired.
