Camalongeros are pretty rear type of shamans, not many ppl know how to handle Camalonga(same with Datura, Toecito). I would compare it's effectiveness to ayawaska Camalonga is extremely powerful and well respected plant used for treating nervous system disorders, mental illness/weakness and so forth.

In the Amazonian tradition, the camalonga seeds are macerated in sugar cane alcohol, with male and female camphor and wild onion. (This is NOT a pleasant-tasting mixture, to be sure!) You drink what amounts to about a shot glass of the mixture before going to bed. The initial effects are a slightly light-headed sensation, but nothing too over-the-top. In my experience, there is no vomiting, pain, or any other unpleasant side effects. As you sleep, the camalonga straightens your energy and provides healing. It also facilitates lucid dreaming, and in your dreamspace, you can connect with powerful, guiding spirits. I don't recommend trying it for fun. It's a serious shamanic practice that should be treated with the utmost respect. To that end, there are several dietary restrictions that must be adhered to during the times you consume camalonga.

A small glass is taken twice daily, while concentrating on the icaro of the plant.
