The Medicine

Bufo Alvarius commonly known as “Bufo” or “Sapo” is found in Northern Mexico and the Southwestern United States. 

The toad’s primary defence system are glands which produce 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin- chemicals belonging to the family of hallucinogenic tryptamines. Taking this entheogen is a deeply spiritual experience. It helps to release DMT in the brain, through the pineal gland. 

The pineal gland produces DMT in small quantities during profound life experiences: intense meditation, mindful states, deep healing, lucid dreaming, natural childbirth (in both mother and child), near-death experiences and during death itself. The liberation of these chemicals produces a cosmic feeling of Oneness.

By smoking this Ancestral Medicine, the body increases production of serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, melatonin and enzymes, all of which support the healing of self. Bufo helps people navigate through challenges in day-to-day life. It promotes the release of negativity and addictive patterns. It decalcifies the pineal gland, activates the chakras and empowers a person to create positive change in their life. It promotes self-acceptance and helps in overcoming fear. It increases your intuition and reminds you of your true essence. 

The medicine is a wonderful tool for those who feel stuck, depressed, anxious, lost or are experiencing some form of existential crisis. It can assist in exposing wounds and traumas that need attention as well as raising your frequency and giving you agency in your healing. Bufo Alvarius is effective in unlocking codes of Unconditional Love, compassion and the understanding of Universal Truths.

Bufo In Action

The medicine’s effects last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Each journey is unique. Some people leave the body and are reborn. Others enter a deep, meditative state connecting with their inner wisdom. Some experience bright colours, moving environments, geometric patterns or profound messages. You may experience total fusion with God, feel incredibly supported and held or observe a deep acceptance of all that is. Bufo is a manifestation of the principle of Oneness. You begin to see everyone and everything as connected. 

There can also be great resistance. You may depart this dimension or experience an ego death. You may confront deep-seated fear, feel completely out of control or find yourself unwilling to surrender fully to what the medicine is trying to show you. Everything experienced will bring you closer to understanding reality and what lies beyond. 

The medicine is extremely powerful and often leaves users immobile and even unresponsive. You are in safe hands. I help you move through the challenging moments to expose the truth of who you really are. Bufo can cause intense emotional reactions, euphoria, convulsions, excessive salivation and even vomiting. 

Some people experience “reactivations” which can occur during sleep, but may also pop at any point in the day. These reactivations are usually flashbacks of the sensations felt during a ceremony. They often pass rather quickly, but cases have been reported of people experiencing reactivations for months after a session. Plant medicines, such as marijuana, can spark a reactivation. The medicine will work gradually for several days after the ceremony. 

Bufo is a beautiful tool for dealing with life’s difficulties. It helps identify your mental, emotional and spiritual blocks and removes them. It supports mental clarity and ignites our Infinite Potential. Some people may require a second dose to fully surrender into this profound experience.
