Retrospectively reported acute subjective effects of Kambô. Acute effects (n = 22) were assessed with standardized psychometric tools that allow comparisons to consciousness alterations induced by different methods as e.g. found on the Altered States Database¹⁷. The scores of the ASC, MEQ and CEQ are designed to assess differences from zero, while the PCI items are anchored with two opposing statements (See “Methods”) to the end of the scale [0: minimum; 6: maximum], thereby not assessing differences from zero but characterizing the overall pattern of experience. In comparison to Table 2, the box plots provided here show the data distribution.
