During the trance dance, perspiration is taken from the shaman's body and used as medicine
In the San culture, which is an indigenous people of Botswana, Namibia, and Angola, healers use a variety of techniques, such as oral remedies made of plant and animal material, making cuts on the body and rubbing in 'potent' substances, inhaling smoke from smouldering organic matter like certain twigs or animal dung, and wearing animal parts or "jewellery" that "makes them strong." One of the most recognisably San cultural elements is the trance dance.
The San do "trance dances" or "healing dances," which are dances performed while they are in an altered state of consciousness. A whole night is spent in trance dancing rituals. Drums are sometimes used to communicate with animal and ancestor spirits, and people will occasionally tie offerings to the trees for the benefit of the spirits of various animals.
