tsentsak
:''Not to be confused with Tsantsa, the Shuar word for shrunken head〔Rubenstein 2007, pg. 362〕
Tsentsak are invisible pathogenic projectiles or magical darts utilized in indigenous and mestizo shamanic practices for the purposes of sorcery and healing throughout much the Amazon Basin. Anthropologists identify them as objects referenced in emic accounts that represent indigenous beliefs. ''Tsentak'' are not recognized in scientific medicine.
==Etymology==
The term ''tsentsak'' is derived from the Shuar language, which belongs to the Jivaroan language family. The Shuar are members of the Jivaroan peoples who reside in the Amazon rainforest of Peru and Ecuador. This term is also used interchangeably with ''virote'' (primarily by mestizo shamans), a Spanish term for crossbow bolt which was applied to the blow darts made by the Jivaroans from the spines of the ''Bactris'' and ''Astrocaryum'' palms.〔Beyer 2009, pg. 84〕
