Kambo Preparation
Before your Kambo treatment, it is important to follow a few guidelines to ensure a safe and effective experience. It is recommended to fast for at least 6 hours prior to the session, although sipping water and having a herbal tea with a teaspoon of honey is permitted up to 2 hours before.
Avoid taking supplements or medications on the morning of the session, but you can take them afterward. It is advisable not to consume excessive amounts of liquid before Kambo and to abstain from alcohol or recreational drugs for 48 hours prior to the session. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid foods that are heavy on the liver, such as saturated fats, fried foods, and sugary treats, for 24-48 hours before and after the treatment.
Wear loose and comfortable clothing, and for women, a crop top or bikini top under a shirt is suggested for respectful and unobstructed access to the back. Bringing a change of clothes and underwear is also advised.

The Purge
Following the application of Kambo, the effects are immediate and can be intense and uncomfortable, although they typically last no more than 30-40 minutes.
Initial sensations may include a rapid increase in heart rate, followed by nausea, sweating, shivering, shaking, swelling, cramping, dizziness, vomiting, and exhaustion. Blood pressure may rise or fall dramatically.
Nausea and vomiting are common experiences during the Kambo session, accompanied by sensations such as tingling, burning, stomach discomfort, dry mouth, and swelling of the face, lips, and throat.
These effects will pass, and the first 10-15 minutes are often the most challenging. Throughout the process, I will be present, offering support and guidance. Sage and extra water may be provided to assist with the purging, and if necessary, additional remedies like Rapé or Sananga may be offered.

After the Purge
Everyone reacts to Kambo differently, from the purging process to the after effects. Some experience the desirable after-effects instantly and for some it takes time to materialize. Once you have rested and integrated often a new-founds sense of self emerges; clarity and mental alertness, vibrance and stamina, elevated mood and energy.
In the coming days after a treatment, it's common for people to report feeling lighter and clear of their emotional baggage, a heightened awareness or self, a resiliency to stress, and clarity to their life path, obstacles and challenges are overcome.
During a Kambo session, deep suppressed emotions from the past may be brought to the surface to be released. In this case some people report experience an emotional vulnerability and tenderness as they continue to release these emotions and memories. It is important to have a support network of loved once in place for integrating your Kambo experience.
Traditionally Kambo is done in multiple session in a row-3 sessions. Some people choose to do them back-to-back while others choose to do it in a 28-day period (a moon cycle). This allows the Kambo to work accumulatively, going deeper within the body (physically and emotionally) for profound shifts to take place.
Sex & Menstruation
Please refrain from intensive sexual contact 7 days before and after the treatment.
It is especially important to avoid orgasm and ejaculation.
The Kambo treatment may cause hormonal contraceptives, such as the pill, to stop. If you want to avoid pregnancy, use a condom to be safe.
Especially for women:
In principle, Kambo treatment is safe at any time of your cycle. Kambo can have a very positive effect on menstrual cramps. So it can be beneficial to receive Kambo medicine during the PMS period. Through treatment, symptoms of PMS, pain or other issues related to your uterus may improve or resolve. For successful and sustainable work with frog medicine it is important that you stand in your strength. If you are very weak during your period, it makes sense to postpone the treatment.
Pregnancy Exclusion/ Planned Pregnancy:
After personal feedback and consultation. Are you about to get pregnant?
Surely, the frog can give you an answer or a physical cleansing in this area as well.
However, be sure about it, that you are not pregnant right now.
Kambo medicine is incredibly powerful and stimulates our bodies, so please be sure to rule out pregnancy, as this could lead to abortion in the worst case scenario.
Breastfeeding:
It is generally not recommended to receive Kambo medicine when you are
breastfeeding. There are exceptions, please contact me in that case.
We will discuss this individually.
