WHat is Kambo?
Full disclosure, Kambo is legal in the US, as well as all other countries. It is important to note that Kambo is not hallucinogenic. Additionally, we are not doctors. We neither give medical advice, make diagnoses, cure any disease, nor treat any physical or mental disorders.
Kambo can help in resetting your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual energy.

Kambo works on the mind, body, and spirit at all levels, and it has potent anti-inflammatory and pain reducing properties, one compound in the secretion is 40x’s stronger than morphine. It is known as one of the strongest natural antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antibiotic, and anesthetic properties found naturally in the world.
Is Kambo a Toxin?
There are many peptides that have been identified in Kambo. None of them have been identified as toxic to the mammalian cells. However, they are potently toxic to bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses, making Kambo a great extensive antibiotic. There is nonknown toxicity to the liver, kidneys, or brain.

What Does a Session Look Like?
Kambo sessions are between 2-4 hours, however, the intensity of Kambo is typically over within 20-40 minutes.
Once applied, Kambo enters the lymphatic system, where it begins to work quickly. You may feel a warm flush, increased heart rate, or sensations like dizziness, facial swelling, or tingling. These effects are temporary and part of the body’s response.
​
Shortly after, a purge may occur, as your body releases physical and emotional toxins. Setting a personal intention before the session is recommended to help guide your process.
​
While Kambo is not psychoactive, some people may experience brief shifts in perception or receive emotional or spiritual insights. Afterward, the points are cleaned and you will have time to rest. You may feel tired or energized, and most people notice the benefits more fully after a good night's sleep.
​
Lastly, no recording or photography is permitted during the ceremony. Your privacy is highly respected. We will not share your personal information or details about your session.

WHAT DO I DO POST-KAMBO CEREMONY?
-
STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you spend the rest of the day/evening relaxed to reflect and connect with the spirit of Kambo.
-
After a good night’s rest, you will usually start to feel the real benefits of Kambo.
-
BE KIND and LOVE yourself. Emotions from the present or past may surface. They will need to be worked through in order to be released.
-
BE PATIENT with yourself and your journey.
-
DO NOT operate heavy machinery, move furniture, or engage in any physically stressful situations within 24 hours of session.
-
HAVE A SUPPORTIVE TEAM. Have friends, loved ones, coaches, and counselors support, hear, and affirm you in your integration.
-
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. SURROUND yourself with POSITIVITY and HIGH VIBRATIONAL ENERGY. Surround yourself in nature, journal, take walks, community, meditate, etc.
-
BE CONSCIOUS with your consumption of media, energies, people, etc.
-
PRIORITIZE YOUR HEALTH. Eat as clean as possible. Do not consume fried, greasy, or processed food, and limit your salt and sugar intake.
-
DO NOT plan anything for at least a few hours after the treatment, as you might feel exhausted and still integrating–give yourself time to rest afterwards.
WHAT IS THE POST-TREATMENT CARE?
-
After Kambo is removed, the gates will be closed using Dragon’s Blood, a medicinal antibacterial/fungal tree sap from the Upper Amazon. It is applied to the gates to heal faster, prevent any bacteria or infection, and close the gates by forming a protective “liquid bandage” when dried.
-
It is imperative you DO NOT cover points with bandages, pick at the points, or try to remove/clean off the Dragon’s Blood.
-
Be mindful that Dragon’s Blood does stain clothes, so if you do get it on your clothes, soak it with cold water.
-
Days after treatment, on top of Dragon’s Blood, feel free to use calendula or coconut oil to aid the healing and scarring process. Avoid chemical laden products.
-
Points will heal and fade in time. Depending on your skin color and the type of skin you have, there may be small visible scars. Many people see their scars as a badge of honor.
