Preperations

  1. First step is to make sure there are no Contraindications. Be sure you accurately and honestly report any diagnosed medical conditions. This is for your safety. All information is confidential. Fill out the Waiver.

  2. Make sure to report any medications or herbal supplements you may be on. Do not take any supplements or medications unless medically necessary the day of the ceremony. Some herbs or medicines may need to be avoided for a couple of days prior to treatment. Some medications/supplements are contraindicated and may have a risk for interactions with the Kambo.

  3. Days prior keep a clean wholesome diet to reduce any toxic burden on the body. Avoid alcohol 24-48 hrs. Drink plenty of water so that your tissues are hydrated. Adding electrolytes and liquid minerals to your water will help prepare your body. There is no traditional “Dieta” with Kambo and it is not crucial to follow a strict diet before or after the session. DO NOT DRINK EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF WATER prior to arriving to your session. DO NOT ABSTAIN FROM SALT IN THE DAYS BEFORE YOUR SESSION.

  4. One must fast at least 7 hours before the Kambo ceremony: 10 hours if you have eaten protein in your last meal. If your ceremony is in the morning you may have sips of 1 cup of water no more and no food before . Abstain from any supplements or medications. You can resume medications after session.
    If ceremony is in the evening, only eat a light breakfast. Water, coconut water, herbal tea w/ honey, electrolytes, and salt added to water are okay.

  5. Meditating with the breath is a great preparation for a Kambo ceremony. Breathe and invite the spirit of the medicine into you, exhale and surrender your ego, your weight, your toxicity. Breathe in and soften to the medicine, breathe out and let go.
