I do recommend eating clean, no processed or fried foods, 3 days before and after. Cristina’s journey with Kambo began when she followed her curiosity to Peru to work more deeply with ayahuasca. Once in Iquitos, Cristina met Peter Gorman, author of Sapo in My Soul, who was the first to tell her about Kambo medicine. Peter introduced Cristina to his guide and good friend, Juan, who is a friend of the Matsés indians and able to take her to learn directly from the masters of Kambo medicine. I reached out to the Rebecca as I had done Kambo before in Peru in 2016 and was looking for a local practitioner. Although I was at first nervous about doing this again, Rebecca made me feel comfortable and confident in her abilities plus as a bonus she’s also a Nurse!. She was super warm, friendly and comforting during the entire process and completely present to me that day.

Kambo is an intense experience and, according to Todd, “not for everyone.” But, it also has incredible biohacking benefits that might make the extremeKambo ceremony experience well worth it. “It’s 15 to 25 minutes of extreme discomfort for long term benefits,” Todd adds. The popularity of alternative medicine has increased greatly over recent years and continues to do so. Kambo is a traditional healing practice within many cultures, but it is still relatively new to Western societies. Many people report feeling a burning sensation throughout their bodies.

Health risks of Kambo cleanse

There are people who’ve taken Kambo with almost none of the purgative effects, with nausea and vomiting being the most frequently experienced. The shaman will burn tiny holes into the top layer of your skin using a vine or sometimes an incense stick, then gently scrape the area before applying the Kambo dots. Sometimes referred to as gates, the burns help the Kambo enter the bloodstream faster. Modern practitioners often administer it on chakras, which are energy points throughout the body. Next, a practitioner will use a burning stick to create a number of small burns on the skin, resulting in blisters. The blistered skin is then scraped off, and the kambo is applied to the wounds.

When the symptoms begin to decrease, a shaman may encourage the person to rehydrate by drinking water. Though there are plenty of first-hand accounts from people who have taken part in the cleanse, none of the potential benefits described above are scientifically proven. Dr. Kuhn points to one woman who had nausea and vomiting for a prolonged timeframe after a Kambo cleanse and went to an emergency department.

Just as soon as that inner-warmth had begun it was replaced with gut-wrenching nausea. The sudden recoil and paralysing stomach-sink drowned my senses like a lucid dream’s slow-motion skyscraper freefall. The dreaded moment came and the shaman announced the start of the ceremony. In that instant, I wholeheartedly committed to what was going to happen and knew there was no going back.

An alternative way to approach the risk of hyponatremia is to provide electrolytes to balance sodium levels. Some traditional facilitators will give participants a salted root vegetable drink called Caiçuma, greatly reducing the risk of hyponatremia. My friend wanted to take kambo because she heard it could reduce her frequent migraines. She had the number of a practitioner, had researched the medicine, and was ready to try it. Just one thing was giving her pause; she was a recovering bulimic. She hadn’t binged and purged in years, but like addiction, eating disorders stay with you for your entire life.

Because You’re Tired of Feeling Tired

At around the 20 min mark, I felt the familiar pulling sensation in my stomach so I put my head over the bucket to purge but I was only able to manage some dry heaving. Read more about Kuripe here. It suddenly felt like the most natural thing in the world to just reach for the water and start to drink. I drank about three-quarters of a litre and then immediately purged bright green bile; and in that timeless moment, the Planet Kambo Method was born. At a very basic level, your facilitator must ask about your medical history, and be aware of any health conditions that could make kambo especially dangerous for you.

Some people, for instance, can only get a liter and a half down, he says, and that’s okay. “I do not allow my clients to drink additional water till after they have purged,” he explains—in order to avoid hyponatremia, the condition that killed Begley. The water works as a pump to funnel out the toxins that are being pushed into the stomach from the gallbladder, liver, kidneys and pancreas.

Like many Jungle ‘medicines’ and experiences, Kambo is extremely ‘intelligent’ and responds well to those who care for themselves. If you are cleared to work with Kambo Care, Kambo preparation, Kambo diet and Kambo after-care is mandatory to get the most out of the experience.
