• Have had heart surgery or suffer from any serious heart conditions

• Have severely low blood pressure, especially if you are taking medication for it

• Have a history of multiple blood clots

Contraindications

The following conditions exclude individuals from safely using Kambo:

• Serious heart problems

• Taking medication for low blood pressure

• History of stroke or brain hemorrhage

• History of aneurysms or blood clots

• Lack the mental capacity to make an informed decision about using Kambo

• Serious mental health conditions (excluding depression, PTSD, and anxiety)

• Taking immune-suppressants for organ transplants

• Addison’s disease

• Severe epilepsy

• Currently recovering from a major surgery

• Pregnant or potentially pregnant

• Breastfeeding a child under 6 months old (breastfeeding is fine after 6 months, with a 4-6 hour break from nursing after treatment)

If any of the above conditions apply to you, you cannot safely use Kambo. For your own safety, it is crucial to disclose any relevant health information. Please do not withhold any details about your health.

If you have other serious health conditions or are on any medication, please let me know so we can discuss your situation before proceeding with the treatment.

If you are menstruating at the time of your treatment, Kambo may cause your flow to increase for 24-36 hours due to its powerful vasodilators. If you are asthmatic, please ensure that you bring your inhaler with you. Similarly, if you carry an EpiPen for any health reasons, please bring it along and inform me. I request that you carry these items as a precaution to ensure safety during the ceremony.

If you are diabetic, it is essential to discuss your treatment plan in advance. You must also inform me if you have previously had or are currently experiencing a mental health condition, regardless of whether you are on medication. The only exception is mild depression or anxiety. In most cases, it is safe to continue your usual medication, but we must discuss this beforehand.

Fasting Requirements

Before your treatment, it is crucial to fast for 12 hours. This means no coffee or black tea. Water and herbal teas are fine. It’s also important to set intentions before the ceremony—focus on what you want to release from your life, anything that no longer serves you, and the positive changes you wish to invite into your life.

Alcohol and Drugs

Please refrain from consuming alcohol or recreational drugs 24 hours before and after your treatment.

Ideal Meal Before Treatment

It is best to have a healthy, light, and nutritious meal as your last meal before the treatment. For example, brown rice with vegetables, or a large fruit salad. Avoid heavy or greasy meals like pizza, burgers, and fries. Please use your discretion when planning your meal.

Kambo Safety

Respect and responsibility are essential when working with Kambo

Please be 100% transparent and discuss in detail your intention for your interest in kambo when contacting me to assess if this type of cleanse is appropriate for you.

For most people it is perfectly safe but if you meet any of the below criteria Kambo is not for you at this time.
