About 15 minutes before the medicine is applied, you will drink about 1-1.5 liters of water. Kambo is applied to the skin generally on the shoulders, however, working with the energy lines in the body, such as Chinese medicine, it can open up other energetic blockages. We work all around the body, depending on the person. A small stick is used to burn the first layer of skin with a number of points, completely dependent on the person. Usually for a first treatment, one should expect to receive 3-5 points. However, some require less and some more. Generally the marks go away in about 1-6 months, depending on how healthy the body is. We find later sessions healing quicker than previous ones because the body is running more optimally.

The effects are felt within 10-15 seconds with a slight temperature rise and energetic rush in the crown. Focus on your breath and breathe deeply and slowly. Try to analyze what sensations are happening. With the awareness of the heartbeat rising it will be time to relax, focus on the breath and begin to drink more water. Surrender to the process, allow yourself to find your breath, meditate and quiet the mind. Your heart rate will begin to rise for a couple of minutes and you will have a lot of sensation and some swelling (as it’s flushing the system out) in the throat and lymph nodes. You will feel a slight discomfort in your stomach while bile is ejected into your stomach, from the liver and gallbladder. Decades of toxins are collected, and soon the purging will begin helping to ease the discomfort. Part of the effects you feel are the Kambo and the other half are from the toxins your body is getting rid of. You manifest this discomfort every day, but don’t realize it. Kambo gives us the gift of opening the body, cleansing desensitization. Lots of anger and sadness come out during a kambo session. It is normal to cry or yell if you feel called.

The person will drink more water, relax, and breathe. 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. The more you drink and breathe the smoother it will be. The energetic pressure and temperature will soon reduce while the process is nearing resolution. The entire process will usually take approximately 30-45 minutes varying from each individual. About 10-15 minutes of that, can be intense while deep purging is happening. Energy pulses throughout the body and the hands with a sense of electricity circulating in each and every cell. Kambo gets easier the cleaner your body gets, and it happens quickly; usually in a few sessions.

Some cases require a longer session and the recovery can be longer. These are rare cases. Even people with serious illnesses, tend to recover quickly. I would say 95% of people are fine to drive home within 1-2 hours, they may feel a little “off” throughout the day, but the following day, they feel great. So, even people with severe health issues shouldn’t be weary. Rarely people experience headaches the following day. Drink a lot of electrolytes and stay hydrated
