Contraindications & Safety

Kambo may be right for you if you’re ready and willing to make the commitment to heal and empower yourself. Kambo is an extremely potent cleanse for the mind, body, and spirit. It is a revealer and alchemist - it shows us what holds us back and helps us to change our limiting beliefs and behaviours into personal assets.

This is warrior medicine, and it requires us to be warriors in receiving it by being very active participants in our own healing. 

Kambo will clear the way and point us in the right direction; it’s up to us to keep walking the path with courage in our hearts. It’s an amazing tool, but we are the ones that create the lasting impact.

Kambo is a Very safe substance

It is very important to follow protocol and heed contraindications. The amount of water consumed pre and post-Kambo is crucial to measure, as over-consumption can lead to harm. As the medicine gains popularity, more people are serving Kambo, so it is important to work with a practitioner who has been properly Kambo trained, has extensive personal experience with the medicine, and holds safety as a top priority.

In the jungle, it is given to children as young as 2 years old.
