FAQ’s

  • Kambo is a very safe substance. It’s important to work with a practitioner who holds safety as a top priority and understands the protocols to administer this medicine.

    There have been very few fatalities which were not linked to Kambo as the cause, but pre-existing heart conditions and Hyponatremia (drinking too much water).

    The protocols and consultation process are in place for a reason and following these has never lead anyone into danger.

    Kambo consists of hundreds of bioactive peptides which are recognized by the human body. This means, there is no ‘foreign substance threat’ signals created as a danger in our bodies.

  • There are no psychoactive properties in Kambo. It is a very grounding and physical experience. Some may have memories and insights or see electric bright colours come through but this is rare.

    Kambo is still a very spiritual experience and can open up the dreamscape in the nights leading up and following the medicine.

  • The purging can last between 10-30 minutes in waves. You can expect to feel hot & flustered with a rapid heartbeat. Each person’s body is unique and each session will feel a little different but generally the following is what people may experience:

    • Sweating

    • Nausea/Vomiting

    • Diarrhea

    • Tired/Heaviness

    • Burping

    • Crying

    • Shaking

    • Sneezing

    • Yawning

    • Numbness

    • Dizziness

  • After the medicine comes off, your body will need about 20-30 minutes max, and you’ll feel back to normal (or better!)

    Some may feel great right after the purge and some may want a little rest, that’s dependent on your body.

  • For a private ceremony, you can expect 2.5 hours. Each person will add about 20-30 minutes to the overall time.

    For groups of 5 or less, I will serve each person individually and then move on to the next. It’s important that each person has my full attention and feels held through their experience.

    Groups larger than 5 people will be served 2 people at a time and I will have a space holder with me to assist.

    The medicine portion of the ceremony lasts 20-30 minutes per person.
