Kambo Ceremony

Kambo promotes the understanding of our feelings; by bringing up that which we have  suppressed and long since forgotten. By removing these impurities, the remnants of  unprocessed and unhealthy feelings from the past, we reveal layer by layer our authentic-self.  Kambo clears the path ahead, promoting a deeper understanding of ourselves and everything  around us. The clearer we are, the more resonant we become and the more we synchronize with  ‘what is’. In this ‘enlightened’ state both happiness and joy come easily because we are present  and in the moment. 

Kambo is a frog secretion that is made up of peptides. 11 peptides that are placed on the skin and received in the body and mind to restructure the cells; even the most cutting edge bio hackers are starting to use peptides for various reasons

Peptides are natural occurring biological molecules that contain two or more amino acids. 

Peptides communicate to the cells of the body and specifically tell them what to do.

The health benefits of peptides are ah-mazing they can:

Improve sleep, Boost the immune system, Stop hair loss 

Improve libido, Improve hormone balance Reduce inflammation & chronic pain  

Kambo is the secretion of the waxy tree fog of the amazon. It is not hallucinogenic. It is called the vaccine of the forest and hunter's magic. Hunters use it in the jungle before they go out because not only does it make them feel stronger than ever, they say it even takes away your smell for a day!

The process of applying Kambo as a medicine is simple. The skin is opened, 1.5 liters of water  is drunk, the kambo is applied, the Kambo is felt, it sort of feels like you get the flu, you purge, the medicine is wiped off and you take a nap. 

     The results are felt for several days after and the cells are restructured for lasting results and   

     There are no guaranteed results and Kambo does not claim to cure anything.

In Preparation for Our Ceremony: 

1. . Please begin Fasting 8 to 10hrs before scheduled Ceremony. Ie; if Ceremony is  scheduled for 10AM, then please allow your meal or dinner from prior evening be the  last thing you have consumed. If you have an Afternoon appointment or Session. You  may consume a Fruit (only) smoothie in the morning.                          
2. You may drink water or non-caffeinated tea up to 3 hours before Ceremony time. Please  DO NOT consume fluids less than 3 HOURS before Ceremony start time.  
3. We recommend eating ‘clean’ for 1 to 3 days prior to treatment and 1 to 3 days  following treatment, Eating “clean’ is defined as preferably plant based diet, organic  and raw (if possible). If you are someone who feels they are a carnivore, it might be  best to limit quantity per meal. PLEASE NOTE; these are ‘recommendations’ from  experience, NOT REQUIREMENTS.  
4. Knowing KAMBO is referenced as a ‘cleanse’, please DO NOT do any self administered water detox, colonic, enemas etc for at least 5 DAYS BEFORE OR AFTER scheduled Ceremony. This includes HOT YOGA or strenuous Physical activity  or exertion, where there is an extreme amount of water release or sweating..

8. We suggest to refrain from any sexual activity, individually or with a partner 3 days  prior and 3 days after the KAMBO work.  
9. . The Evening before and the day of, we suggest finding a meditative state and  receive clarity on the intention you are bringing to the work.

What to Expect in the Ceremonial Process: 

I will review and cover the ‘flow’ of the Ceremony the day of.  

We will begin with introductions and opening Ceremonial traditions. You will have an opportunity  to share your intention with the group at this time.   We will then prepare and apply the gates for where the medicine will be placed. At this time, there  will be a moment for any one on one conversation you feel 

Following this, I will prepare the Kambo medicine for application and each participant will have 15  minutes to drink 1.5 -2 liters of water. Once the water is fully consumed, we will apply the medicine. 

**If you are a NEWCOMER and THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME or if it has been more than 2 years  since you experienced Kambo, then we will apply a TEST POINT (1) to view the body’s response  to the Kambo. We will monitor the body’s response for 5 to 10 minutes then apply the remainder of  the Kambo.  

Here is a list of potential responses from the body during treatment…. 

▪ Increased heart rate 

▪ Increased blood pressure for several minutes 

▪ Pounding sensation in the heart and head 

▪ Flushed skin, sweating, minor swelling in the extremities and face 

▪ Shaking, tingling, buzzing or vibrating sensations 

▪ Nausea and stomach discomfort 

▪ Fainting, low blood pressure 

▪ Purging (vomiting) and the urge to defecate 

    Please know, these responses are normal and common for people to experience. 

    If for any  reason  there is a concern outside of these common responses, 

    we will simply wipe off the Kambo and the  body will reset itself within 15 to 30 seconds. 

In the full treatment, you will have the Kambo on the body for 20 to 40 minutes until you feel you  have completed your process. At that point, we will remove the Kambo and you will go into a rest  period. Please be conscious of others and their process for everyone will be beginning and ending at  different times and moments. When rest is completed, we will dress your gates and there will be warm tea and snacks t0 enjoy. At this time we will have a sharing circle and close the Ceremony.

Aftercare:  

“KAMBO likes Food”…Some people find it helpful to eat healthy or ‘clean’ following the days  after KAMBO to keep the effect longer in your body and to continue with the detox process. Try to  avoid too spicy or greasy food as well as too much sugar. Avoid alcohol and Santa Maria aka  (Cannabis, Marijuana) for at least 24 hrs.  

For Gates or ‘burns’; please do not use any soap on the marks for at least 1 to 2 days and keep them  as dry as possible. No oils, ointments or neosporin. Dragon’s Blood which we will apply upon  completion of Ceremony, will help with scarring and prevent them from becoming infected.  Including, increasing the healing time up to 10x faster. Showering with water is fine, but please do  not use the sauna or spa, sweat lodge or Hot yoga the same day. Wait 3 to 5 days before and after  (depending on intensity). It’s important your electrolytes return to balance or homeostasis. Also, do  not suntan immediately following KAMBO Treatment.  

Please allow your experience to be without expectations, only Intentions. Everyone will  have a very unique individual experience tailor made for their personal needs in that moment.  You may not want to have scheduled activities after the ceremony, you may want ot rest. You also may experience energy and want to hit the gym  

KAMBO works differently for each individual and is different each time. 

Please do not hesitate to  ask any questions or if anything is unclear.  

It is “recommended” to take Kambo 3 times, that could be in a moon cycle or as close together as possible, everyone's relationship is different.
