Preparing for the Kambo Experience
We are so excited to see that you've booked a Kambo session with us and we are honored to get to work with you!
This page has a lot of information and is quite long. Please read it thoroughly.
WHAT TO BRING:
Wear - comfortable loose layers (in Kambo sometimes you get hot other times cold)
Bring - Blanket, Pillow
Bring - 1.5 liters of room temperature water and electrolytes - Please no cold water
Bring - Snack for post session - you may get hungry on the drive home
PREPARING FOR KAMBO:
INTENTIONS:
“Intentions are like magnets. The more we declare them, believe in them and act in ways to manifest them, the more powerful and real they become.” - Unknown
Review the “why” of your intention. It’s a way to empower you; to individualize your experience. It’s important to set an intention that really fits you and what you might be experiencing in your life. Setting an intention is also an anchor for your session with Kambo giving you something to lean on when you’re just wanting it to be over.
An easy formula for intention setting can consist of one of the following verbal requests as you meditate before your Kambo session:
Help Me
Teach Me
Show Me
HYDRATION
It’s important for you to check in with your hydration before and after Kambo.
Please make sure you get electrolytes the day before, the night before, and the morning before you come in a tall glass of water.
Electrolytes we like:
Redmond Salt - Re-Lyte
Lyte Show - sugar free
LMNT
For morning sessions: It is okay to have up to 2 full glasses of water with electrolytes when you wake up, please have that in your belly 2 hours before your session and then no water after that.
For afternoon sessions: Stay hydrated throughout the day but please slow your water intake 2 hours before your session
We will guide you in drinking water for Kambo, please bring 1.5 liters and additional electrolytes. Depending on how we progress we may end up working with all of the water. If we need more I have clean pure filtered water.
DIET:
In the days leading up to Kambo eat wholesome clean foods. Don’t starve yourself, eat plenty - just eat clean.
No greasy foods or soda, reduce caffeine intake.
Your first Kambo session is a physical check and wake up call to your system. As we progress deeper into Kambo this process of staying hydrated and understanding your body's cues will become more intuitive
To get the most from your sessions if you are on any medications that you can discontinue using for a few days prior to your session without any health or safety risks please do so. Also please no medications the morning of your session unless it is unsafe for you to not take them. You’re welcome to take them after your Kambo sessions if needed.
Please no alcohol, cannabis, or other plant medicines (mushrooms, peyote, etc.) for 48 hours prior to your session and no other chemical drug use (ex. MDMA, Flower medicine, etc.) for 5 days prior to your Kambo Session.
THE FAST:
Your fasting period begins 12 hours before your session. For example: if your session is at 10am, your fasting period begins at 10pm the night before. Please do not eat anything in the morning and come fasted from food. If you have a session scheduled after 1pm it’s ok to have a smoothie in the morning but no food after that.
Fasting offers your body a period of rest, after your body has had time to rest from digesting kambo will wake your rested body up and help restart your system.
Making your fast part of the ceremony is a beautiful way to start seeing shifts from the kambo experience before you arrive. Try setting an intention for your fast, notice the cues you get from your body outside of the feelings of hunger, our bodies have so much to teach if we listen.
GETTING MORE FROM KAMBO:
We have found that using a few high quality supplements can help prepare your body to receive kambo and detox more readily during the process. Although this is by no means required we offer it as an option. Cellcore offers gentle herbal supplements to help the body’s drainage and detox pathways move more freely. If you choose to add this to your kambo process we would encourage you to begin your detox a week prior to your first kambo session. I am happy to talk to you further about this, if you have additional questions please reach out.

THE KAMBO EXPERIENCE:
The space we work to create is one where you feel safe and relaxed so that you can allow yourself to be fully present to the kambo experience without concern for your wellbeing. We will be creating an intentional space using sound and music, This may also include, rattling, drumming, misting and smudging with sage and palo santo. If you are allergic or sensitive to smells please let us know.
All that you will be asked to do is sit with your breath.
Our interaction during the Kambo experience may include giving you help walking to the bathroom, putting a cool towel on your neck or misting you with water to help you stay grounded in the experience.
The most important thing for you to know is that we are here to honor the needs of your body so that it feels safe to cleanse and relax.
DRESS:
Kambo affects us differently each time we sit with it. Please dress in loose comfortable clothes, wearing layers that are easy to remove if you get too hot.
Men: please bring or wear a sleeveless shirt to access your shoulder.
AFTER KAMBO:
Our hope is that your sessions are at a time when you don’t have to rush away to something important. We welcome you to take time to rest and drink in the Kambo ‘afterglow’. Really taking time to rest is important. This is a time to connect with yourself and celebrate the accomplishment of having sat with Kambo. In the days that follow, take time with yourself, take baths, get out in nature, get to bed early. You may find continued guidance comes from these practices.
KAMBO WOUNDS:
Receiving Kambo requires burning small spots on your skin. After your Kambo session we will apply a natural antiseptic called dragon’s blood to help with healing. To keep these spots from becoming infected please keep the area free from lotions, ointments and sunscreen until the scabs fall off. Do not submerge the wounds in water until a few days have passed (showering is fine). If they itch, slap them rather than scratching.
HEALTH CHANGES:
If anything having to do with your health has changed since filling out your intake form please make us aware.
