Kambo holds incredible potential to support well-being
personal responsibility, preperation and integration is essential
Like many Jungle 'medicines' and experiences, Kambo is extremely 'intelligent', works in nuanced ways specific to the individual and responds well to those who care for themselves surrounding ceremony. Kambo prep, Kambo diet and Kambo after-care is important to get the most out of the experience.
We offer virtual preparation and integration work to those that have or will experience medicine elsewhere and are looking for additional support and guidance.
- Marisa, Kambo Care
Treat yourself well before and after your ceremonies and Kambo may honor your offering with continued blessings!
KAMBO PREPARATION
THE WEEKS LEADING UP TO CEREMONY:
Make sure you are clear on why you want to work with The Frog. Intention is everything. Refine yours.
Hydrate! 60% of the people that reach out to me for work are chronically dehydrated and do not drink enough water a day! Please drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day, depending on your weight.
An adequately hydrated system is mandatory in working with Kambo Care. Do not over-hydrate either.
Be conscious of your consumption (media, certain foods, habits, etc.) We get into this more.
Stop cleansing! Please pause cleansing herbs, colonics and other cleansing protocols until a few weeks after Kambo
Clients (please review Guide and client portal for more up to date preparation)
3 - 7 DAYS BEFORE CEREMONY DO NOT CONSUME:
Alcohol - allow your liver to chill. It’s a precious organ that is about to get worked bigtime with The Frog, so treat it nice and pause on the Spirits, thanks! Plus, the less Spirits in your field the better.
“Street” drugs, heroin, cocaine, etc - please discuss your drug use with Kambo Care
Bufo + DMT, let’s discuss
All supplements - gives your digestive system a rest before Kambo
Herbal medicines - prevents potential interactions
Sleeping aids
Meat – especially pork and eggs
Dairy
Artificial sweeteners
Packaged "food" with preservatives or chemicals
Junk “food” + fried “food”
Gluten and GMO wheats - difficult to digest
Citrus: lemon, orange or grapefruits (or juices)
Carbonated beverages
Sexual fasting - helpful to preserve Qi but not mandatory (VERY HELPFUL on an energetic front)
Be conscious with your consumption - foods, energies, media, people, etc.
DAY OF CEREMONY:
FASTING IS ESSENTIAL AND MANDATORY:
Do not eat for 8-10 hours prior to your session
Water and herbal tea is okay leading up to session.
If you must have caffeine, no caffeine 6 hours prior.
If you have an afternoon session, you can have a light breakfast, just make sure it is at least 8 hours before your session time.
AVOID:
food
beverages with chemicals and sugars
cigarettes
drugs
social media and email
unnecessary interactions
energetic drains
WATER PROTOCOL:
To be determined and communicated based on logistics and the offering.
In order for Kambo to work appropriately, there must be liquid in the digestive system to aid purge.
Sometimes Kambo Care works with water, other times we serve a drink that the Matsés use.
We will discuss logistics.
Please do not drink distilled water (leeches minerals from the system) or more than the suggested amount of water day of session.
BE ON POINT WITH YOUR HYDRATION NEEDS!!!
EXCESSIVE WATER IS VERY DANGEROUS
LACK OF PROPER HYDRATION/QUANTITY COULD PRESENT ISSUES
PROPER KAMBO HYDRATION IS AN ART FORM AND VARIES PERSON TO PERSON
Need additional support to prepare or integrate an upcoming ceremony or retreat?

KAMBO INTEGRATION
POST TREATMENT CARE + INTEGRATION
Do not drive if you feel weak or light headed.
Do not operate heavy machinery, move furniture or engage in physically stressful situations within 24 hours of session.
Re-mineralize with mineral water and or coconut water to restore vital nutrients and electrolytes.
Hydrate! Drink 8-10+ glasses of water a day.
Refrain from difficult to digest and or energetically dense foods for at least 72 hours (OR MORE!) such as dairy and meat.
Do not drink alcohol or do drugs for at least 3 days after your session. Many report never wanting to drink again after Kambo.
Prolong dieta for as long as you can.
Tune in. Take note of vibrational shifts.
Integrate grounding techniques such as earthing.
Be conscious with your consumption of certain foods, energies, media, people etc.
Eat organic non-processed whole foods when possible.
Be intentional and disciplined with your technology use.
Develop patience with yourself and the journey.
Give yourself some space to process your Kambo work.
Take time for you, nature and community.
Get good rest and be grateful for your many blessings.
Stay out of direct sun for 24 hours.
POST TREATMENT KAMBO MARKS
After Kambo is removed from the top layer of skin, the entry points are closed with a Peruvian anti-bacterial/fungal tree sap (Dragon's Blood). This helps the entry points heal faster and acts as a "liquid bandage", while offering a secure antibacterial barrier. DO NOT cover points with bandage. DO NOT pick at the points or try to remove/clean off the Dragon's Blood.
Two days after treatment, ontop of the Dragon’s Blood, Calendula or Coconut oil can be used to aid healing process and limit scaring. Please stay away from chemical laden "healing" products such as Neosporin.
The entry points will heal and fade with time but depending on your skin color and type you may always have small visible scars. Most people see their Kambo scars as a badge of honor. Kambo Care uses a special blazing technique on clients that will limit scarring.
TO NOTE:
Post session, some experience heightened energy, while others may feel a bit tired or achy for a bit. Those that feel icky usually have a higher toxin load than others, so it's important to listen to your body and address/honor what is needed. Be present with your experience and you’ll witness all the nuanced ways the frog works.
The Frog can be an incredible catalyst to bring more balance, wellness and goodness into your life - are you ready to do the work to make it so?
