Kambo Ceremony

Preparing for Your Kambo Session & Aftercare

We will work with you at your session to determine how many “dots” to administer.

Please take preparing for your kambo session as seriously as we take your safety.  We strictly adhere to these guidelines.  When you arrive at your session, we will ask you if you complied with these preparation steps.  If you did not, we will not administer kambo to you and no refund will be given.

1-Month or More Prior

• No 5-MeO-DMT (bufo)

• No iboga

• No chemotherapy or radiation treatments 6 weeks prior

1-Week Prior

• No recreational drug use or use of DMT (dimethyltryptamine), LSD (lysergic acid), ketamine, etc.

• No alcohol use

• No water or dry fasting, colonics, enemas, liver flushes or any water-based detox, sweat lodges or saunas

3-Days Prior

• Set your intentions.

• Why do you feel called to kambo?

• What are your intentions, be it physical, emotional, spiritual or energetic?

• What do you wish to release?

• Avoid 5HTP, dieting pills, and melatonin supplements.

• Eat a clean, vegan diet if possible eliminating processed foods, alcohol, caffeine, high fat/sugar/spicy/salty foods, and meats.

• Do not eliminate salt completely.  Small amounts are needed for your safety.

Same Day, Prior to Session

• Do not eat food for 8-10 hours prior to your session.

• Avoid all supplements.

• Avoid taking any over-the-counter or prescription medications, unless absolutely necessary (this must be discussed with Sacred Pillars prior to your session). Not only can they affect your safety, they will likely be purged out and wasted.  You can resume your regular medication regime after the session.

• Do not consume cannabis.

• The only acceptable substance to ingest prior to your session is normal amounts of water.

• DO NOT DRINK EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF WATER prior to arriving to your session.

• Before administering kambo, you will be asked to drink approximately 2 liters of water (available onsite) to allow for easier purging and cleansing. Drinking too much water more than 15 minutes before the application of the kambo can dilute electrolyte concentrations in the body and cause a serious condition called hyponatremia. Hydrate normally prior to your session, but don’t over drink.

• Remove jewelry for the session.

• If menstruating, kambo may cause increased blood flow for up to 72 hours.

Aftercare

• A light meal/snacks will be provided after your session.

• Listen to your body and what it needs.  Rest. Relax. Sleep.

• Rehydrate.

• Continue eating a clean diet for at least 24 hours, without alcohol or caffeine.

• Do not fast or detox for at least 7 days.

• Use natural products such as aloe vera, calendula or coconut oil to aid in healing the administration sites and minimize scarring.

What to Bring

• A refillable, covered water bottle for drinking water.

• Wear comfortable clothing that allows for access to the area of treatment (typically the upper arm or lower leg). A change of clothes is recommended. Accidents do happen and it’s nice to have some clean clothes to change into.

• Blanket and pillow.

• A hair tie to tie back long hair.
