The Kambo Process

What happens in a session?

Before the Ceremony - How the Session Begins

Before starting the Kambo work, we sit for a short conversation aimed at understanding you, your physical and emotional state, and the intention you are arriving with. This stage creates a sense of safety, eases concerns, and allows us to go over everything important so that the treatment is precise, safe, and personalized.

What does the first stage include?

Review of relevant medical history and a short questionnaire
Clarifying intentions - what you would like to work on
Explanation of the treatment process and possible sensations
Full alignment of expectations and open questions
Creating a calm, safe, and held space

During the Ceremony - What Happens in a Kambo Treatment - Step by Step

Stage 1 - Opening, Grounding, and Drinking Water

The ceremony opens with deep breathing and establishing calm in the space. At this stage, a measured amount of water is consumed to allow the Kambo to work safely and smoothly within the body. This is the time when the body begins to synchronize, and the space opens for deep work.

Stage 2 - Applying the Kambo Points (The 'Gates')

During this stage, a few small points are created on the skin, through which the Kambo is gently applied. This is a brief and delicate process. Almost immediately, the body begins to respond, and its natural healing and cleansing mechanisms are activated.

Stage 3 - Body Work and Deep Cleansing

This is the core part of the treatment. The body increases its energy, the heart rate rises slightly, and you may feel heat, sweat, rising emotions, or the need to release through purging. This is a deep, precise, and guided cleanse. At this stage, many people experience a clearing, emotional release, or a feeling of a 'reset'.

Stage 4 - Removing the Kambo and Resting

Once the body has completed its work, the Kambo is removed and the body returns to balance. This is a short resting period where breathing returns to normal, you drink water if needed, and allow the body to stabilize. Many report a sense of cleanliness, clarity, lightness, or inner quiet.

What happens in the body during Kambo?

Kambo activates natural healing mechanisms that the body already possesses. Contrary to common belief, the process is not a "drug" or a psychoactive substance – but rather physical-energetic medicine that opens the system, balances, and clears burdens. Here you can understand what happens in the body during Kambo work in a simple and clear way.

Activating the lymphatic system - Kambo stimulates the lymphatic system, which is the body's natural cleansing system, and helps expel waste, toxins, blockages, and stagnation.
Strong work on the immune system - The peptides in Kambo "wake up" the immune system, creating a physical response aimed at strengthening and renewing it.
Deep emotional release - During the treatment, emotions may rise, along with tears, laughter, or a sense of release. This is a natural part of the process - the body is healing from old traumas, fears, and burdens.
Energetic Reset - Many report a feeling of complete emptying followed by a "fresh start": clarity, sharpness, inner quiet, and stability.

What happens after the treatment?

After the body finishes its work with Kambo, a stage of relaxation, grounding, and integration begins. This is an important time when the system reorganizes itself, the mind calms down, and the body begins to generate clarity and stability from within.

Rest and grounding - You may feel either deep fatigue or immense lightness. Resting allows the body to complete the healing work.
Hydration and light food - Drink water in moderation and eat only light food during the initial phase after the treatment - to allow the system to stabilize.
Emerging emotions - An emotional wave is possible - quiet, tears, joy, softness, or inner emptying. This is a natural part of the process the body is leading.
Integration in the days after - Many report mental clarity, improved energy, emotional stability, and an experience of an "internal reboot" that helps start a new chapter cleanly.

I am a big believer in sharing external information, and I try to include a link on the subject in every page to make the vast knowledge accumulated worldwide about Kambo medicine accessible. There are plenty of studies exploring the different peptides entering the body and the long-term effects of this medicine. Attached is a link to an external study detailing the extensive scientific knowledge on Kambo regarding health benefits, toxins, ethnopharmacology, and medical aspects:
