Kambo Therapy Process: A Step-by-Step 

Kambo therapy, an ancient healing practice rooted in indigenous traditions, involves the use of secretions from the skin of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog. This process is believed to provide cleansing and detoxification benefits. Here’s a detailed overview of the therapy process.

Energy Cleanse and Connection

Before we dive into the physical aspects of Kambo, we begin with an energy cleanse. This initial stage sets the intention for the session and allows participants to connect with the medicine. During this time, I encourage open communication and will address any questions or concerns you might have about the process. This creates a space of trust and understanding, essential for a successful experience.

Opening the Gates

Next, we proceed to the ‘opening gates’ stage. This involves creating small burns on the outer layer of the skin. These superficial burns are strategic and designed to facilitate the absorption of Kambo secretions. It's a necessary step that can be uncomfortable, but it is brief and essential for the treatment process.

Hydration with Sodium-Rich Water

While the gates are opening, you will be drinking no more than 1 liter of sodium-rich water. This hydration is crucial as it prepares your body for the Kambo secretions, enhancing their efficacy and promoting the detoxification process that follows.

Application of Kambo Secretions

Once the burns are ready, we apply Kambo secretions directly onto these openings. The powerful compounds in the secretion enter the body through the lymphatic system. This prompts a strong detoxification response, cleansing the body and mind on multiple levels.

Duration and Experience

The entire Kambo therapy process typically lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour. During this time, you may experience various physical sensations—some may find it invigorating, while others may feel purging effects as the body releases toxins. It’s important to remain present and aware throughout the experience, as this aids in the overall healing journey.

In summary, Kambo therapy is a profound experience that offers an opportunity for physical and emotional detoxification. By beginning with an energy cleanse, facilitating the burn process, hydrating effectively, and applying the Kambo secretions, participants often report feelings of clarity, rejuvenation, and balance following the session. Always approach this therapy with care and respect for the powerful medicine it entails.
