Originating from the Amazon rainforest, Kambo involves applying the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog directly to small superficial burns on the skin. Known for its powerful cleansing properties, this practice has drawn people seeking clarity, renewal, and personal growth. But before you begin, knowing what a Kambo ceremony entails and how to prepare for this remarkable experience is essential.
The Preparation: How to Get Ready for Your Kambo Ceremony
Preparing for Kambo sessions requires discipline and dedication. Start by avoiding food for at least eight hours before the session. To get the most from your Kambo experience, it’s also advised to abstain from alcohol, caffeine, and any recreational substances for at least 24 hours before the ceremony. Wearing comfortable, loose clothing and removing any restrictive jewelry will also help you focus entirely on the experience ahead.
Drinking water is a vital part of Kambo preparation. Your practitioner will ask you to drink water during the session. While the body needs to be hydrated, it is also crucial not to drink liquids for two hours before your appointment.
Private vs. Group Sessions: Choosing the Right Kambo Setting
Eduardo offers Kambo sessions in Scottsdale in two primary formats: private, one-on-one sessions and Kambo Circles, which involve group settings. Private sessions provide a deeply individualized experience where Eduardo can tailor the session to your needs. This one-on-one approach can help you focus on your intentions with undivided support.
For those seeking community, a Kambo Circle can be a powerful way to experience the ritual collectively. The group dynamic amplifies energy, and the shared purpose often creates a special bond among participants. Each person in a Kambo Circle has a brief consultation with Eduardo before the session, allowing everyone to approach the experience with the same respect and understanding.
What Happens During a Kambo Ceremony?
During a Kambo ceremony, small burns are created on the skin, often on the upper arm for men or the lower leg for women. The top layer of skin is gently burned with a tiny stick, creating these points known as “gates.” The Kambo secretion is mixed with water and applied to these gates, entering the lymphatic system almost immediately.
Once the Kambo is applied, you may feel a rapid increase in your heart rate, a warm sensation in your face, or a slight flush over your body. Some participants feel slightly dizzy or spaced out, while others experience tingling or mild swelling. These sensations indicate that Kambo is actively circulating throughout your body, prompting your system to respond and work through any areas needing attention.
The Purge and Aftermath: Embracing the Cleansing Process
One of the defining aspects of Kambo sessions Scottsdale is the purging process. This is integral to Kambo’s purpose, allowing the body to release toxins. Participants may feel the need to vomit, which is encouraged as a part of this cleansing process. Although this can be physically intense, many find it emotionally and mentally clarifying.
Following the session, most people feel a sense of relief and lightness. Some report emotional insights, while others enjoy the sense of calm that often follows a Kambo session. As the effects wear off, you’ll likely feel back to normal within an hour, able to eat, drink, and go about your day. Be prepared to rest if needed, as you may feel slightly tired after your ceremony.
Types of Kambo Treatments: Exploring Different Approaches
Diverse treatment options are available for those wanting to explore Kambo further. The Meridian approach involves applying Kambo points to specific acupuncture sites, based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), to address particular areas within the body. On the other hand, the Chakras treatment focuses on the body’s energy centers, aiming to release tension and promote balance.
Auricular treatments are yet another option, utilizing points in the ear to impact multiple areas within the body. For individuals seeking a more intense experience, the 2×2 or 3×3 treatments involve double or triple applications, performed within two or three hours, respectively. These advanced approaches offer an even deeper experience but are recommended only for those who have undergone Kambo sessions.
What to Expect After Your Kambo Session
Once your Kambo ceremony is complete, any remaining points will be dressed with a natural sap known as Dragon’s Blood or “Sangre de Drago,” or “Sangre de Grado.” This helps seal and protect the points from infection, allowing them to heal smoothly. While the marks may remain visible for a while, they will typically fade over the next few months.
Following your session, many participants feel a unique sense of clarity. It’s common to experience a sense of release or gain new perspectives on life—some return to Kambo periodically, finding the experience beneficial in supporting their personal goals.
