3 Key Points
- Before trying Kambo, be sure to check in with your doctor. Reported benefits include a physical and mental boost, as well as a ‘detox’ effect on the emotions and the body, but unpleasant side effects are possible.
- The Kambo ceremony includes using a hot stick to make tiny burns on the skin, where the substance is applied. This is said to induce an immune reaction in the body, which feels like an intense flu that lasts under an hour, supposedly flushing the digestive system, liver, and gallbladder.
- After the Kambo experience, practitioners have reported increased perceptive acuity, mental clarity, a feeling of wellbeing and cleansing, as well as an immune boost, leading to enhanced performance in high-stress situations.
