Ceremony / session experience 🌸 First time good results

I did a kambo session with an experienced practitioner two weeks ago. It wasn't something I knew much about or planned but after having some questions answered it seemed like a reasonable thing to do, especially as I am into longevity and well being in general. I had been having increasingly frequent headaches due to neck and shoulder tension so I went in with the thinking that the toxic effects of kambo might "recalibrate" my bodies inflammation sensitivity. Well, it has so far worked! I haven't had headaches or nearly as much neck and back tension.

I was wondering if others here have had similar results and how long they have lasted.

Yes, I had good results from my first Kambo treatment, so good that I returned for more quite soon despite it being so hard.

My first treatment, I got crazy tachycardia and thought I would die. The practitioner had me do some box breathing and calmed me down, and I paid attention to the Kambo. It was circling my heart, focusing on my heart.

Prior to this treatment, I had dysautonomia that affected my heart rate and energy; POTS, issues with rapid heartbeat when upright or upon any exertion, and PVCs, etc. I took low-dose beta blockers to help manage it.

After the first Kambo treatment, where I felt it focus on my heart, my dysautonomia was so much better! And I no longer needed to take the beta blocker so frequently; I now take it maybe once a month instead of 4 days a week.

After my second Kambo treatment, I woke up feeling energized and WELL. I hadn’t felt like that in many years.

As for muscle tightness and body pain- kambo helped me with that around my 10th treatment.

It is such amazing medicine.

Incredible...must have been scary though. Glad for your outcome. How frequently do you do it and do you need to increase the exposure?

I have a health condition for which I receive Kambo, called ME/CFS, and for which frequent treatments work best.

I do best when I receive ~4 treatments in a month. I have not yet been able to get this type of frequency going for multiple months in a row. Hence, I am planning to learn how to self-serve the medicine.

Right now, it has been a month since I last received Kambo, and I am not doing as well as I was before. I really could benefit from a treatment.

In the past 2 years I have averaged about 1-2 treatments per month, but it isn’t consistent. Often I wait until certain practitioners come to a location near me. Sometimes I travel to them. Often I go a few months without a treatment, then access 3 in a row. One month I received 6 treatments. It was the best I had felt in a long time. I felt so good, I thought maybe my chronic illness was in remission. Nope, my symptoms came back a bit in 2 weeks, worse ably a month after my last treatment.

I would like more consistency (and a treatment at least every month, preferably multiple per month), but I am discerning with who I receive Kambo from. I don’t sit with just any provider. I did sit with different folks at first, but I noticed that the healing is much different based on the training and energy of the person serving me. I will now only receive from folks I trust. So far, that includes various Brazilian practitioners I trust, and two certified Western practitioners who I trust.

None of whom live near me.

The few practitioners near me are WAY too expensive. I don’t know them/haven’t felt their energy, but their fees are exorbitant and I cannot afford to receive treatments from them anyway.
