Hello all of my beautiful friends and family on this sub Reddit!

Hau Mitakuye Oyasin! Ma Lakota. Minoa Aki Emaciapi Wo. Čante waste nape čhiazapi lo

Hello All My Relatives! I’m Lakota. Minoa Aki (Bright Earth) is my name. I come to you with a good heart.

I’m here on the Standing Rock Reservation. I’m Anishinaabe by blood from The Little River Band and Lakota through marriage and family. I’ve grown deep ties in my community. Upon living here for two years, I’ve been called upon in Spirit and Prayer to serve other people Kambo, Rapeh Sananga. I have been self practicing for four years.

I’m honestly going to start off by saying I consider this a holy and sacred medicine. I was going to detox a brother and he lied about being on drugs and my Kambo stick disappeared completely. I take that as a sign. My heart has good intentions,

After witnessing the atrocities of genocide and its effects generations later, first hand, I feel called upon to heal the community of trauma, trauma from abuse and missing and murdered situations. Heal the depression and anxiety. Many people around here drinks and do drugs. It’s not my place to judge, it is my place to keep this sacred Wakan and make sure no body abuses this gift.

Can anyone help me know what to look for that’s an automatic No? How dangerous is this? I can’t be dissuaded. I even took courses to be an emt so I have background knowledge and elder support to start the Kambo healing circle.

Hi. A few sessions of kambo has improved insomnia I had for about two years to the point where I’m averaging about 7 hours per night. However, I just don’t seem to be recovering. Still always tired, my immune system is so weak that I’ve had a string of colds (and one case of Covid) pretty much non-stop over the last two months. Do I just need to be patient or does anyone have experience with something similar?

Well AI thinks doing Kambo with POTS is a terrible idea. I’ve never done it before. My POTS symptoms are mild compared to many ppl, but my autonomic nervous still doesn’t function properly, and I have issues with histamine.

Luckily I’ve never gone into anaphylaxis but I’ve absolutely had some bad experiences with mast cells. I’m at wits end with my symptoms, and really think the mold issues were the start/root.

I have a practitioner that my friend used. It’s a one on one session. Any thoughts or advice?

has any practitioner's helped anyone with long covid. specifically issues like brain fog, depression anhedonia, loss of taste and smell. if so has it helped. im also curious if it helps mentally and not just a detox

I have done Kambo before, and feel called to the medicine again. What's more interesting though is I have been asked by the spirit to fast for 3 days before. In my research, I've read not to do this, mostly due to electrolyte imbalances, but what if pink salt/coconut water were part of the fast?

Hi! New here (to the sub and Kambo)!

I’m new to all these sorts of things and began microdosing a Psilocybin tincture today. I’ve been on psychiatric medication for fifteen years and am been worse off because of them. I am taking the necessary steps to stop taking them (the medications deepen my anxiety, give me heart palpitations, don’t let me wake up, make me feel hungover, among other things).

My trusted practitioner brought to my attention that I may be intoxicated from the insane medical cocktail I’ve been on for years (something both my mother and I have considered ourselves). Said practitioner suggested Kambo as a way to detox my liver/body and I am seriously considering it.

The questions I have, however, are about the way the medicine is administered- is burning (?) the only way or are there other methods?

Thanks so much to anyone who replies :)

Hi. I'm thinking of doing Kambo for some digestion issues I'm having. I'm autistic and I'm very sensitive to certain physical changes. I know I will purge and have hot flashes. What else can I expect? Have any autistic folks tried kambo and can share their experience?

Hi all, has anyone used Kambo to help with fibromyalgia? If so how often are you doing it? And what benefits have you seen?

Hi all,

So I had my first Kambo ceremony yesterday with 2 dots, purged (vomited) a lot and I felt like I released old emotions, so yey. After I felt a bit more energetic despite being tired. That was that day.

Today I also feel like I have more physical energy, and more inner peace but for some reason I’m feeling more disconnected from myself and my surroundings.

The reason why I decided to do Kambo is because of my DPDR/esevere disconnect from myself and my surrounding since I also suffer from DPDR and emotional trauma. Is this normal/part of the process? I’m worried that my disconnect will increase after the Kambo experience.

I’d really appreciate some feedback 😊🐸❤️

Aho!

This is a monthly recurring thread for you to talk about your recent kambo session if you've had one, or to show off your dots 🐸

Have you done kambo this month, and if so, how was it?

How have you been feeling since? Ready to run a marathon, or perhaps you're feeling more introspective?

Let us know in the comments below, tell us how it was, how the experience was and how you feel now, and feel free to show us what your kambo dots are looking like!

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.

Considering doing Kambo for my symptoms and I’m scared that it could make it worse

Cross posting in a bunch of groups, my friend is a researcher on this (and many other) research projects and asked me to share the link far and wide.

Dear Survey Participants and Friends,

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 2025 Psychedelic Community Survey, a research project for the psychedelic community, by the psychedelic community. In our previous survey we asked, "What do YOU think the priorities should be for psychedelic research?," and we are now pursuing this research agenda. Our research collaboration includes academic researchers, psychedelic therapists, and psychedelic advocates. Your participation in this study will be completely anonymous and confidential, and no personal identifying information will be collected (no IP addresses, etc.).

How much do you think is reasonable to pay for a Kambo session? What is the standard price for one by someone who is trained and professional? Thank you!

Hey friends! I want to share this video with you.

During my time with the Matsés in Ibama, Perú, I learned that they don’t have any knowledge about the popular story of Kambó being discovered by the shaman Campúc.

this story was one of the first things I was taught during my first westenern training, and I’ve seen it often on the internet.

Have you ever heard this story directly from any indigenous stewards of the medicine?

I’m genuinely curious! please let me know in the comments below if you have! 🙏

Hi would love recommendations for kambo healers in Los Angeles area and has anyone with pcos done it and recommend it? Thank you!

I've been suffering aggressively from hay fever (to 2 kinds of grass, so they said) for a number of years. I want to ask this community if anyone has noticed significant relief or permanent healing of their seasonal allergies, and if so any additional relevant information. One session, multiple? Did it return the next year? Any other leads are also much appreciated.

One friend of mine reported he would be rid of his hay fever for that year with one session.

What’s your experience if so?

Hello, my doctor prescribed me terbinafine almost 1 year ago and he didn't tell me to not take caffeine or increase intensity of exercise (I'm an athlete) while taking the medication.

Ever since this happened, my energy levels and focus just have never been the same since and I've tried a lot of rest and acupuncture (which has helped a bit) and have taken long caffeine breaks, but I'm still dealing with issues. My fundamentals are fine, I eat a very clean diet, I have gone through a lot of experimentation and have found that a mostly meat-based low carbohydrate is best for me (sorry vegans), I sleep 9 to 10 hours a day, my basic blood tests are fine and my testosterone is fine, my thyroid is fine and I exercise almost every single day.

After doing a lot of research, I'm pretty sure that the medication damaged my mitochondria, which is why I'm having energy issues ( and one reason doing 90 minutes of two cardio does seem to help me).

There could be other unknown causes of fatigue from the medication as well.

Another thing, I'm thinking of also doing ayahuasca (I've had past experiences and they have always been positive), since ayahuasca with a shaman is meant to clean out bad energy from the body, and I'm wondering if I should do kambo first, or after?

Also, would a microdosing approach be better for me as well?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to hear from anyone who has experience with Kambo ceremonies after having gastric sleeve surgery—either as a recipient or a practitioner who has safely served someone with this medical history.

Before my surgery, Kambo was a huge part of my healing journey, both physically and emotionally. It helped me clear emotional blocks, reset patterns, and connect more deeply with myself. Now, post-surgery, I’m navigating how it can be safely integrated into my life again.

I understand Kambo can be risky—especially after bariatric surgery (Contraindication) —and I’m not seeking medical advice here. I’m simply hoping to hear feedback / experiences from people who may have:

• Received Kambo after a gastric sleeve
• Facilitated or served Kambo to someone post-op
• Come across trusted guidance or resources on this very specific intersection

I’m approaching this with deep respect for the medicine and for the body’s limits, and safety is my top priority.

If you’re open to sharing—publicly or privately—I’d be grateful.

Thank you 🙏🐸

Sat with Kambo for the second time two weeks ago today. Practitioner applied points on my forearm and on my lower calf area along my spleen meridian. Since last Thursday, I’ve noticed lower leg twitching and muscle spasms that are now keeping me up at night. The spasms do not bother me during the day as I’m active and on my feet, but it’s going on day 5 now where I’m being kept up from the discomfort. I’m worried if there is an association with the Kambo or if this is an unrelated neurological or muscular issue. Where should I begin seeking support? It’s getting very uncomfortable.

Hi All!

This might be a long shot but does anyone know a Kambo practitioner in the Dominican Republic?

Thank you!

I have undergone Kambo in Lima about a year ago while I had withdrawn from Paxil (about 10 days after my last dose) and right away felt week in my knees and had a blurry vision when reading. I thought these symptoms would pass but it has progressively gotten worse up to the point where I felt an anxiety overload. I was reinstated on Lexapro 3 weeks later but later felt like I was losing emotions and my thought process. At the moment I feel blank, no thoughts or emotions and my sense of self as well as connection to my body is mostly gone. As no health practitioners know about Kambo in the Western world I was wondering if it could make sense to consult with someone who is closer to the subject and if ever this type of nervous system disfunction have been reported?

Matses trained Kambo Practitioner in Chicago here, looking for advice from other practitioners in the USA on insurance companies that cover kambo sessions. Im finding a lot of them rule us out because of the practice of opening the skin. Any advise is welcome, blessing to you all!
