​The Kambo ceremony is intended to help the participants connect with their body, mind and spirit through setting intention, honoring the sacred nature of life and of the frog secretion, and creating a safe space for the healing journey.  It can be administered one on one, or in a group setting. 

Other plant medicines may be used, such as sananga, hape, sage and palo santo.  Sananga is an eye drop that treats eye conditions and clears the energetic body.  Hape is a snuff made of a blend of mapacho (a type of Amazonian tobacco), wood ash, and other herbs depending on its intended purpose that provides grounding and can help induce a meditative state.  These medicines help the participants enter the ceremony state.  Smoke from sage and palo santo will be used throughout the ceremony to help clear the energy of the ceremony as well as to assist with the purging process.

Participants will sit on the floor, on a yoga mat, cushion, or pillows and will have ample space to lay down.  The ceremony begins with clearing the space, sharing intentions for the treatment, and deciding where the Kambo will be best applied.  Once the location is selected, the participants will have 15 minutes to drink 2 large mugs of warm banana or yucca juice.  Next the Kambo is applied and the detox process begins.  Though the ceremony usually lasts two hours, the time it requires for complete cleansing and purging is only 20-40 minutes.  Once the purging is complete, participants are welcomed to lay down to recover.  Though the experience can be quite intense, people tend to feel wonderful, energetic and strong afterwards.  Driving home after a ceremony is not a problem.
