Is Kambo Safe?
People have been using kambo as a treatment for hundreds of years. Deep in the Amazon rainforest, some people have taken kambo more than 100 times in their lifetime. However, when used outside of the tribal setting with people who do not know how to use it correctly, problems may occur. You should always make sure that the practitioner administering your kambo cleanse is highly trained and experienced.
Although highly unlikely, Kambo can be dangerous. I will do a screening before every appointment to minimise the risk. I make all my clients aware of a condition called Boerhaave Syndrome: spontaneous oesophageal rupture resulting from sudden increased intra-oesophageal pressure. Again extremely rare, you can read more about it HERE
