Post Treatment Care WHAT TO DO & INTEGRATION
Post Treatment Kambo Marks
After Kambo is removed from the top layer of skin, the entry points are closed with a Peruvian anti-bacterial/fungal tree sap (Dragon's Blood). This helps the entry points heal faster and acts as a "liquid bandage", while offering a secure antibacterial barrier.
DO NOT cover points with bandage.
DO NOT pick at the points or try to remove/clean off the Dragon's Blood.
​
Two days after treatment, ontop of the Dragon’s Blood, Calendula or Coconut oil can be used to aid healing process and limit scaring. Please stay away from chemical laden "healing" products such as Neosporin.
The entry points will heal and fade with time but depending on your skin color and type you may always have small visible scars. Most people see their Kambo scars as a badge of honor. Kambo Care uses a special blazing technique on clients that will limit scarring.
TO NOTE:
Post session, some experience heightened energy, while others may feel a bit tired or achy for a bit. Those that feel icky usually have a higher toxin load than others, so it's important to listen to your body and address what is needed, if possible. We will send you off with support to refortify you. Kambo is a very deep cleanse and it’s very important to be present with your experience when interacting.
The Frog can be an incredible catalyst to bring more balance, wellness and goodness into your life - are you ready to do the work to make it so?
Depending on the state of your health and how many Kambo treatments you have had, you may feel a variety of aftereffects. Many people will experience increased energy, uplifted mood, reduced stress, and improvement in pain, stamina, cognition and other medical conditions. However, you may not feel amazing right away. Feeling very sluggish after the first few treatments is quite common. Often times this can be attributed to something called the herxeimer effect or “Die off” symptoms. Kambo is potently anti-microbial and has a massive antibiotic effect on organisms in the body. As the organisms die, they burst open and release a number of toxic substances that the body has to filter out and detoxify. This can produce feelings of lethargy, depression, aches and pains, insomnia, and intestinal irritation. This is a very common reaction and will usually last between 1-7 days depending on the person. It is a good sign that the kambo is working and shuttling out toxins. This after-effect usually gets shorter and shorter each time and usually passes after multiple treatments.
It is not uncommon to feel disoriented or overwhelmed by certain aspects of life after your session. You may feel highly sensitive, or have emotions bubble up to the surface. You may receive messages loud and clear about how certain toxic relationships, jobs, behaviors or settings are not serving you. Sometimes these insights can be disruptive to our lives as we bulldoze our cottage to build a castle. There are a number of integration support resources for those who need it, and Caitlin is always available for support as well.
Be sure to nourish your body with healthy food and allow your self to get lots of rest. Ideally, you should not plan anything important directly after your session so that you have ample time to recover and integrate your experience. Avoid alcohol, inflammatory food, stress, and overexertion. Your body will be working hard to detox so do your best to avoid burdening it with any additional toxicity or stress. Allow your self time for self-care and naps.
If nausea, vomiting, headache or dizziness continues hours after the treatment, please contact Caitlin immediately.
