How does Kambo work?
Kambo points are administered through small superficial gates on the skin and the active elements of the secretion quickly enter the body’s lymphatic system. This allows for the various peptides and neuropeptides, which are short chains of amino acids with specific biological effects, to easily bind to our receptors and take effect. As the body is flooded with these healing substances, it naturally starts to rid itself of accumulated toxins and dysfunctions and begins the process of bringing itself into more equilibrium. Various types of purging can occur as this cleansing is under way, typically lasting between 20 and 40 minutes, and this process can be uncomfortable.
Once the session is over, many people find that they immediately feel energized and rejuvenated, much lighter in the bodies and minds, and they feel a general sense of well-being. Others, especially those dealing with chronic illness, can go through a more difficult period caused by the Herxheimer reaction (or herx), when the body and specifically the liver work hard at neutralizing the toxins which were moved in the body. Kambo has very powerful antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, immune-boosting and pain-relieving properties, amongst others, and every session eventually brings the body into a greater state of homeostasis and increased health. Many of those who struggle with the various ailments that plague us today, on a physical, psychological and spiritual level, can generally benefit greatly from this powerful natural remedy from the Amazonian jungle.
