Important Safety Considerations for Kambo Self Application

Kambo is a powerful and physically intense practice that should be approached with seriousness, responsibility, and proper screening. While many people work with Kambo safely in structured settings, Kambo is not suitable for everyone and there are important contraindications that must be carefully considered beforehand.

Kambo can affect blood pressure, heart rate, and the cardiovascular system, which is why screening and informed supervision are essential. Kambo should only be used with appropriate training and experienced guidance.

Below are some of the main contraindications associated with Kambo.

---

Anyone with a serious heart condition

Kambo places stress on the cardiovascular system and can cause significant changes in blood pressure and heart rate during the process. For this reason, anyone with a serious heart condition, including pacemakers or other major cardiovascular issues, should not use Kambo.

Pregnant women

Kambo should never be used during pregnancy under any circumstances due to the physical intensity of the process and the potential risks involved.

Chemotherapy

Individuals currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy are generally not suitable for Kambo, as these treatments can place significant stress on the body and weaken physical resilience. Additional caution should also be taken with anyone who has recently completed chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and a recovery period of at least 6 months is advisable before considering Kambo.

Anyone under the age of 18

Kambo should not be used by anyone under the age of 18. Participation should only take place where an individual is mature enough to make an informed and responsible decision.

Anyone not mentally able to take responsibility for their decision

Kambo should only be approached by individuals who are mentally and emotionally capable of understanding the nature of the process and taking responsibility for the decision to participate.

Anyone with a history of serious mental illness

Individuals with a history of serious psychiatric conditions such as psychosis, schizophrenia, or mania should not use Kambo. Mild anxiety, depression, and PTSD are separate considerations and should be assessed individually during the screening process.

Anyone with a seriously low blood pressure

As Kambo can affect blood pressure, individuals with significant low blood pressure issues should be carefully assessed and may not be suitable to participate.

People taking certain medications

Certain medications may present contraindications or require additional caution. Anyone taking prescription medication should discuss this during the screening process with an experienced practitioner before considering Kambo.

People with a history of blood clots, stroke or aneurysms

Because Kambo affects circulation and the cardiovascular system, individuals with a history of blood clots, stroke, or aneurysms should not use Kambo unless appropriately assessed by a qualified medical professional.

People with severe epilepsy

Anyone with severe epilepsy should not use Kambo due to the potential risk of seizures during the process.

People recovering from major surgery

Kambo should not be used by anyone recovering from major surgery or significant internal or external wounds, as the body should be given adequate time to heal fully before undergoing an intense physical process.

People who are taking Immunosuppressant drugs for organ transplantation

Individuals taking immunosuppressant medication following an organ transplant should not use Kambo, as this situation requires specialist medical supervision and assessment.

Conclusion

Proper screening is an essential part of responsible Kambo practice. If you are considering working with Kambo, it should only be approached with appropriate training, supervision, and careful consideration of contraindications.

Aho!
