Avoid Stress and Heavy Media: Try to avoid watching violent, stressful, or highly stimulating media (TV, movies, social media). Instead, focus on reading, meditation, or listening to calming music.
Physical Activity: Engage in light, mindful physical activity such as yoga, walking, or stretching. Avoid intense or high-impact exercises that may drain your energy.

Eat Light: In the days leading up to the ceremony, eat smaller, lighter meals to ease digestion. Soups, fruits, steamed vegetables, and grains are ideal.

Fast the Day of Ceremony: We recommend fasting (no solid food) for 4-6 hours before the ceremony, allowing your stomach to be empty for optimal absorption of the medicine. Drink water but avoid heavy liquids.
Wear Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to the ceremony, as the experience may involve sweating, purging, or lying down for extended periods.

Lifestyle Recommendations Before Kambo
Mental and Emotional Preparation: It’s important to cultivate mindfulness and a positive mindset in the weeks leading up to the ceremony. Practice meditation, breathwork, or yoga to help center yourself.
Physical Activity: Light exercise such as yoga, stretching, walking, or swimming is recommended to keep your body active and improve circulation. Avoid intense workouts that may drain your energy.
Avoid Stressful Media: Stay away from stressful, violent, or overstimulating content (such as TV shows, movies, or news). Choose peaceful, uplifting content to calm your mind and spirit.
Sexual Activity: Refrain from sexual activity, including masturbation, for at least 2-3 days before the ceremony to conserve your energy (Very important For Men.)
Rest and Sleep: Ensure you get enough sleep and rest in the days leading up to the ceremony. Restful sleep supports your body's detoxification process and mental clarity.
Day Before the Ceremony
Eat Light: On the day before the ceremony, keep your meals light and simple. Focus on soups, steamed vegetables, fruits, and grains. Avoid heavy or complex meals.
Fasting: You will be required to fast for at least 8-12 hours before the ceremony. This means no solid food or heavy liquids (like juices) after your last meal. Drink water but avoid overhydrating in the hours immediately before the ceremony.
On the Day of the Ceremony
Stay Hydrated: Drink water, but don't overdrink before the ceremony. During the ceremony, you will likely be asked to drink a certain amount of water right before taking the Kambo medicine (usually about 1-2 liters, depending on the practitioner’s guidance). This helps facilitate the purge.
Wear Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to the ceremony, as the experience may involve sweating, purging, or lying down for extended periods.
