While extremely rare, it’s important to know about a condition called Boerhaave syndrome: spontaneous rupture of the esophagus due to a sudden increase in intra-esophageal pressure.
This syndrome is very rare but has occurred in healthy individuals over the past few years. Please also inform me about the following:

  • If you have asthma, don’t forget to bring your inhaler.
  • If you are diabetic, please contact me to discuss the treatment in advance.
  • If you have your period at the time of the treatment, be aware that the powerful vasodilators in Kambo may increase cramps and bleeding.
  • If you have suffered from or currently have mental health issues (except for mild depression), please contact me to discuss it, wh ether you take medication or not.
  • Let me know if you are taking any medications or supplements, as we usually advise against taking most of them on the day of the treatment.
