Kambo for mental health : how often ?

General 🐸

I’m really curious to understand how Kambo affects the body and mind, especially the nervous system.
I’ve been struggling with pretty severe anxiety and PTSD. When I’m really dysregulated, I’ll wake up physically shaking, and intrusive thoughts can trigger the same kind of intense physical anxiety.

Earlier this summer, I did 3 Kambo ceremonies after hitting rock bottom: ptsd diagnosis, severe depression, lost appetite,severe anxiety, su*cidal thoughts: and afterward I felt incredibly calm, like a level of calm I honestly hadn’t experienced in a very long time.

That effect seemed to last around 1.5–2 months for me.
It’s now been about 3 months since my last ceremony, and I’ve noticed my body gradually going back into that severe anxiety/dysregulated state.

My life and environment have also been stressful lately, so I’m sure that plays a huge role too.

For people who use Kambo and struggle with severe nervous-system dysregulation, how often do you personally do it? I’ve seen some people say every 2–3 months, while others only do it once or twice a year.

I’m especially interested in hearing people’s actual experiences that also struggle with mental health.

how long do you notice the calming effects lasting, and what frequency has felt sustainable for you?

Thank you! 🐸☀️
