Kambo: Healing with the Amazonian Teacher Frog

Kambo: Healing with the Amazonian Teacher Frog The Kuntanawa people harness the secretions of the revered Kambo frog for their healing intentions, seeking to address present and future ailments. Known as a natural vaccination, Kambo initiates a purgative cleansing experience on the body, mind, and spirit. Considered a potent detoxifier, once the effects wear off, the body emerges stronger and better equipped to combat sickness. Additionally, Kambo serves as a powerful energetic cleanse, believed to remove bad luck and curses according to the teachings of the Kuntanawa people. Through this profound experience, individuals often gain a newfound perspective, awakening to deeper levels of understanding and being.

Genipapo: Basic Body Painting on your choice of hand, face, or foot

Sacred Body Paint: Embracing Ancestral Wisdom The Kuntanawa people hold a deeply spiritual tradition of adorning their bodies with sacred geometry symbols handed down from their ancestors. These intricate Jugua paintings are considered highly sacred, offering wearers protection and a profound connection to their spiritual path. The rituals of body painting are observed during ceremonies and festivals, with many Kuntanawans choosing to paint their bodies daily. Each individual's body paint carries specific blessings and serves as a shield against the sun's intensity in the Amazon. Every symbol and painting holds its own unique meaning, carefully selected based on the energy and intentions of the wearer. This mindful approach ensures that the direction, placement, and choice of symbols resonate harmoniously with the individual. During festivals, it is common for the Kuntanawa people to use the plant Urucum, which symbolizes moments of happiness and represents the color of love and beauty. Its elegant hues make it an ideal choice for festive occasions. On the other hand, Genipapo is predominantly used for ceremonial purposes, signifying the art of wisdom and a profound connection to the Earth and celestial spirits. According to Kuntanawa teachings, their ancestors reside in the stars, and wearing Jugua paint establishes a direct constellational pathway to ancestral knowledge that permeates from above and all around. Through the sacred practice of body painting, the Kuntanawa people not only honor their ancestors but also tap into a profound spiritual connection that shapes their identity and understanding of the world. This tradition serves as a living testament to the enduring wisdom and cultural heritage of the Kuntanawa tribe. (Genipapo is optional at the Retreats)

Contraindications	Our priority is your safety and well being, and to guide you to personal healing and growth. During the booking process you will be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. Please be as forthcoming as possible when answering the questions. If any potential medical contraindications are present, we will inquire further to ensure your safety. By registering for a program, you are declaring that you are in physical and mental condition appropriate to the activities described in the workshop program, that you agree to participate at your own risk, and that we cannot accept liability for any accident or injury. We will provide the most secure environment to work with medicinal plants as much as possible and ensure your welfare to the best of our abilities, at all times. In return, we ask that you behave responsibly and do not endanger yourself or others. General Medical Precautions Working with medicinal plants can carry health risks; it is necessary that you disclose any known heart, liver, kidney, pancreatic, or other serious medical condition, and/or use of any medication at the time of booking. Those with diabetes or hepatic conditions must first consult with the host or Kuntanawa and provide more information about the condition. If you have a heart condition, chronic high blood pressure or tuberculosis please let us know so we can adjust dosage for you. Please contact us before making a reservation to discuss your particular case. Although the medicinal plants we use have not been found to cause psychosis or other psychiatric disturbances, it can be dangerous to those with a history of psychological conditions. Please inform us of any history of mental health problems in the past. It is important to suspend any kind of psycho-pharmaceutical and depression treatments 14 to 42 days before drinking some of our medicinal plants. We will provide more specific advice on how to proceed under the supervision of your doctor once we receive details of a particular medication in question. Contraindications From an Amazonian plant healer’s perspective: When a patient or apprentice is working with a medicinal plant, it is preferable to not take any other substances. This may cause cutipado or, in other words, interfere with the plant’s energy and provoke unwanted reactions. Certain drugs and medications have been found to not be compatible with some medicinal plants. It is essential to stop taking the substances listed in this document and give your system sufficient time to remove them from the body before you begin a program. We will provide advice on how to proceed during your booking process. Please consult your doctor if you are in any doubt. You should not stop taking prescribed medications without consulting your doctor. If you are taking any drugs or herbs it is important to review the information carefully below. For your safety, all drugs and herbs listed below should be discontinued in a safe manner at least 2 weeks (or more if indicated) before drinking some of our medicinal plants. Please consult your physician before changing your medical schedule. Herbal Contraindications for some of our medicinal plants: St. Johns Wort • Kava • Kratom • Ephedra • Ginseng • Yohimbe • Sinicuichi • Rhodiola Rosea • Kanna • Boswellia • Nutmeg • Scotch Broom • Licorice Root • Cannabis Interactions: Smoking marijuana before drinking some medicinal plants may stupefy and darken the overall experience, acting as a blockage. Given the general amplified sensitivity of all participants during the event, marijuana negatively affects not just the person who used it, but potentially other participants’ experiences as well as the overall energy of the medicine circle. It is important that your system is clear of cannabis at least 12 hours Contraindications: Drugs and Medications Any medication that contains MAO inhibitors (MAO-Is) are known to cause dangerous side effects when taken in conjunction with drinking some medicinal plants and should be suspended. Any medication that has an effect on the serotonin system, including Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), can induce serotonin syndrome, with potentially fatal results when combined with some medicinal plants. We advise that SSRI medications be suspended SIX WEEKS prior to taking some medicinal plants to allow the system to clear in time.

(A fatality has been recorded involving combining Peganum harmala and cocaine. Fatalities resulting from combining amphetamines with pharmaceutical MAO-Is are recorded in medical literature.) Using other serotonin agonists or precursors with an MAO-I can lead to serotonin syndrome. The main symptom of serotonin symptom may be a severe and long-lasting headache (the same symptom as MAO-I tryptamine interaction) and/or fever (as high as 40 °C / 104 °F or more) Other symptoms of serotonin syndrome may include rapid heartbeat, shivering, sweating, dilated pupils, intermittent tremor or twitching, overactive or over-responsive reflexes, hyperactive bowel sounds, high blood pressure.

Using Benzedrine, Benzphetamine, Desipramine, Desoxyn, Dexedrine, Dopamine, Ephedrine (contained in Marax, Quadrinal, and other asthma drugs), Epinephrine, 8 of 9 Guanadrel, Guanethidine, Hydralazine, Isoproterenol, L-dopa, Metaraminol, Methyldopa, Mirtazamine, Norepinephrine Oxymetazoline, Phendimetrazine, Phentermine, Phenylephrine, Phenylpropanolamine, Pseudoephedrine, Ritalin, or Venlafaxine with MAO-Is may cause a hypertensive crisis (severe spike in blood pressure).

Using Venlafaxine (Effexor) with MAO-Is may result in hypertensive crisis. Using Ziprasidone (Geodon) with MAO-Is may cause serotonin syndrome. Using alcohol with MAO-Is may cause side effects like angina (chest pain) or headaches. The headache may mask or be mistaken for hypertensive crisis caused by MAO-I interaction. MAO-Is can also increase the sedative effect of alcohol. Using opiates with MAO-Is carries a risk of respiratory depression. Using diuretics with MAO-Is may cause a greater drop in blood pressure than normal and increase in MAO-I blood levels. Using anesthetics with MAO-Is may potentiate the anesthetic effect.
