Effective Date: [8/12/24]

At Journey with Kambo, the safety, comfort, and understanding of our clients are our highest priorities. This Informed Consent Policy ensures that all clients are fully informed about the nature of Kambo treatments, including the processes, potential risks, benefits, and responsibilities involved. By agreeing to this policy, you confirm that you have read, understood, and voluntarily consent to participate in the treatment.

Kambo treatments are holistic, traditional healing practices rooted in Amazonian traditions. They are not medical procedures and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical or psychological condition. Clients are strongly advised to consult a licensed medical professional before beginning Kambo treatment, particularly if they have pre-existing health conditions.

The Kambo treatment process involves applying Kambo secretion to the skin through small, superficial burns. This allows the bioactive compounds to enter the lymphatic system, initiating detoxification and other physiological effects. During treatment, you may experience purging, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, or emotional release. These reactions are normal and are considered part of the detoxification process. Swelling or temporary discomfort may also occur and are expected outcomes of the treatment.

It is essential that clients disclose all relevant medical history, current health conditions, and any medications they are taking before undergoing Kambo treatment. Certain conditions, including but not limited to heart issues, aneurysms, pregnancy, and severe mental health disorders, are contraindicated for Kambo treatment. Failure to disclose accurate information may result in cancellation of the session for safety reasons.

While Kambo has shown beneficial effects for many individuals, results are not guaranteed and can vary significantly between clients. It is important to approach the treatment with an open mind and realistic expectations, understanding that Kambo is not a substitute for professional medical or psychological care.

By providing your informed consent, you acknowledge the risks involved in Kambo treatment, including but not limited to physical, emotional, or psychological effects. You accept full responsibility for your decision to participate and agree to hold Journey with Kambo and its practitioners harmless from any outcomes associated with the treatment.

This consent is given voluntarily, without coercion, and with the understanding that you may withdraw from the process at any time before the treatment begins. If you have any questions or require further clarification, we encourage you to ask before proceeding with the treatment.

By proceeding with your Kambo treatment, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy in its entirety and agree to the terms outlined above.
