**Step 1: New Patient Intake**
New patients fill out an intake form capturing personal details and medical history. They review and sign consent forms, ensuring clarity on treatments and privacy. An initial consultation with the healthcare provider is scheduled to outline a treatment plan. Patients receive their records and are encouraged to ask questions, with an emphasis on comfort and transparency throughout.

**Swelling Duration**: While the swelling generally subsides within a couple of hours, it can sometimes last longer, but this is still considered normal.
**Cannabis**: While cannabis can be smoked post-ceremony, it's beneficial to continue detoxing your body.

**Returning to Work**: If you're feeling well-rested and the detox effects have subsided, returning to work the next day is feasible.

Post Kambo Care and Integration
Give yourself some time to process your Kambo ceremony (2/3 days), get good rest, and be grateful for your many blessings!🐸
Kambo is a great tool to support your healing journey whether it be physical, mental, spiritual or emotional. You must follow your intuition and commence a new way of living by observing the outcome of your choices.
It is a powerful healing detox and spiritual medicine if you allow it to be so and continue to work on yourself once the experience is over.
The sickness we carry lies within us and Kambo helps push it out to the surface for more healing and attention. Kambo did not make us sick or ill, we have had this deep rooted dis-ease within us.
Proper integration can further support your healing journey so remember to be consciously aware of the foods, people, places and things you are bringing into your newly cleansed auric field. Your spirit will appreciate it or reject it. Viva Kambo!
**Post Kambo Care Guidelines:**
After undergoing a Kambo session, it's crucial to follow certain care steps to ensure a smooth recovery and integration. Firstly, prioritize your safety; if you feel weak or lightheaded, avoid driving. Also, for the initial 24 hours post-session, steer clear of operating heavy machinery, moving furniture, or any physically taxing activities. To restore vital nutrients and electrolytes, consider re-mineralizing your body with mineral water or coconut water. Staying hydrated is essential, so aim to consume 8-10 glasses of water daily. It's advised to avoid hard-to-digest or energetically dense foods, such as dairy and meat, for at least 24 hours, or even longer if possible. Furthermore, abstain from alcohol and drugs for a minimum of three days following the session.
As your body adjusts post-Kambo, it's a time of integration. Pay attention to any vibrational shifts or changes in your energy. Be mindful of what you consume, not just in terms of food, but also the media you consume and the people you interact with. Whenever feasible, choose organic, non-processed whole foods to nourish your body. This period requires patience; treat yourself kindly and give yourself the necessary space to process the experience. Engage with nature, your community, and most importantly, set aside personal time for self-reflection. Ensure you're well-rested and always maintain a sense of gratitude for the healing journey you've embarked upon with Kambo.
