Thanks, Burnmark.. I read about the vasodilation effect yesterday.. I figured that was the case most likely. I remembered being on vasodilators for headaches years ago, and it had a similar heaving effect. Oddly, my last Kambô application was 5 days prior to menses and I was much lighter this time. Go figure.
My Kambô has been applied to my right upper arm. I wanted it closer to my heart than to be on my leg. Plus, I've been a type 1 diabetic for 20 yrs, and even though I have no neuropathy, there's a possibility for decreased circulation in my legs.
I'm still really new to this, so I appreciate your response. Cheers!
