Yeah, you don't need water to do an allergy test. But you should drink most of the water before doing a full session. And have some extra available in case you get dry mouth and the same feelings I get after administering kambo.

Approximately 1.5-2 liters of water, and time it properly - doesn't have to be exactly 1.5 liters. And it's probably helpful to keep drinking water after applying the kambo, because it sucks the water deeper for me, and causes dry mouth; So I end up drinking more after applying while I'm waiting for the intensity to subside and for the nausea to come on strongly. If I want a really deep cleanse, I will do an herbal tea enema before and after, and that helps to hydrate the body.

"The scent of magnolia and jasmine is in part due to a compound called methyl dihydrojasmonate. This chemical is produced by the flowers and easily becomes airborne. A group of cell physiologists has now shown that the lining of the human nose has a specific type of receptor called VN1R1. When I stand under the magnolia tree and inhale, airborne methyl dihydrojasmonate molecules are actually binding to the receptors in my nose, which then send signals to my brain. The RUB researchers have collaborated with a team at the University Hospital Dresden to track exactly where those signals are going. Activating the VN1R1 receptor stimulates the areas of the brain controlling the limbic system, which is associated with human emotions, motivation, memory, and smell. It also activates the hypothalamus, especially in women, which controls sexual behaviour by regulating hormone levels. The effect seems to be specific to magnolias and jasmine though. Researchers tested compounds responsible for other floral scents and found they had no effect. It seems magnolias are in fact producing the scent of romance – or at least lust."

"If this is actually the case, and humans produce this compound, it could represent the first example of a human pheromone. Pheromones occur in the vast majority of animals and are a form of scent-based communication whereby one animal produces a compound, and when the other smells it, the compound elicits a specific, consistent physiological or behavioral response. Humans have never been shown to produce pheromones, and proving their existence is an uphill battle. The classic example of pheromones are as sex signals, but human attraction is a complicated affair that is heavily influenced by social conditioning and learned behaviors. The effects of the compound may not be obvious, or replicable across all people, calling into doubt its status as a pheromone. Nevertheless, any compound that stimulates the VN1R1 receptor is a good candidate for the first human pheromone"

Greetings all,

So I’ve recently had a sit with a new practitioner. ( new for me, not new with her experience )
Everything was great with one major exception.
I’ve been experiencing difficulty breathing  since, I didn’t notice this immediately after , but perhaps on the second or third day after. Been going on since..about 6 days now.
Here’s the part : The Placement was on the chest - sternum area. It felt intuitively right, until this happened and of course I’m questioning why😔
Facilitator thinks nothing to worry about- that it’s likely energetic.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what could of happened?
I’m thinking I might need to get some medica attention ,  explaining the kambo part could be a bit of a challenge, I esp considering I’m in Thailand

Thanks all

Going on my first solo journey tonight at 9PM! Thanks everyone for your answers to these questions, as they have helped me decide how to go about things. Fasting for 8 hours. Starting with 1 dot at 830 and assuming I am not allergic I will go for the full 3 at 9. I will be burning mapacho and have taken Sananga, 1 drop in each eye a few hours ago to clear bad panema. I will mix some mapacho with water and sniff if I have any blockages, to help me purge. But only if needed. Otherwise I will just be burning it as incense. Thanks again, everyone! I know this forum is basically dormant but the knowledge already posted was plenty to answer any questions I may have had. My wife will be with me in case there are any issues, for my safety.
