Precautions & Contraindications
Is The Kambo Fertility Boost Programme Right For You?
Everything you need to know for your safety and peace of mind.
If you have found this page, you are doing exactly the right thing. Before beginning any programme of this depth and power, it is important to understand what Kambo is, what it asks of the body, and whether it is the right fit for your particular situation.
For most people who reach out to us, the answer is yes. Kambo has been used safely for thousands of years across the Amazon, administered to animals, babies, children, and the elderly. It is not toxic, not addictive, and does not damage organs. When administered by a properly trained and certified practitioner, it is a safe, legal, and deeply intelligent medicine.
But not every body is in the right place for it at every moment. And at The Kambo Clinic for Fertility, we will always be honest with you about that.
Every client receives a full personal health screening with Claire Anstey before their first session. If Kambo is not right for you, you will receive a full refund and Claire will do her best to point you toward something that is.
A Note for Fertility Clients Specifically
If you are currently undergoing active fertility treatment, IVF, IUI, or medicated cycles, we ask that you let Claire know at the time of booking. In most cases we can work around your treatment schedule, timing your Kambo sessions in the windows between cycles to complement rather than interfere with your medical treatment.
Many clients come to us specifically to prepare their bodies before beginning IVF, or to support recovery and reset after a failed cycle. Both are entirely appropriate uses of this programme.
If you are unsure about timing, simply send Claire a WhatsApp message and she will advise you personally.
When Kambo Is Not Advised
You must not take Kambo if you:
Have serious heart problems or a heart condition.
Are on medication for low blood pressure.
Have had a stroke, brain haemorrhage, aneurism or blood clots.
Lack the mental capacity to consent to treatment.
Have serious mental health conditions. Please contact Claire to discuss your situation before booking, as depression, PTSD and anxiety are not necessarily contraindicated.

Are taking immune suppressants following an organ transplant.
Have Addison's Disease or very low cortisol levels.

When Extra Care Is Needed
You may still be able to take Kambo, but we will take extra care and tailor your session accordingly if you:
Are currently undergoing fertility treatment, IVF, IUI or medicated cycles.
Are taking immune suppressants for autoimmune conditions.
Have an active eating disorder such as bulimia or anorexia.
Have a current drug or alcohol dependency.
Take high doses of slimming pills, serotonin supplements or sleep aids.

Are asthmatic.
Are diabetic.
Have epilepsy that is not currently active or severe.
Regularly use diuretic medication or heavily consume sports drinks or energy drinks.
What About Medications?
Many medications are perfectly compatible with Kambo and can be resumed after your session. Claire will discuss your specific medications with you during your health screening and advise on any adjustments needed. Please never stop taking prescribed medication without speaking to your GP first.
Is It Safe to Take Kambo Whilst Trying to Conceive?
Yes, for most people who are actively trying to conceive, Kambo is not only safe but actively supportive of conception. The programme is specifically designed to prepare the body, the nervous system, and the subconscious mind for pregnancy.
The one exception is if you believe you may already be pregnant at the time of your session. If there is any possibility of pregnancy, please let Claire know before your session and she will advise accordingly.
Not Sure? Just Ask.
If you are unsure about anything on this page, please reach out before booking. Claire Anstey personally reviews every client enquiry and offers a free consultation before every session. You will have the space to share your concerns, ask your questions, and feel fully informed before moving forward.
There is no pressure and no obligation. Just an honest conversation between you and someone who genuinely wants to help.
If Kambo is not the right fit for you, Claire will say so and where possible will point you toward something that is.
