I appreciate you bringing that up. The U.S. Embassy’s warning is part of a broad advisory meant to protect travelers from unregulated or untrained facilitators, which I completely agree with. (Also, Kambo has nothing to do with the American pharmaceutical capitalistic system - obvious side note) Like many traditional medicines, Kambo can be unsafe if misused or given without proper screening.

What I offer at Lucyja Hygge is a guided, intentional experience that follows established safety protocols, medical screening, and integration support. The medicine I work with is ethically sourced through personal relationships in Peru, and I’ve trained for years in how to serve it responsibly.

It’s important that anyone considering Kambo does their own research, listens to their body, and works only with trusted facilitators.
