Before applying Kambo frog medicine, there are different preparation methods that participants may follow.

Here's a description of the three different Kambo preparation methods:
Yuca Drink Method:
- 12 hours fast: Participants are required to fast for 12 hours before the Kambo ceremony. This fasting period helps to ensure that the body is in a clear and receptive state for the Kambo medicine to work effectively.
- Consumption of the Yuca drink: In this method, participants drink a traditional preparation made from Yuca, also known as cassava root, during the ceremony preparation. The Yuca drink is believed to have a purifying effect on the body and helps to enhance the cleansing properties of the Kambo medicine.

This method is typically used for those who are familiar with Kambo and wish to have a more profound and transformative healing journey.

This method can be suitable for both newcomers to Kambo and experienced participants.
