What is Kambo?

Kambo is a natural medicinal secretion that comes from the “shamanic” frog found in the Amazonian Rainforest. This special tree frog, known as Phylomedusa Bicolor, is rich in a healing cocktail of biopeptides and neuropeptides that has been used by natives for thousands of years to heal physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dis-ease and pain.

Kambo is not a poison or a venom, but rather a secretion that is used by the shamanic frog as a deterrent from potential predators. The tribal communities use Kambo for many purposes; to ward off negative spirits and energies, to clear bad luck, to heal infections and disease, and support fertility and immunity, among other reasons.

Simply put, Kambo helps to bring your body and mind back into a state of homeostasis by releasing stored toxins and regenerating cellular function that decreases over time, with age. The medicine enters the lymphatic system, which activates the body’s natural ability to heal itself on all planes. After using Kambo, people often experience drastic shifts in their energy levels, dramatic improvements in their physical health and vitality, a decrease in mental suffering and an increase in creativity and spiritual awakening.

What is a peptide?

Peptides are naturally found throughout the body and are the building blocks of life itself. They are short chains of amino acids and each have their own specific purposes and properties. Bioactive peptides found in Kambo interact with body processes, guiding and assisting them to greater homeostatic functioning. They ignite the immune response and aid in cellular regeneration.

Specifically in the Kambo chemical cocktail, we find that bioactive peptides perform hormone-like function and provide support for vital cellular processes. They have a potent effect on the gastrointestinal muscles, gastric and pancreatic secretions, blood circulation and the reproductive organs. These special bioactive peptides also have analgesic properties and are antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral. They are also known to inhibit the growth of cancerous and tumor cells.

The neuropeptides found in the Kambo secretion have a potent effect on how the neurons communicate in the body and brain. They are involved in a wide range of mental functions including memory, analgesia (pain relief), learning, and metabolism and stimulate the adrenal cortex and the pituitary gland. Unlike many pharmaceutical substances, Kambo has the ability to cross and expand the blood-brain barrier and generate potent effects on the brain.

What can I expect during a Kambo healing ceremony?

Our Kambo ceremony will last approximately 90 min - 2 hours for 1:1 ceremonies and 3 hours for small group ceremonies. Before the ceremony begins, we will take time to clarify and ground into your specific intentions for healing and decide on dosage. Any questions or concerns you may have will be answered prior to the application of the medicine.

Kambo will be administered through skin portals or “gates”, where the outermost layer of skin, known as the epidermis, is gently removed. Typically a session will include the creation of 1-3 gates for first time clients in which the medicine will be placed. Returning clients may receive from 1-7 gates, depending on their tolerance and experience with the medicine.

Once Kambo is applied to the gates, the healing medicine tends to take effect rather quickly. Typically, a warm flush is felt through the body within the first 1-3 minutes of application. Temporary sensations of tingling, numbness and swelling in mouth/throat/tongue, accelerated heart rate, slight pulsing in the head and ears, dizziness and lightheadedness may occur and are extremely normal as the medicine enters your lymphatic system and is quite unfamiliar to your mind and body. Though uncomfortable, these sensations are transient and usually pass within the first several minutes. This initial phase of the ceremony is often followed by symptoms not unlike the flu, including fatigue, nausea and body aches.

Kambo is a purgative medicine, meaning it can induce vomiting or defecation to help eliminate toxins and to aid the release of old, unprocessed energies. The purge can also come in the form of crying, shaking, laughing, speaking or other carthatic forms of release. It is important to remember that feeling discomfort during your ceremony is normal and Kambo helps to remove distortion within the energy field to enable a natural healing process to unfold.

After approximately 20 minutes, the medicinal secretion will be wiped from the gates and the post-purgative state begins quickly. Most people feel quite relaxed, tired, and often euphoric and at peace following their healing ceremony. After a 20-30 minute recovery period, you will enjoy an array of snacks and hydration. You will also have space to process and share about your experience as we close our ceremony. Typically, folks are able to resume their normal daily activities after ceremony and often report feeling invigorated and inspired post-ceremony.

It is also important to note that the healing properties of Kambo will continue to manifest in the hours and days following our session. Many experience positive side effects lasting weeks and months after their healing kambo ceremony.
