Kambo

What is Kambo?

Kambo is a sacred medicine sourced from the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, also known as the Giant Monkey Frog. Found in the Amazon rainforest, this potent secretion has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes for its powerful cleansing and healing properties. It is applied to small burns or points on the skin, where it enters the body through the lymphatic system, triggering a detoxification process. This intense experience can be overwhelming but offers powerful emotional and spiritual healing. Though the initial effects can be strong, many participants report experiencing a deep sense of clarity, renewal, and emotional release once the experience subsides.

How Kambo Works

Once the secretion is applied to the skin, it creates a strong physical reaction that includes purging, which can manifest as vomiting, sweating, or crying. This purging is the bodys natural way of releasing toxins and emotional blockages, clearing stagnant energy. Physically, it’s known to provide a reset to the immune system, boost vitality, and increase mental clarity. On an emotional level, Kambo is powerful for helping individuals let go of past trauma, heal old wounds, and break free from negative patterns. The medicine acts as a catalyst for personal transformation, helping individuals reconnect with their true selves in a profound way.
