Kambo

Traditional Holistic Medicine from Indigenous Amazonian Tradition

Kambo, (or Sapo or Acate), comes from the secretion of the phyllomedusa bicolor tree frog of the amazon jungle.

Since Kambo’s discovery in the western world, it’s been shown to have incredible effects in helping ailments such as Lyme disease, autoimmune, depression and anxiety, addiction, some cancers, hormonal imbalances, infertility, and gut dysbiosis and more, Traditionally the Matses tribe use it to create strength, agility, and clarity for hunting and also for physical healing and spiritual cleansing.

Kambo is applied directly to the lymphatic system through small superficial burns made to the outer layer of the skin.

Kambo’s healing properties are connected to an intense but short purge to detox from toxins and negative energies.

Within its secretion are 16 bioactive peptides which enter the bloodstream and seek out receptor sites in the cells of multiple organ systems including the immune system, digestive system, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, and nervous system.

Kambo is renowned for it’s antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antiviral properties.

Though many labs seek to synthesize it, they can’t recreate the spirit of the frog or the way all of its magical peptides work synergistically with each other to bring you back into balance. Nature knows best.

“It’s not glamorous and it’s physically challenging but receiving Kambo in a supportive environment has shown me how much strength I possess and that I can push myself past my self-imposed limits.”

I sought out Kambo to support healing my autoimmune disorders and support internal healing from trauma and self-doubt. After many sessions, my flare ups are almost gone, my gut health is a lot better, and I’ve been able to make progress on moving through internal blocks that have held me back for years.

What Does Kambo Feel Like?

Each Kambo experience is unique.

No two sessions are alike.

Each frog has different peptide levels and combined with your unique body constitution on a given day, each session’s experience can vary.

Kambo is applied through “gates”; meaning that the top layer of the skin or epidermis will be burned first with a natural incense stick so that a blister will form. Once the Kambo has been applied, it is distributed throughout the body via the lymphatic and circulations systems.

In general, you can expect to feel the effects of the medicine within minutes of application. Most people will feel any or all of these effects, caused by the peptides in the venom: heat, facial swelling, nausea, and rapid heart rate as well as vomiting and defecation. 

For a short while you will experience an elevated body temperature along with increased heart rate, fast dilation of the blood vessels causing a pounding or rushing sensation, slight swelling of the lips, face and tightness in the throat, skin tingling, some dizziness.

Around 80% of people will purge from Kambo in the form of vomiting, sweating, and defecation but purging can also happen as shaking, burping, and/or emotional releases over the course of 20-30 minutes.

The other 20% or so of people can experience longer or shorter sessions of more or less intensity and a small percentage may not vomit at all but can still receive benefits from Kambo.

What Does A Kambo Session Look Like?

Kambo sessions are 2 hours long.

We will begin by smudging ourselves with sage and taking some time to connect around your intentions, answer questions, and decide on where you want the gates/dots. You will have the option to use Sananga eye drops before Kambo at no extra charge.

(Please see FAQ’s to learn about Sananga and Hapé).

While I prepare the medicine, you will drink 1-1.5 liters of water until you get a feeling of fullness or nausea. I will first apply a test dot depending on your experience with Kambo (or if it’s your first time), and seeing how you respond before applying more.

We will stay in communication throughout so I can support your experience appropriately.

I may ask you to drink more water, smell palo santo, or serve you Hape, to help induce a purge should you feel stuck or need support.

When you feel complete we will remove the medicine and you will enjoy some well deserved rest.

As you rest I will offer you some gentle Polarity Therapy to further support you as you begin to ground in your process and integrate any insights you received.
