Awaken Your Body’s Intelligence with Nature’s Sacred Medicine

What is Kambo?

Kambo is a traditional Amazonian healing ritual that uses the powerful secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog , also known as the Giant Monkey Tree Frog ( kambo, sapo) to cleanse the body, boost the immune system, restore balance, and promote deep physical, emotional, and energetic healing.

Used for centuries by tribes such as the Matsés, Katukina, and Yawanawá, Kambo is considered sacred medicine and is traditionally used for purification, strength, clearing “panema” (bad luck or dark energy), and preparing hunters for peak performance. Known in Portuguese as the ‘vaccine of the forest’, it has also gained renown outside the Amazon as a powerful treatment for chronic pain and drug addiction.

How It Works

Kambo is applied through small, superficial burns made on the skin. Once the secretion is placed on the open points, it rapidly enters the lymphatic system and bloodstream, activating a powerful detox and healing response.

The process typically lasts 15–40 minutes, during which the body may experience a temporary intense physical reaction — such as heat, nausea, purging (vomiting or sweating), and emotional release — followed by a period of clarity, lightness, and rejuvenation.

Kambo contains a complex cocktail of bioactive peptides, each with unique properties that interact with the human body at a cellular level:

Phyllomedusin – Vasodilator; promotes blood circulation

Phyllokinin– Reduces blood pressure and enhances permeability of the blood-brain barrier

Demorphin & Deltorphin– Potent opioid peptides; pain relief, mood elevation

Adenoregulin– Modulates cellular metabolism and communication

Caeruelin & Sauvagine– Support digestion, stimulate adrenal glands

Bombesin– Regulate gastrointestinal and endocrine functions

These peptides interact with the endocrine, immune, and nervous systems, helping the body return to its natural intelligence and optimal performance.

Benefits

While Kambo is not a cure-all, many people report significant improvements in:
