Kambo Therapy, A Natural Approach to Cleansing and Rejuvenation

Kambo therapy is a traditional healing ritual originating in the Amazon rainforest. It utilizes the secretions of the giant monkey frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor) as a way to cleanse the body and promote well-being.

Kambo treatment is one of the most extraordinary natural healing tools available to us. It is a resinous secretion from one of the largest Hylid frogs known as the Giant Waxy Monkey Tree Frog, scientifically known as Phyllomedusa Bicolor.

Its secretion is not a sweat nor a poison in the sense that it alone is not capable of causing death or illness. The secretion is also called Sapo, Dow-kiet, Hunting magic, Ordeal medicine, “Vaccine of the forest” or “Guardian of the Leaf”. Amazonian tribes take Kambô before hunting to ensure greater success.

It heightens their senses, strengthens and energizes, allowing hunters to run faster with more stamina, without needing as much food, water, or sleep. It’s frequently used as a jungle medicine to treat snake bites, malaria, infections, and fever. The results range from nothing visible to miraculous. The modality will go where it’s needed, and you get what you need that exceeds your expectations.

Over the course of three decades, scientists have shown that the Kambo secretion contains a unique and highly complex chemical cocktail of bio-active peptides beneficial to the human body.

The Kambo Experience

A kambo session involves applying the dried secretion from the frog to small gates or burns created on the skin. This allows the kambo to enter the body and trigger a purging process. Common effects include nausea, vomiting, sweating, and diarrhea. These effects typically subside within 30 minutes.

Kambo therapy can offer various benefits, including:

Detoxification
Pain Relief
Mental Clarity
Emotional Release and More

What Happens During a Kambo Session

Kambo is intense, powerful, and quick. The unpleasant effects are strong and immediate but over within 20 – 40 minutes.
The top thin layer of skin is blistered with a hot incense that is about 1-2mm in size (very small) and the skin is peeled to expose the epidermis underneath, similar to a small blister when the skin rubs off, there is no blood.

The position and number of the points, we refer to as “gates”, vary depending on your needs. We can do a traditional session where the medicine can be placed on your arms, legs, or back or we can do specialized treatments on the meridians and chakras of the body to focus on specific organs for a specific result.
At this time you will be given water to drink. When you have consumed the correct amount of water guided by me, the dried Kambo is mixed with a small amount of water and divided into small dots and placed on your gates.

Precautions and Contraindications!

FAQ

The number of sessions largely depends on your overall goals and health. For example, if you are trying to get relief from depression, or to release emotional trauma, it’s recommended to do 3 sessions for best results, but some do it once and never do it again. It really is up to the individual. We can spread the sessions to be once a day for three days or over a few weeks, depending on your readiness and needs.
Every Kambô session is different. I recommend that you give yourself the time to integrate our session and rest after.
Please wear comfortable clothes and bring an extra pair. We want you to feel comfortable with what you are wearing so that you can just focus on your Kambô journey. Please note that in Kambo sessions we do not touch or place any points on your head, face or private parts. All other body areas may be used but these will be agreed between yourself and I, before your gates are burned.
Kambô enters through the lymphatic system so there is no blood involved, because it does not enter the bloodstream.
Depending on your skin and location of the points generally the points slowly fade over time. It may take three-six months, or a year or it may permanently scar. A tree sap called Sangre de Drago or Dragon’s Blood is applied to any skin openings after your session which is a natural antibacterial that promotes healing. It’s nature’s bandage.
Kambô is very safe when given by a properly trained practitioner. However there are some conditions for which Kambô is contraindicated. The list is below but it is not an exhaustive list so it’s important to consult a properly trained and skilled practitioner if you have any concerns. Suitability for Kambô may occasionally depend on the constitution of the person receiving Kambô.
After our consultation, you will be given an electronic intake form to complete that will help us determine if Kambô is safe for your healing needs.
