Kambo (Phyllomedusa bicolor Secretion)

---

 Also known as: Sapo, The Vaccine of the Forest, The Warrior Medicine

Kambo is the traditional name for the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor, also known as the giant monkey tree frog, found in the Amazon rainforest. Indigenous tribes such as the Matsés, Katukina, and Yawanawá have used Kambo for centuries as a cleansing ritual to purify the body, strengthen the spirit, and increase stamina and resilience.

The secretion is applied to small burns on the skin, where it enters the lymphatic system and produces a strong purgative effect. Kambo is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not induce visions or altered consciousness, but it is considered a powerful energetic and physical cleanse.

Ceremonies are conducted with reverence, intention, and grounding support. The experience typically lasts 15–30 minutes, followed by a period of rest, integration, and hydration.

Participants often describe:

• Intense physical purging (vomiting, sweating, defecation)
• A rapid heartbeat or flushing
• A feeling of “reset” or spiritual cleansing after the purge
• Emotional release (crying, shaking, or yawning)
• A strong connection to ancestral or animal energies
• Heightened clarity, focus, or resilience in the days after
   

When administered safely by a trained practitioner, Kambo may support:

• Detoxification of the liver, blood, and digestive system
• Resetting the nervous system
• Relief from chronic fatigue, depression, or emotional heaviness
• Increased energy, focus, and motivation
• Deepened connection with body and intuition
• Clearing psychosomatic stagnation or blockages
• Strengthening the immune system
   

Kambo should never be used by people who:

• Have heart conditions, low blood pressure, or stroke history
• Are taking psychiatric medications or immunosuppressants
• Have a history of seizures or epilepsy
• Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or within 6 weeks postpartum
• Have had a brain aneurysm, organ transplant, or recent surgery
• Are fasting, dehydrated, or physically weakened
  Kambo is intense and must be respected as a medical-grade experience. All participants are screened beforehand and supported closely throughout the process.
   

We offer Kambo in alignment with its traditional use as a sacred cleansing rite. It is not used recreationally or commercially. Each ceremony is grounded in prayer, intention, and safety.

Kambo sessions are conducted in silence to support inner awareness and full presence. Participants are invited to remain quiet and grounded throughout the experience, honoring the intensity and depth of the medicine as it works on physical, emotional, and energetic levels.
