What is kambo therapy?
A powerful detoxification treatment using the sacred secretion of the Amazonian giant monkey tree frog.

The history of Kambo
Giant Monkey Tree Frog | Giant Leaf Frog | Tree Frog | Sapo | Vacina do Sapo | Phyllomedusa Bicolor (Phyllo = 'leaf' | Medusa = 'guardian') | Medicine da Floresta
What it is
Kambo is the secretion of the Giant Spider Monkey Tree Frogs that live in the upper areas of the Amazon. They are also found in Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil, Suriname, French Guiana, and Venezuela. The Kambo frogs are noctural and arboreal with very few predators. The International Union for Conservation of Nature database lists them in the ‘Least Concern’ category because of their wide distribution and large population.
Kambo frogs can be found in abundance, the only threat relating to the destruction of the rainforest. Kambo medicine is legal all over the world. We source our medicine from the Matses tribe in the Peru-Brazil frontier in the Amazon Rainforest. The frogs are rarely harmed as they are treated with the utmost care and respect. Proper harvesting and ethical sourcing is of utmost importance. I choose to work with tribes that love, care for, and respect the frogs.
Kambo has been used by many indigenous groups - Amahuaca, Katukina, Kulina, Yawanawa, Marubo, Nikini, Mayoruna, as well as the Matses.
where it came from
Throughout centuries, the secretion has been found to provide healing powers and shifts in the energetic body as well as the unwinding of karmic patterns that block us from fulfilling our individual blueprint here on Earth. Tribes have used it to medicinally treat malaria, snake bites, fevers, infections, fertility problems, as a cleanse, detox and to strengthen the mind and body, to increase energy, sexual attraction and stamina, and to reduce pain.
Kambo was only brought to the western world in the last 100 years, where it is considered a detox and cleanse of the physical body. Outside of the forest, Kambo has been the subject of more than two decades of medical research. As with venoms from snakes and scorpions, researchers believe that Kambo will open up a new world of treatments for Emotional Trauma, Chronic Pain, HIV, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Herpes, Cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, Hepatitis, MS, Depression, Diabetes, Blood Pressure and Thyroid Issues, Rheumatism, Arthritis, Lyme’s Disease, Addictions and more.
The science behind the therapy
Researchers have been attempting to identify, isolate and reproduce the unique chemical cocktail of Kambo. It contains dozens of Peptides (short chains of amino acids), some of them bioactive, which means they have an affinity and selectivity for binding with receptor sites in humans. Think of receptor like a lock that when opened with the right key (the bioactive peptide) triggers a specific chemical reaction in the body. Our bodies love them.
These peptides also act as adaptogens, which means that they go where your receptor sites need them and do not go where unneeded. Recent studies have shown that Kambo contains multiple antimicrobial peptides effective against drug resistant strains of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasites and viruses. This is very promising for modern medicine in the development of more therapies for treating infectious disease. For those of you who want to do more research, the peptide families represented in Kambo include caerulein, tryptophyllins, sauvagine, bradykinins (phyllokinin), tachykinins (phyllomedusin), deltorphins, dermorphins and bombesins.
the benefits
Immediate and short-term effects of Kambo therapy include enhanced mood, clarity, alertness, focus, energy and increased resistance to stress, fatigue, hunger and thirst. There is more stillness in the mind, you feel lighter and manage life with more ease. Long term effects include an immune system reboot. Kambo empowers the immune system to return to its natural functioning. Health issues or existing health conditions improve, resolve, or are less likely to occur.
In spiritual terms, Kambo works in a mystical fashion as a light that opens the way aiding us to release blockages and overcome obstacles on an emotional level. It clears our energy field (aura) and realigns the chakras enabling us to break subconscious thought forms & negative patterns that are not serving us in order to live with more neutrality and a positive outlook. It guides us to act with intention, elevate our thoughts, and act with mindful behavior.
Kambo provides emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical benefits supporting us to find stamina, strength, and resilience to power through life’s greatest challenges.
Working with this medicine is such a gift for humanity. I am a forever humble student of this sacred medicine and hold reverence for the spirit of Kambo.
I was certified as a Level 1 Practitioner by Cosmovisions in December 2022 followed by Advanced Practitioner Training in November 2023.
In May 2024 I ventured into the jungle for a 2 week adventure alongside two different tribes to experience Kambo through the lens of the indigenous. This experience was the most beautiful, challenging, and humbling experience and I look forward to many more.
I am dedicated to my education and continued growth alongside Kambo and hold this medicine with the utmost respect and consideration.

The use of Kambo differs amongst tribes but the main indigenous uses revolve around lifting panema, an indigenous name for dark or negative energy (bad luck). It is said that when ‘panema’ is warded away, the path to overcoming obstacles is revealed and life flows more naturally. It was also commonly used for Hunting Magic – they believe it increases their speed and energy during hunting and that it makes the hunter invisible by temporarily eliminating their human odor. They can run faster, longer and eat and sleep less for a period of time.
There are many ways they use it medicinally too, including:
malaria, snake bites, fevers, infections, fertility problems, to cleanse, detox and strengthen the mind and body, to increase energy, sexual attraction and stamina and to reduce pain.

Several years of research by the University of Paris have shown Kambô to be super effective at killing cancer cells and Queens University in Belfast recently won a prestigious award for their ground breaking work with cancer and Kambo.
Kambo is one of the strongest natural anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antimicrobial and anesthetic substances found in the world and one of the strongest, natural ways to strengthen the immune system. It is 30-40 times stronger than morphine in its pain-killing properties. It also detoxes the liver and the intestines so it’s a powerful cleanser.
Immediate and short-term effects include enhanced mood, alertness, clarity, focus, energy and increased resistance to stress, tiredness, hunger and thirst. The mind becomes still, you feel lighter and everything becomes easier to manage. In the longer term, Kambo empowers the immune system, rousing the body’s defense systems to their natural functions so that existing health problems are improved or resolved and future ones are less likely to occur.

Despite the billions of pounds/euros and dollars being poured into researching and developing mainstream synthetic medication from Phyllomedusa Bicolor frog secretions, no one has yet managed to reproduce the original. The frog is unable to be grown in a lab, it needs its natural habitat and diet in order to live. Kambo in its original, natural form is a holistic treatment that works on the mind, body, energy and spirit at all levels in sometimes mystical ways. The Native Amazonians are quite apropos to use the word “magic” when describing this substance. The medicine is highly intelligent and contains a higher intelligence to work with the body in a unique way, knowing where it needs to go and do its work. Along with this acknowledgment of a higher intelligence, it seems that Kambo and other plant + animal medicines have decided to come out of the jungle with a desire to spread. The intention seems to be so that more and more people can benefit, healing their body, mind, and spirit as higher consciousness is requested here on this planet and more specifically in the western world. -
