Kambo
Vaccine of the Forest
“Boost your immune system”
What is Kambo?
Kambo (Phyllomedusa Bicolor) is a powerful ancient medicine from the Amazon rainforest. For thousands of years, indigenous tribes have used this frog secretion for deep healing and transformation. The medicine contains a unique cocktail of bioactive peptides—similar to those in the human body—that work at a cellular level to cleanse, restore, and rebalance your system.
How Kambo Works
Kambo's peptides open your cells, triggering a deep detoxification process that removes what no longer serves you. This cellular cleansing creates space for renewed energy, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and physical vitality.
Traditional Uses
The Matsés tribe of Peru has long used Kambo for three primary purposes:
● Hunting preparation – To energize, strengthen, and sharpen the mind and body
● Physical healing – To treat infections, fever, malaria, snake bites, and fertility challenges
● Energetic clearing – To remove "Panema" (dark or stagnant energy), allowing life to flow naturally
Modern Applications
Today, many seek Kambo's support for anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain and fatigue, autoimmune conditions, and various other health challenges or difficulties in life. People commonly report:
● Increased energy, vitality & resilience
● Mental clarity and focus
● Emotional strength and empowerment
● Relief from past traumas
● A deeper sense of purpose and connection
● Greater overall balance and wellbeing
Ethical Sourcing
The Kambo frog thrives in the Amazon with few natural predators. The secretion is ethically harvested with deep respect by the Matsés tribe, who maintain a sacred bond with these beings. I'm trained and certified by the IAKP (International Association of Kambo Practitioners), which ensures safe, responsible practice and supports the sustainability and wellbeing of indigenous communities.
What to Expect: The Session
Before (60 minutes)
We begin with a consultation to discuss your intentions, physical concerns, and where on your body the medicine will be applied. If this is your first session, I'll use a test point to ensure your body responds well to the medicine. I'll also cleanse the space with sacred ritual.
Fast for 12 hours before your session so your stomach is empty.
During (40 minutes)
You'll drink 1.5-2 liters of water, then the Kambo is applied through small, carefully prepared points on your skin. As the medicine enters your system, you may experience:
● A quickened heartbeat and warm flushing
● A temporary drop in blood pressure
● A purging process (often through vomiting or bowel movement, sometimes emotional release)
I remain present as your spaceholder—witnessing without judgment, holding the space safely, and offering support with music and gentle guidance. This is your unique process; I'm here to support it.
After (60 minutes)
Rest under a warm blanket in a peaceful environment. This quiet time is often when profound insights and realizations emerge. I'll prepare nourishing soup for you to enjoy as you recover. When you're ready, we'll share your experience and answer any questions.
Integration
To support the medicine's work, I recommend following a simple Kambo diet for at least 7 days:
Reduce sugar and processed foods
Avoid tobacco, alcohol, and other substances
Abstain from sexual activity
Allow the Kambo to gently guide you back into natural flow and attract positive change.
My Training
I'm trained by the IAKP, a non-profit organization dedicated to safe, responsible, and ethical Kambo practice. The IAKP actively supports the health, education, and sustainability of the Matsés communities in Peru who generously share this sacred medicine.
