What is Kambo?

​​
Kambo is recognised as one of the strongest natural anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antimicrobial, and anesthetic substances known to man. It's a highly effective way to strengthen the immune system. It also detoxifies the liver, gall bladder and intestines. Immediate effects include enhanced mood, alertness, clarity, focus, energy and increased resistance to stress, tiredness, hunger and thirst. 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.

Kambo helps us to overcome obstacles and realize our full potential.Since emerging from the amazon , athletes have also found Kambo can aid & optimise performance.

Kambo is referred to by the indigenous peoples as "the vaccine of the forest" for its ability to heal a wide range of illnesses covering all aspects of the human condition. It is also commonly used before a hunt to sharpen the senses.

Kambo works swiftly to remove any of the negative physical, mental, or emotional blockages that hold you back from living a healthy, peaceful, and balanced life. The Kambo experience can be a rebirth - a step outside the comfort zone to discover a new understanding of self, a deeper sense of well-being, alertness and clarity


Background

History

Kambo is the term used for the waxy secretion of the Giant Monkey tree Frog which comes from the rainforest of the Upper Amazon. Scientifically named Phyllomedusa Bicolor - Phyllo meaning 'leaf' and medusa meaning 'guardian'. 

It has been intensively used as a medicine throughout the amazon for thousands of years by indigenous groups such as the Amahuaca, Katukina, Kulina, Yawanawa, Matses, Marubo, Nukini an Mayoruna.

Kambo is traditionally collected by the Indigenous people of the Amazon, who sing the frogs down from the tree tops using imitation calls, and carefully scrape off the secretion onto small sticks and dried ready for use in the treatment process. The frogs are never harmed but treated with the utmost care and respect as to keep a healthy relationship with the animal spirits they live with. Kambo collected in this way is considered 100% ethically harvested.

 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 Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Pain, Cancer, HIV, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, Depression, Vascular problems, Hepatitis, Diabetes, Rheumatism, Arthritis, Addictions and much, much more.     


​Traditionally, Kambo, also known as Sapo, was used in thre ways. First to cleanse, stregthen and energise the minds and bodies of hunters. This allowed them to eat less, sleep less, run faster for longer with the belief they were invisable to animals, as kambo removes the human scent for a period of time.​​​​​

Secondly it has been used for aiding recovery of Malaria, fever, infections and snake bites. Thirdly, its is used to clear away dark or negative energy known as ' Panema'. When Panema is cleared, everything becomes easier, allowing the ease of overcoming obstacles, opening up the natural flows of life.

Although many trives throughout the amazon lay claim to the origins of the initial use of Kambo, the most prevalent legend comes from Brazil

The kaxinawa say a powerful shaman named Kampum learned of the healing properties of the Giant Monkey Tree Frog when on a spirit quest in the jungle. At that time , the tribe needed healing, so Kampum was gifted this knowledge from the jungle plants to heal his people. Upon his death it is said he became a frog, and his spirit lives on.
