Kambo
What Is Kambo?
Kambo is the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, also known as the Giant Monkey Tree Frog of the Amazon. For thousands of years, Indigenous tribes have used this medicine as a powerful purification and strengthening ritual, known to support physical resilience, emotional cleansing, and spiritual alignment.
Kambo is not a psychedelic — it does not create visions or alter consciousness.
Instead, it works through the body, nervous system, and energetic field, helping clear blockages and stagnation so the mind and spirit can reset.
This is a medicine of purification, discipline, and remembrance — a return to the body, the breath, and one’s inner strength.
Peptides Found in Kambo
Kambo contains a unique cocktail of bioactive peptides — amino-acid chains that communicate directly with receptors in the body. Some of the studied peptides include:
Dermorphin & Deltorphin : Deeply affect opioid receptors; may support mood regulation & pain pathways
Phyllomedusin & Phyllokinin : Expand blood vessels, stimulate circulation & lymphatic flow
Caerulein : Stimulates digestive system, gallbladder & pancreas function
Adenoregulin : May support neural activity, focus & stress response
Dermaseptins : Antimicrobial & immune-supportive peptides
These peptides work quickly — often within minutes — and are metabolized naturally by the body shortly after the session.
Physical Benefits
Individuals commonly share experiences of:
Deep detox and body purification
Increased energy and vitality
Mental clarity and alertness
Enhanced immune and lymphatic response
Improved digestion and gut reset
Nervous system regulation and groundedness
The ceremony stimulates the lymphatic system, which plays a key role in detoxification, immunity, and fluid balance.
Emotional & Spiritual Benefits
Kambo does not take you out of your body.
It brings you deeper into it — into truth, presence, and emotional honesty.
People often experience:
Release of emotional blockages or stuck energy
Increased confidence, strength, and resilience
Letting go of old patterns, fears, or attachments
Heightened intuition and inner clarity
A sense of renewal, gratitude, and self-trust
Spiritually, Kambo acts like a reset — helping you clear what is not yours and return to who you truly are.
The Process
A session typically includes:
Intention-setting
Hape & rounding
Small gates (tiny points) opened on the skin
A small amount of Kambo applied to the points
15–30 minutes of the active purge process
Rest, integration, grounding tea or fruit
The process is done in a safe, supportive ceremonial container with hydration, observation, and guided breath.
Purging vs. Puking — Understanding the Release
Purging is not the same as “puking.”
Puking is the body rejecting something harmful.
Purging is the body + spirit releasing what is no longer needed.
Purging can happen in different ways:
Vomiting
Sweating
Crying
Yawning
Shaking or emotional release
Going to the bathroom
Silent energetic release
It is not about quantity — it is about what leaves.
After the Session — The Kambo Glow
Once the intensity passes, most people enter a state of:
Calm and grounded presence
Lightness in the body
Mental clarity and sharp focus
Emotional peace or relief
Renewed motivation and inspiration
Sense of inner strength and empowerment
This phase is often called the Kambo clarity — a reset where your body, mind, and energy feel aligned again.
It’s common for people to notice:
New patterns emerging
Better decision-making
Inner peace
Strong intuitive guidance
Feeling “clean” from the inside out
The medicine continues working in subtle ways for days to weeks.
A Ceremony of Remembering
Kambo does not give you something you do not already have.
It clears what was blocking your light so you can meet yourself fully again.
It is a warrior’s medicine not because it is hard — but because it asks for courage, presence, and surrender.
And what rises on the other side is truth, clarity, strength, and self-remembering.
