Kambo
Kambo (Vaccine of the Jungle)
Kambo is the name of a secretion from the Giant Green Monkey Tree Frog. Its scientific name is Phyllomedusa Bicolour. Kambo has been used for centuries by Native Amazonian tribes to enhance their hunting skills: by increasing stamina and speed, sharpening mental and sensory focus and by removing dark energy or bad luck.
Kambo is used in the jungle against Malaria, snake bites, fever, infections and fertility problems. It purifies, detoxifies and strengthens both body and mind. It reduces pain and strengthens life force and resistance.
An Italian scientist, Vittorio Erspamer of the University of Rome was the first person to analyze Kambo in a laboratory. In 1986, he wrote that it contains a ‘fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications, unequalled by any other amphibian’. The chemicals he referred to are called peptides (a short chain of amino acids linked by chemical bonds). Peptides help the body by reducing inflammation, improving immune function, and preventing the formation of blood clots. They can also lower blood pressure and kill microbes.
In the Western world, only certain peptides contained in Kambo have been the subject of extensive research for over 20 years. Unfortunately, more research is needed to substantiate the benefits of the complete Kambo cocktail. The popularity and use of Kambo as a natural support to healing is spreading worldwide, but one must remember that Kambo is a Traditional Indigenous Medicine and with it comes a lot of wisdom and mystery. A healing will be more profound if a client is truly open to receiving the healing. This includes a trust in Ancestral Knowledge of Indigenous communities; a willingness to make lifestyle changes to prevent further injury; the ability to sit through and welcome the discomfort of the healing process and an overall commitment to understanding how the condition came to be. Facilitators and users alike, believe that the Phyllomedusa Bicolor could open new treatments for many ailments affecting the population.

Physical Aspect
Kambo boosts the immune system, stimulates the lymphatic system, nurtures the nervous system and restores balance to the endocrine system. It simultaneously unleashes a detox, anti-inflammatory and analgesic process. It releases toxins stuck in the body, cleaning the liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, intestines and glands. It stops degenerative and/or inflammatory processes and favours cellular regeneration.
Emotional Aspect
Traumatic events leave a mark on the organs and blood. Unprocessed emotions and unresolved conflict get ‘stuck’ in the body, over time leading to disease. Kambo clears out the
subtle energies lodged in the organs and blood (often manifesting as tumours, cysts, mucus, etc). This removal process can cause an emotional release, bringing conflicts to the surface. With the help of Kambo, people have been freed from years of pain, recovering a forgotten sense of peace.
Mental Aspect
Due to the immense emotional and physical release, the brain’s responses change. This opens up a window for reprogramming of mental patterns, rooted ideas and self-destructive thought
structures. Kambo offers a deep cleansing of the energetic field and improves mental clarity, focus and awareness, encouraging a sense of strength and motivation. People often experience massive energetic shifts in their lives and dramatic improvements to their physical health.
Extraction
Kambo is not a poison as is commonly believed, but rather a secretion used by the frog for protection. The frog is found in the upper Amazon Rainforest where it is caught by imitating its
lure call. The animal is then fixed and stimulated with caution and respect, after which the secretion is collected on a wooden board and dried. The frog is returned to its natural habitat and not harvested again for 2 to 3 months, leaving it with enough venom to protect itself.
