Kambo derives from the secretion of the Amazonian giant waxy tree frog (Phyllomedusa Bicolor). This secretion contains a unique and complex cocktail of bioactive peptides, offering profound benefits for the body, mind, and energy field.
Italian pharmacologist Vittorio Erspamer, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, was the first scientist to analyze Kambo in a laboratory. He described it as a “fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications unmatched by any other amphibian.”
The Benefits of Kambo
The bioactive peptides and neuropeptides found in Kambo are known for their health-promoting properties, influencing multiple physiological and energetic systems:
• Gastrointestinal system: Supports digestion, metabolism, and appetite regulation
• Cardiovascular system: Contains antihypertensive, anti-thrombotic, and cholesterol-lowering peptides
• Immune system: Features antimicrobial and immune-modulatory properties
• Nervous system: Includes anti-inflammatory peptides that support cognitive and emotional well-being
• Energetic system: Clears stagnant energy, emotional blockages, and toxic imprints stored in the body
Kambo as “Hunting Magic”
Amazonian tribes refer to Kambo as “Hunting Magic” due to its ability to strengthen both the body and mind. It enhances energy, stamina, and mental clarity, allowing one to move through life with greater focus and resilience.
Energetic & Spiritual Benefits of Kambo
Beyond its physical effects, Kambo is a powerful energetic cleanser. It works deeply to:
• Release dense emotional energy stored in the body
• Clear auric and energetic blockages that weigh down the spirit
• Support deep emotional and ancestral healing
• Align you with higher states of clarity, intuition, and vitality
• Restore balance between the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies
Many find that after a Kambo session, the small stresses of daily life fade, making room for a deeper connection to purpose, inner truth, and self-empowerment.
Kambo is applied safely through small blister points on the skin, known as “gates.” These superficial burns remove only the outermost layer of the epidermis, creating an entry point for the secretion to be absorbed into the body. Typically, 3-5 gates are opened for an introductory session.
Before the application, the client drinks approximately ½ liter of water to support the process. Once the Kambo is placed on the gates, its effects begin quickly and intensely but last only 20-25 minutes.
What to Expect During a Kambo Session
Within 30 seconds to a minute, the body responds with a warm, flushing sensation that spreads throughout. The heart rate slightly increases, often accompanied by a light throbbing in the head. Other common sensations include:
• Mild numbness or tingling in the lips, ears, and tongue
• Dizziness or light-headedness, lasting about 5-7 minutes
• Flu-like symptoms (mild weakness, body aches, or nausea) for 10-15 minutes
While purging may occur, it is not required to receive the full benefits of Kambo. It is simply a natural pharmacological response that some experience. Unlike the dramatic portrayals seen in sensationalized videos, the purge—if it happens—is usually smooth and gentle, thanks to the water consumed beforehand.
As the process unfolds, the flu-like symptoms fade rapidly, leaving the client in a state of deep relaxation and even euphoria. After 30-45 minutes of rest, energy naturally returns, and most people feel clear, grounded, and ready to continue their day.
Post-Session Effects
The true benefits of Kambo continue to unfold in the hours, days, and even weeks following the session. Many report enhanced clarity, vitality, emotional release, and a deeper sense of alignment in the days to come.
