• CURIOUS ABOUT KAMBO?

    Kambo is an ancestral medicine used by some of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon: the Mayoruna, Matses, Marubo, Amahuaca, Kashinawa, Katukina, Yawanawá, and the Kaxinawá.

    .

    Kambo refers to the secretion of an arboreal frog called the Phyllomedusa Bicolor which is found numerously throughout a large swath of the Amazonian Rainforest Basin.

    .

    Kambo is revered for its health promoting attributes. Activating both physical and energetic shifts in the body. Many people look to Kambo for help addressing specific ailments & states of dis-ease, while others look to Kambo simply to invigorate and amplify their existent vitality.

    .

    Kambo is not psychoactive or psychedelic (nor is it illegal). It is not traditionally treated as a sacrament, but it is something that we hold sacred. We engage with it in a ceremonial setting which is the meeting point between what intention you bring to the ceremony and whatever Kambo has to offer you as an individual. Though this species of frogs are not endangered and are not done harm in the collecting of their secretion, we still honor this offering as a finite and precious gift from the natural world.

    .

    Kambo is abundant in bio-active peptides and neuropeptides. Peptides are signaling molecules, with a very short half-life, which stimulate all manner of biological processes in the body at a cellular level. The peptide molecules in Kambo are so similar in form and function to naturally occurring peptides in the human body that they are readily absorbed and utilized.

    .

    Kambo can be thought of as a peptide supplement: by supplementing certain peptides, various biological processes are encouraged into a higher level of functioning, or sometimes, when we are imbalanced, simply into what is their natural level of functionality. Either way, most people experience this as deeply positive and transformative.

    .

    The body ultimately knows how to detoxify, heal, and regenerate itself; it has systems beautifully designed to do just that. In a modern world full of toxins, chemicals, and frequencies that can disrupt and disregulate our bodies and minds, Kambo can be a powerful and benevolent companion, aiding our body to come back into harmony and equilibrium. Helping us to experience our optimal Selves.
