Kambo Retreats: An Ancient Amazonian Healing Ritual



Unlocking the Potential of Kambo Treatment and Ceremony


Understanding Kambo:

Kambo, hailed as the "vaccine of the Amazon," is a venom secreted by the large monkey frog, scientifically known as Phyllomedusa bicolor. While in the United States, Kambo is considered an alternative medicine, in the heart of the Amazon, it is revered as a living medicine with profound healing properties for chronic and serious illnesses. This large leaf frog's secretion is believed to fortify and heal the mind, body, and spirit.




Bioactive Peptides in Kambo:

Comprising bioactive living peptides, Kambo interacts with the body's receptor sites, mimicking the action of naturally created peptides. Key families of bioactive peptides within Kambo include Phyllomedusin, Dermorphin, Deltorphin, Phyllokinin, Phyllocaerulein, Sauvagine, and Ceruleins. These peptides contribute to various physiological effects, making Kambo a promising treatment for conditions such as depression, migraines, addiction, and more.


The Kambo Ceremony:

The Kambo ceremony involves creating small superficial burns on the skin and applying the venom to these burns. This process allows the venom to be absorbed directly into the lymphatic system, promoting detoxification and immune-boosting effects. The ceremony not only induces physical purging but also aims to eliminate "Panema," or negative energies, offering diverse health benefits such as increased strength and overall well-being.




Preparing the Medication:

Collected early in the morning, the frog's secretion is scraped and applied to a stick to dry. This thick substance forms the Kambo medicine, ready to be utilized in the ceremony.




Effects and Health Benefits:

Undertaking a Kambo treatment can elicit intense immediate effects, including nausea, vomiting, and temperature fluctuations. These effects contribute to a robust reset reaction in the body, aiding in the release of emotional trauma. Kambo's potential health benefits range from pain relief and cleansing neural pathways to treating addiction, bacterial infections, and acting as a potent anti-inflammatory.




Safety Considerations:

While Kambo is generally safe when administered responsibly by a knowledgeable practitioner, certain contraindications must be considered. Conditions such as strokes, serious heart issues, and the use of immune-suppressants are among the factors that deem Kambo unsafe for certain individuals.


Contraindications for Kambo Treatment:


  1. Individuals who have had a stroke.

  2. Those under eighteen (18) years old – applicable in the US.

  3. Individuals with serious heart issues – recommended to start with a very low dose.

  4. Persons on medication for low blood pressure – a strict rule with no exceptions.

  5. Those with a history of brain hemorrhage.

  6. Individuals with glandular disease – advisable to commence with a low dose.

  7. Those with hyponatremia (low blood sodium).

  8. Individuals who have had aneurysms or blood clots.

  9. Persons taking immune-suppressants for organ transplant, arthritis, lupus, etc. – a strict rule with no exceptions.


These contraindications are crucial considerations to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals considering Kambo treatment.



Embracing Kambo as a Healing Ritual:

Increasingly utilized as a shamanistic healing ritual, Kambo ceremony stories abound with anecdotal evidence of reduced chronic pain and improved symptoms in various chronic illnesses. The holistic approach of Kambo, addressing physical, emotional, and energetic levels, opens doors to healing, emotional purging, and a blissful peace that has eluded many.

In the realm of alternative medicine, Kambo stands as a potent ally, offering a unique and transformative journey for those seeking profound healing experiences.
