Kambo refers to a medicinal, protective secretion from the skin of the waxy-monkey treefrog, scientifically known as phyllomedusa bicolor. The frog is native to the Amazon Basin, which includes parts of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. The IUCN endangered species database lists them in the "Least Concern" category because of their current wide distribution and large population.
The Kambo healing practice has only been observed among the Panoan-speaking tribes of the Amazon. While each tribe has its own name for the medicine, “kambo” has become the most widely used name outside of the Amazon.
Indigenous communities of the Amazon believe that spiritual harmony is paramount and that it can only be preserved by treating all life with respect. Therefore, when Kambo is harvested, the frog is treated with care, and afterward, is released unharmed back into the trees.
The Kambo healing practice is a powerful and ancient, holistic healing practice developed by Indigenous tribes of the Amazon Rainforest. The practice is based on an energetic connection with the origins of the medicine, a knowledge of a precise method of application, and the skill to work with the medicine under various conditions. The first use of the medicine is lost in history, but folk myths remain that recount the origin of its discovery. It has been used for many generations with great success and continues to be a significant healing practice among some Amazonian tribes. It is considered a sacred medicine because it comes from nature, which itself is regarded as sacred.
In the tradition of the Amazonian people, the medicine is prescribed for various ailments. The three main purposes are: to remove bad luck - remove negative, depressive energy, eliminate sluggishness, open up life's path, and usher in good luck; to become exceptionally healthy - heighten the senses, clear and focus the mind, enhance awareness, reduce pain, improve circulation, and increase energy and speed; and to treat illness - boost the immune system, fight infections, kill bacteria, eliminate viruses, and detoxify.
Outside of the forest, Kambo has been the subject of more than three decades of medical research. It has been found to be one of the strongest natural anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antimicrobial and anesthetic substances in the world and one of the strongest, natural ways to empower the immune system and detox the liver and intestines.
As with venom from snakes and scorpions, researchers believe that Kambo could lead to treatments for Lyme Disease, Herpes, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Pain, Cancer, HIV, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, Depression, Vascular problems, Hepatitis, Diabetes, Arthritis, addictions and more.

Final Notes
Kambo is not a targeted allopathic drug used to fight a particular problem in the body. Specific results cannot be guaranteed. Rather, Kambo is a universally cleansing energy that is holistic in nature, addressing the whole body at once. Furthermore, Kambo serves to restore the natural, intelligent function of the body. Once Kambo has activated the inherent intelligence in the body, it is the body itself that performs the healing. In other words, the client and I work together to allow the client's own inner healing response to emerge. Kambo helps restore the natural capacity for self-healing.
Kambo is not a hallucinogenic.
The use of Kambo is legal in the United States
Kambo Treatment Protocols
General Protocol Guidelines
When you receive a Kambo treatment it is highly recommended that you take the rest of the day off to rest and follow the needs of your body. Avoid stress, demands, chaotic spaces, and any conditions that require a great deal of your responsibility. It is natural to rest immediately following your treatment. But some people need the entire rest of the day to relax or sleep. Since there is no way to know how much rest you will need, it is best to clear the rest of the day so that you can follow the needs of your body.
Immediately following your treatment, it is recommended that you nourish your body with a light, vegan meal. In the evening, you can enjoy a full meal. It is important to get a good night’s rest. It is optimal to sleep as much as your body needs. If you suffer from acute or chronic health conditions, it is best to clear the next day so that you can continue to rest as needed.
As with any healing process, it is best to complement your healing process with supportive practices that you enjoy, this may include yoga, meditation, journaling, exercise, time in nature, time with friends, etc. The results of Kambo will continue to unfold. You can support this process with these and other complementary practices.
You may receive multiple application of Kambo throughout the year. Some people are satisfied with one treatment, while others feel the need for many. If you are not suffering from acute or chronic health conditions, it is best to limit treatment to 12 a year. If you are suffering from acute or chronic health conditions, you may exceed this number.
Single Treatment
A single treatment of Kambo is a powerful experience and assists in achieving optimal health. Because Kambo is a unique and powerful medicine, when you are new to Kambo, it is natural to simply focus on receiving your first treatment before considering more. However, some people, for various reasons, including chronic health conditions, may intuitively know that they are ready for a more intensive protocol or numerous treatments and sign up for multiple treatments from the beginning.
Multiple Treatments
For maximum benefit, three treatments within one month are recommended.
The more Kambo medicine taken over a short period of time, the deeper the medicine can detox the body, empower the immune system, and restore the natural wellness of the mind and body.
Multiple treatments are especially recommended for:
- Acute health conditions
- Addiction
- Chronic health conditions
- Deep spiritual work
- Life changes
- Personal initiation
The recommended protocol is three treatments within one month or six treatments within six weeks. Treatments can be scheduled with days of each other. Precise protocols will be determined individually and will depend on your overall health and life schedule.
If you would like to receive multiple treatments, let me know at the time of registration.
Treatment Types
1. Double Treatment: two treatments within the same ceremony.
This is a very intensive experience that requires additional treatment time and rest time. It is recommended that you clear your following day to have ample space to rest and follow the needs of your body.
2. The Traditional Three: three treatments within one moon cycle (one month).
This is an optimal way to work with Kambo so that it can progressively detox at deep level. Treatments can be spread out as you see fit, and as determined by your health and schedule.
3. The Three-by-Three: three treatments within three hours.
This is the most intensive way to work with Kambo. This protocol requires additional treatment time and rest time. It is highly recommended that you clear your following day to have ample space to rest and follow the needs of your body. This treatment is not available to first-timers and can only be scheduled as a private appointment.
