What is Kambo?

Kambo is a traditional healing practice that uses the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor, also known as the giant monkey tree frog, to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. This practice originates from Indigenous tribes in the Amazon, who view Kambo as both a medicine and a ritual of purification. But what makes Kambo so unique—and powerful—are the bioactive peptides within its secretion, each offering profound effects on the human body and mind.

*Kambo is neither poison nor venom

The peptides in Kambo are natural compounds with specialized roles, like molecular keys unlocking processes in our cells. Imagine your body as a symphony—sometimes, it’s out of tune. Kambo peptides can help reset the orchestra, bringing harmony back to your system.

The Peptides: Nature’s Healing Symphony

1. Phyllocaerulein

This peptide interacts with your body’s digestive and circulatory systems, enhancing bile production and regulating blood pressure. It’s like a reset button for your gut and a gentle nudge toward detoxification. Many people report a sense of deep cleansing after their Kambo session, partly thanks to phyllocaerulein’s role in purging toxins.

2. Dermorphin and Deltorphin

These peptides are potent natural painkillers, much stronger than morphine but without the same risk of addiction. They help relieve physical and emotional pain while fostering a sense of calm and relaxation.

3. Adenoregulin

Working on cellular communication, this peptide interacts with adenosine receptors, which are essential for energy regulation and stress response. It’s like giving your cells a fresh signal to function optimally, helping you feel rejuvenated and balanced.

4. Sauvagine

This peptide plays a role in reducing stress by modulating the adrenal glands and lowering cortisol levels. If life feels overwhelming, sauvagine helps quiet the noise, promoting a state of calm and resilience.

5. Bombesin

Acting like a personal health coach, bombesin supports immune function, stimulates the gut, and even helps regulate metabolism. It’s part of the reason many people feel lighter and more energized after Kambo.

6. Bradykinins

Known for their anti-inflammatory properties, bradykinins can improve circulation and reduce chronic inflammation. This is especially helpful for those dealing with persistent pain or sluggishness.

The Kambo Experience

During a Kambo ceremony, small dots of the frog secretion are applied to tiny burns made on the skin. The peptides enter the bloodstream and lymphatic system, quickly spreading throughout the body. The peptides then race throughout the body, scanning for problems. While the experience can be intense—often involving purging, sweating, and emotional release—the benefits can be transformative. The physical symptoms are all related to the peptides doing their jobs. People often describe feeling clearer, stronger, and more connected to themselves and the world around them after a session.

Kambo isn’t just about physical detoxification; it’s a holistic reset. The peptides work in unison, offering not just relief but an invitation to realign your life. Whether you’re seeking to let go of old patterns, build resilience, or simply feel more vibrant, Kambo can be a powerful ally.

What are peptides? How do they work?

For sake of consistency, let’s continue with the previous analogy:

Peptides are like the conductors of your body’s symphony, guiding each section of the orchestra (your cells) to play in perfect harmony. Made of small chains of amino acids, they give precise instructions that keep your body functioning smoothly.

Imagine your body as a grand symphony orchestra:

• Proteins are the full musical scores—complex and detailed, covering the whole performance.

• Peptides, on the other hand, are the conductors with a laser focus, directing specific sections to come in at the right moment.

Some peptides might gesture to the violins, saying, “Play the melody now!” (stimulate healing or regeneration). Others might signal the brass, “Bring in the power!” (boost energy or immune response). If the percussion section gets too loud (inflammation or pain), a peptide might step in to quiet things down and restore balance.

The peptides found in Kambo are like guest conductors, arriving to fine-tune your orchestra. They reset your rhythm, clear out dissonance (toxins and blockages), and help your body play its natural symphony with greater clarity and flow.

In short, peptides orchestrate the harmony that keeps you healthy, vibrant, and in tune with life.

 FAQs

  • Kambo is generally safe. Kambo is not venom, nor is it a poison.

    Kambo is a natural cocktail of bioactive peptides. Period.

    There are a few things that will disqualify an individual from participating in a Kambo session:

    Pre-Ayahuasca diet

    Active addiction

    Currently on chemotherapy 

    On immunosuppressant medication

    …to name a few. Our waiver has the full list of containdications.

  • It is very important that you arrive on time, or 5 minutes early, to your Kambo session. 

    Plan to be at your Kambo session for approximately a hour. If you have a medical condition, it could take a little longer, like 2 hours.

    When you arrive, we will open the space, go over some questions, and state your intentions (verbally, or to yourself). 

    I will open the gate(s) that the Kambo is applied to. This is done by creating a superficial burn, the diameter of an incense stick (very small), removing the first 2 layers of your skin. This opens it up for the peptides to enter your bloodstream. This is the most effective method of receiving peptides.

    When applying the Kambo, a very small dot will be placed upon your gate(s) for 20 minutes (unless you decide you’d like to remove some or all of them earlier).

    Symptoms will be as follows: 30 seconds to 1 minute, you will begin to feel a warm, flushing sensation in your body, especially in your head. 

    Your heartbeat will begin to quicken from a resting heart rate, to 95-130 beats per minute, which can feel alarming, but it’s the equivalent of light/moderate exercise. It only feels weird because you’re sitting.

    You may experience tingling in your lips, ear, and hands… perhaps a slight numbness in your tongue.

    These symptoms will last between 5-7 minutes.

    The second half, symptoms will change a bit. Your heart rate will lower, to just below baseline, and you may experience mild to moderate flu-like symptoms. For example, you may experience chills, cold sweats, and nausea. At this point, some people purge (vomit, and/or, in some cases, you may need to use the bathroom), which is completely normal. Many experienced individuals look forward to purging. There are spiritual aspects associated with a Kambo purge. It can be a really great feeling, and an amazing release during a session. 

    A purge is NOT necessary, and it is ok if you do not. Kambo is going to gift you its benefits, regardless.

    When the Kambo comes off, any symptoms will begin to dissipate, and you will typically be  back to normal, within 10 minutes.

    Long term (the following day, to weeks+) benefits will vary, and be subjective.


  • The day before, your diet should include things like oatmeal, pasta, sourdough, etc… (It doesn’t matter if the ingredients are, for example, chickpea flour, almond flour, etc., as long as you’re eating some starchy / carby foods.)

    Try to avoid high-fat foods, such as, avocados, olive oil, full fat yogurt, and so on. If you must eat these things, couple them with the listed things that are ok to eat (oatmeal, sourdough, etc.). 

    You will need to fast (eat nothing) for a minimum of 7 hours, but no more than 18 hours, before your scheduled Kambo session. 

    If you are on a no / very low sodium diet, you will need to consume an electrolyte drink, such as liquid IV, through the day leading up to your session.

    2 hours before your Kambo session, you will need to refrain from drinking anything.

    Lastly, spend the morning, before you arrive to your Kambo session, setting intentions, meditating, exercising, or whatever it is you enjoy doing, as long as you’re not scrolling on your phone, or engaging in lower vibrational activities. 

  • This is subjective - it depends on what your goals and purposes are. If you have a bit of annoying back pain, 1-2 sessions may be all you need. Maybe you’ll need to come back once per month, for maintenance.

    There is no single answer. 

    This is something that we will discuss and figure out, based on your needs.

    I will say, if you stick with it long enough, you will see a huge difference in many ways: focus/ability to execute, stamina, strength, and the list goes on

  • Yes. You may. If you choose to bring someone, be sure they’re supportive, and close to you. Someone that you trust, and makes you feel safe…
