WHAT TO EXPECT

WHAT IS KAMBO?

Kambo is a traditional Amazonian medicine that involves the administration of the secretions of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog onto the skin. The frog is known as the "giant leaf frog" and is native to the Amazon rainforest. Kambo has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes such as the Kaxinawa, Amahuaca, Katakana, Kulina, Yawanawa, Matses, Marubo, Nukini, and the Mayoruna, for its purported healing properties.

The science behind kambo is still being studied, but it is known to contain a number of biologically active peptides, including dermaseptin, phyllomedusin, and phyllokinin. These peptides are believed to have a range of health benefits, including pain relief, immune system stimulation, and detoxification.

Kambo is administered through superficial burns on the skin, which are made using an incense stick or vine. The frog secretion is then applied to the burns, and the resulting reaction can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, an increased heart rate, sweating, lightheadedness, etc. Some people also report a feeling of euphoria or heightened awareness.

The benefits of kambo are continuously being studied, but proponents of the practice believe that it can be used to treat a range of conditions, including chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and addiction. Some also believe that kambo can help to boost the immune system and improve overall health and well-being.

HAPE

Hape is a sacred shamanic snuff that will be offered in your Kambo Ceremony. If used while in Kambo, it is to help clear a blockage or bring on a purge. It is solely your choice if you would like to be served Hape, and we will always ask beforehand.

SANANGA

Sananga is an amazonian eye medicine used on a physical, spiritual, and energetic level. It helps to clear Panama (negative energy) depression, sinusitis, eye infections, and much more. Hunters used this in the forest to have a clearer vision. It can also open up the third eye, clean and expand the aura and balance the chakras.
