More about Kambo

Kambo is a powerful traditional medicine derived from the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor (Giant Monkey Tree Frog), native to the Amazon rainforest. Used for centuries by indigenous tribes such as the Matsés and Katukina, Kambo is regarded as both a physical and spiritual cleanser — a potent ally in detoxification, energetic clearing, and immune system support.

In the Amazon, it is known as “Hunting Magic,” used by warriors to enhance strength, focus, and resilience. Today, Kambo is emerging as a respected alternative therapy in the West, supporting deep inner work, detoxification, and holistic healing.

The medicine is first dried onto a wooden stick and then rehydrated with water or saliva. Once prepared, small superficial burns are made on the skin to gently expose the dermis. The medicine is applied directly onto these points, where it enters the lymphatic system and bloodstream almost immediately.

Within 30–60 seconds, you may feel a warm wave moving through your body, often accompanied by a racing heartbeat, facial flushing, and slight swelling in the throat or lips. These are normal, temporary effects as the body begins to respond to the medicine.

Kambo initiates a powerful purge — a release of physical, emotional, and energetic toxins. This may include:

• Nausea and vomiting
   
• Sweating and chills
   
• Crying or emotional release
   
• Diarrhea or urination
   
• Deep respiratory clearing or yawning
   

This process is not considered “getting sick,” but rather getting well — an intense but short-lived reaction that typically lasts 10 to 30 minutes. Afterward, many people report a profound sense of relief, mental clarity, and emotional lightness.

Following your session, it’s important to rest and hydrate, allowing your body and mind to process the experience. While the peak effects fade quickly, the internal shifts can unfold over hours or days.

We recommend allowing at least 2 hours post-treatment for integration and reflection.

Traditionally, Kambo is used to:

• Increase strength, stamina, and sensory awareness
   
• Suppress hunger and thirst during long hunts
   
• Remove “panema” — a spiritual or energetic heaviness or blockage
   

In modern practice, Kambo may support:

• Liver and kidney detoxification
   
• Immune system regulation
   
• Clearing of depression, anxiety, or emotional trauma
   
• Support with addiction or chronic fatigue
   
• Energetic clearing and spiritual grounding
   

⚠️ Kambo is not a cure. It is a tool to help the body restore balance and activate its natural healing intelligence.

Kambo is not for everyone and should only be administered by a trained and certified practitioner. A proper session includes:

• A thorough health screening
   
• Instructions on fasting and preparation
   
• Monitoring during and after the application
   
• A safe, supportive environment for your process
   

Kambo is contraindicated for individuals with heart conditions, low blood pressure, epilepsy, mental health disorders (such as schizophrenia or bipolar), and pregnant or nursing women. Always consult a qualified practitioner and disclose any health concerns.

If you feel called to explore Kambo, I invite you to reach out with questions or to schedule a consultation. This is a deeply personal and sacred process, and it is my honour to support you on your journey with care, safety, and integrity.

 NüNü comes from the Matses tribe, it is a sister medicine to Kambo and a visionary snuff used to ground, aid in focus, clarity, and for the Matses in their hunt to connect with the spirits of the animals and the jungle. It is a very special and potent medicine made from Mapacho leaves (tobacco) and combined with ashes of the Mocambo tree bark (Cacao) which are toasted, crushed, and finely powdered. Other Rapé varieties are available which also come from different tribes of the Amazon, each having its use and benefit during the ceremony.
