What is Kambo?

  Kambo is the waxy secretion of a tree frog living in the northwestern part of the Amazon rainforest. The scientific name for this frog is ‘Phyllomedusa bicolor’ or ‘Giant Monkey Frog’. It has traditionally been used by indigenous people to get rid of ‘panema’ or bad luck, which allows life to become easier and flow more effortlessly, as well as for ‘hunting magic’.

  Kambo was used for hunting prowess and to cleanse, strengthen and energize the minds and bodies of tribal hunters.  Kambo enabled them to have increased speed and stamina, eat less and sleep less during the hunt.   It has also traditionally been used by indigenous people as medicine to treat snake bites, malaria, yellow fever and other epidemic diseases.Tribes of the Amazon often refer to Kambo as "Hunting Magic" as it strengthens the physical body and the mind. Kambo brings energy and stamina into the body and sharpens the senses. It makes the mind still and allows one to think clearly. The small things that bother us daily do not seem to be as significant following a Kambo session, allowing one to focus on the things that truly matter in life.
