Kambo Medicine
The indigenous tribes of the Amazon have used Kambo, a potent frog medicine, for centuries.
During a Kambo ceremony, a facilitator applies the frog secretion to small burns on the skin, which contains peptides and amino acids with potent healing properties.
Kambo’s effects are almost immediate, resulting in increased energy and mental clarity. It also has physical benefits, such as stimulating the immune system, treating chronic pain and inflammation.
Kambo can also help individuals connect with their inner selves, leading to emotional and spiritual purification.
