The Magic of Healing with Kambo 
Viva Kambo!

I am honoured to be carrying this truly enchanting gift from nature, not only has Kambo been a catalyst to my personal healing path, I witness this sacred medicine creating great change and healing for others too.
Working with this beautiful medicine both receiving and offering is a path I was called to walk some years ago, committing my time, heart and journey to becoming a practitioner so that I am able to hold and guide others through their healing with Kambo.
I am privileged to have received and undergone extensive training with Lisa Silva the founder of Kambo Tree and Kambo Nadi, mastering these advanced and specialised protocols to deliver Kambo medicine as a safe, conscious and compassionate practice.

Before treatment you will receive a thorough medical and emotional screening to ensure Kambo, Kambo Nadi is right for you, prioritising your safety and well being above all else.
Your treatment will be designed specifically for you, helping you to access deeper emotional, physical and energetic release, a truly transformative and beautiful healing modality. 

What is Kambo ?

Kambo is a sacred and deeply healing indigenous medicine, it is the secretion of the Giant Green Tree Monkey Frog, the Phyllomedusa Bicolor, that we gratefully collect and serve in ceremony, this vibrant frog lives high in the trees of South America's jungles.

This beautiful and intelligent medicine moves through our body on a cellular, energetic, emotional and spiritual level, resetting neural pathways, releasing trapped emotions, trauma and clearing any energy blockages we are holding onto in our physical, spiritual and emotional bodies.
The frogs secretion contains a cocktail of powerful bioactive peptides that benefit our human body in miraculous ways, the neuropeptides and alkaloids, travel around the body and lymphatic system, cleaning out previously stored toxins from the cells.
A medicine for mind, body and soul.

Indigenous, Traditional use,

Indigenous tribes have been using Kambo medicine for many years and for many reasons, known as the vaccine of the forest, tribes traditionally use Kambo to fight disease and illness, as a remedy for snake and other venomous bites, to heal fevers and to increase fertility.

Kambo, also known as Sapo in Spanish or Kampu by the native tribesman collect their medicine by singing the frogs down from the tree canopies on a moon lit evening in traditional, joyful ceremony.
I receive my Kambo directly from a beautiful tribe who honour and celebrate their beloved medicine frogs, gently removing the secretion in an ethical and kind practice before releasing them back into the wild canopies of the jungle.
Kambo is also traditionally used before a hunt and ceremonially as a right of passage for both men and women of the tribe, given before a hunt to the tribesmen it is said to sharpen the senses and increase prowess. 
Spiritually kambo is used to remove ‘panema’, the tribes define this as dark, heavy or negative energies that manifest as sickness, bad luck, depression, laziness and a distracted mind. 
By unblocking and removing ‘panema’, a person is free to live a lighter life with more balance, an abundant life full of good fortune and vitality. 

Modern Medicine for the West

In the Western world more and more people are deciding to work with this amazing medicine. 
Kambo is beginning to be recognised for the many life benefits it brings in all aspects of health, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
As the Western world embraces a new era, shifting the perspective of what healing truly is and opens minds to intelligent sources of medicine, we embrace a more holistic view and are ready to step into an evolved relationship with healing and health.
Outside of the Amazon, Kambo has been the subject of decades of research, studies show us that the secretion (Kambo) from the Phyllomedusa Bicolor Frog could open up a new world of treatments, science is only just beginning to reveal the true potential of Kambo and its powers.

This extensive list is due to Kambo's complex and intelligent 

cocktail of peptides, proteins, and bioactive compounds, there are at present 24 identified peptide compounds as well as steroids, alkaloids and proteins, which is of great interest to pharmaceutical companies.
There are over 70 patents that exist on the peptides Kambo contains, but, despite drug companies attempts to isolate and synthesise versions of these peptides, the frogs naturally occurring peptides are simply far more advanced.

What are Peptides ?

Peptides are chains of amino acids, much like proteins, the difference being the length between the two chains: peptides are short chains and proteins are long chains of amino acids.
They are essential for our overall, general health and cell function.Of the peptides that have been studied more extensively and their properties...

  • Dermaseptins: Antimicrobial peptides effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
    Studies have explored the ability of these peptides to destroy on contact pathogens such as E.coli, salmonella, gonorrhea, herpes viruses, HIV, candida albicans, and even malaria-causing protozoans.

  • Phyllocaerulein: Affects smooth muscles, inducing contraction and providing analgesic effects.
    Stimulating the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland, helping to increase sensory perception and increase physical endurance.
    This peptide along with     Sauvagine both create a drop in blood pleasure and increase in heart rate, along with the stimulation of gastric and pancreatic secretions.
    This combination is what contributes to the feelings of nausea and vomiting  during a Kambo purging ceremony. 

  • Phyllomedusin: A part Tachykinin family, cleansing digestive system and potent vasodilator.
    This peptide stimulates deep cleansing of the whole digestive system, working in synergy with phyllokinin to create the contraction and relaxation of the gut, the creator of the Kambo purge.

  • Phyllokinin: Acts as a bradykinin, influencing blood pressure and causing vasodilation.
    Similar to Phyllomedusin it also acts as a potent vasodilator and causes contraction of the smooth muscle of the gut aiding a release and purge.

  • Dermorphins and Deltorphins: Potent opioid peptides with strong analgesic properties.
    These peptides are of the greatest interest to pharmaceutical companies for their analgesic, pain-blocking properties, having a potency a 1000 times more effective than that of native endorphins and 30-40 times the potency of morphine.
    However, despite their potent opioid receptor activity, neither dermorphin or deltorphins show any evidence of dependence or abuse potential.

 


Kambo Nadi

Kambo medicine is intentionally applied to sacred geometry that is personally designed to your physical, emotional and spiritual needs, re-balancing your body’s energy through the Nadi channels, allowing you to release and let go of all that is no-longer serving you and your body.

The Nadi’s are the vital channels that carry your life force energy, 'Prana' Kambo Nadi treatments focus on deeply on the body’s energetic health and flow, helping to unblock stagnant energy and trauma stored in the body.
Powerful, specialist protocols such as Kambo Nadi can balance, clear and open these vital energetic pathways with transformative, life-changing and long-lasting results.

Kambo Nadi allows you the opportunity and time to release deeply stored trauma, chronic conditions/illness, toxins and intricate wellness concerns using the intelligence of this sacred medicine and the magic of your body combined.
Taking you deeper into your healing journey with Nadi Kambo, a holistic healing treatment that empowers you to rediscover your true essence and inner peace.

The Nadi System

Ancient pathways to vitality and life balance- Ida, Pingala, and Sushuma, carriers of our life force energy, prana.

Ida, The Lunar Nadi line, flowing upwards along the left side of the spine, it is the cooling, calming energies, reminiscent of the moons soothing presence, mirroring the parasympathetic nervous system.
Ida embodies the feminine energy channel, it governs our emotional, intuitive and creative aspects, when in healthy, balanced flow the Ida supports rest and inner exploration.
When activated, Ida stimulates our energy flow to open pathways for emotional expression and deeper connections.
‌
Pingala, The Sola Nadi line, flowing downwards along the right side of the spine, it is the active, dynamic energy reminiscent of the Suns vitality and mirrors the sympathetic nervous system.
Pingala embodies the masculine energy channel, promoting strength, vitality, ambition and our inner motivation, when in healthy balance and flow, the pingala energises the body and supports conscious action in our daily life.

Sushumna, The central pathway to awakening
referred to as the central Nadi, sushumna is the energetic pathway that runs parallel to the spine, intersecting the ida and pingala pathways at each chakra center from root to crown.
The channel for self realisation, healing and awakening, it is the conduit for the rising of kundalini energy, leading to higher states of consciousness and self discovery,
Serving as the central channel for the flow of prana energy, harmoning the Ida and Pingala energies, bringing equilibrium to the feminine and masculine within.
Activation of the Sushamna brings deep mediative healing, clarity and the feelings of oneness.

The Purge 

Our relationship with purging here in the West is one of mixed feelings and contrast, seemingly we are one or the other, fixated on purging our trauma and sins into a bucket or scared and running from it all together!
Traditionally Kambo is served with the intention to purge and cleanse, increasing vitality and spiritual health but there are more reasons than the purge to meet Kambo.

This medicine also offers subtle healing and deep insight into our inner world, as Kambo transcends it's native and indigenous roots and awareness evolves, so does the medicine itself, serving practices and use. 
Kambo ceremony traditionally includes drinking water 1- 2l to aid purging and clearing, we call this a "wet purge" protocol, but, not all can safely purge due all manners of reasons and potential risk, that doesn't mean those individuals are not able to receive the benefits of kambo.
I also offer Kambo as a "dry stack" protocol, this application is longer, less physical and often offers more profound and deeper insights on a spiritual level. During this ceremony there is no water, so as not to induce feelings of nausea and the medicine is applied one point at a time allowing the peptides to enter the lymphatic system slowly, giving the body time to gently purge toxins into the lower intestine. (unable to be reabsorbed and thus, later released)

Both Kambo serving protocols (wet and dry) can be used in a traditional Kambo and Kambo Nadi Ceremony.

Is Kambo Safe ?

Kambo has been used by the people of the forest for hundreds of years, it is known that some have met Kambo more than a hundred times in a lifetime! however, we here in the west do not have the same relationship as the tribes people and must do our research before choosing to work with such a powerful medicine.
Outside of the forests and tribes Kambo is becoming increasingly popular,
this transformative medicine as we see from studies and individual testimonies supports healing on many layers of our being, but, this medicine also commands great respect and must be held by those who are both knowledgeable, trained and have a deep relationship with Kambo.

While widely regarded as safe, Kambo does harbour potential hazards and thus a thorough screening to rule out potential risks is necessary to safeguard those receiving the medicine. 
Though incidences are very rare, safe use of medicines is essential.

Ceremony Flow 

What to expect during your Kambo ceremony and the general flow.
It is important to meet medicine with intention rather than expectation, the rule is...
"We get what we need, Not want we want"
  • We will begin by discussing protocols, safety, expectations and your initial screening form before we begin, assuring that both you feel safe and ready to receive Kambo and so that I myself also feel you are aware, ready and safe to receive the medicine.

  • Opening ceremony space, smudging with sacred smoke to cleanse and clear any stagnant, unwanted energies and prepare for ceremony.

  • Discussing, sharing and setting your intentions for meeting Kambo, what you wish to receive from the medicine and how you would like Kambo to support your healing journey.

  • Invocation and prayer for healing, inviting in the elements, our ancestors and guides to support us during ceremony and the journey ahead.

  • I will offer/invite you to receive Sananga, this beautiful and powerful medicine is delivered as eye drops to clear, ground and open our spiritual sight in preparation to receive Kambo.

  • During ceremony (if needed) I will offer you Rapé
    (pronounced Hapeh), another beautiful and powerful medicine to support with clearing, grounding and energetic blockages, Rapé helps to move you through the purging process.

Opening the gates:
  • Once protocol and application design has been discussed I will create small superficial burns to the surface skin known as gates, allowing access to the lymphatic system, Kambo will be applied to these gates.
  • If you are receiving a wet purge ceremony you will asked to start drinking water, the amount will be 1-2l.

  • Kambo medicine is then applied to the open gates, beginning with an initial test gate first to monitor sensitivity and response.

  • In the first 2-5 min you may experience heat moving through the body, an increase of heart rate and rising of blood pressure, the blood pressure begins to drop and then this is when you are most likely to experience  
    discomfort and nausea.
  • If you are happy to proceed I will then apply the remaining Kambo medicine. 
  • You will then experience  for around 15 - 30 minutes the sensations of Kambo as above and be invited on inward journey with the Frog Spirit, you will be supported, reassured and guided though this process.
    You will purge physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually.
    It is important to meet Kambo, like any master teacher medicine from a humble place of no expectation as we all receive and purge individually, there is no right or wrong way and the medicine will always offer us the healing we most need at this moment

  • After 30 - 60 min any feelings of discomfort and nausea will have passed, you will then feel beautiful clarity and stillness, relaxation, inner calmness,  increased sensitivity, inner peace and feel grounded within your being.
    For those with the intention of wishing Kambo to support them with pain and/or inflammation, the relief and benefits of the medicine are generally felt immediately and are lasting.

  • You will be encouraged to rest and sink into a post Kambo peace nap for a moment whilst I prepare tea and nourishment post ceremony.
    As we refuel our bodies and enjoy  our tea you'll be invited to share your inner Kambo journey to better help with integration and the journey ahead.  

  • After the ceremony and for the following 1 to 2 weeks it is common to feel lighter and brighter, experience more ease, flow, greater awareness, spiritual connection, confidence, higher levels of discernment, and vitality...

– aka Kambo Glow.

Kambo holds incredible potential to support our well-being and health, as we witness these enchanting, beautiful medicines becoming more popular here in the West, it is essential that your safety and well-being is priority.
