Dear FriendsWelcome to join us on the 24th of September from 9 am to 11:30 am for healing circle with sacred Amazonian Medicine Frog Kambo - The secretion of the Amazon tree frog has many names. The most popular is Kambo, but it is also known as “sapo,” the “toad vaccine,” or “medicine of the forest.” It is traditionally used to treat ailments of the mind, body, and spirit, but is also known for its powerful cleansing effects. Read on to learn about some surprising health benefits and dangers of Kambo.
Kambo is harvested from the secretions of the Amazon tree frog, Phyllomedusa bicolor. Kambo is traditionally used to remove “Panema,” or negative energy, which is said to result in numerous health benefits such as gaining strength and maintaining health. It also aids with mental illness and addiction.
The Kambo ceremony involves making several small burns at specific locations on the body and applying the secretion to the burns. Kambo initially causes a generally unpleasant period of increased heart rate, nausea, vomiting, and incontinence that lasts 30 to 40 minutes. This is followed by a period of listlessness and eventually some long-lasting effects.
The secretion from its skin actually has over 200 peptides and bio peptides in it hence its healing properties.
Components
Kambo contains many peptides that are active in the body, including phyllocaerulein, phyllomedusin, phyllokinin, sauvagine, dermaseptins, adenoregulin, deltorphin, and dermorphin.
Their action is explained in the following section.
Mechanism of Action
The peptides from Kambo have incredibly diverse effects in the body. They are absorbed directly into the bloodstream through burns in the skin. The following peptides have been discovered in Kambo:
Phyllocaerulein (150 to 600 ug/g fresh tissue) stimulates gut flow, stomach acid secretion, and lowers blood pressure.
Phyllomedusin (tachykinin, NK1 activator) and phyllokinin (bradykinin) contract the gut and lower blood pressure (by dilating blood vessels). Phyllomedusin also acts on the brain to alter consciousness and behavior.
Sauvagine stimulates the adrenals and dopamine release. It causes the smooth muscles to contract and acts acts as a depressant in the brain (i.e., “downer”)
Dermaseptin B2 fights microbes and may combat cancer.
Adenoregulin affects the activity of important neurotransmitters and compounds (adenosine, adrenaline, and serotonin (5-HT1A)). It’s responsible for the initial listlessness and eventually an intense “flight or fight” response
Deltorphins (delta-opioid receptor activator) and dermorphin (mu-opioid receptor activator) act as opioids to relieve pain and induce euphoria.
Health Benefits of Kambo
1) ‼️The Kambo Cleanse
Kambo is known for its intense and immediate purgatory effects that generally result in vomiting and diarrhea that can last up to 4 hours, which remove toxins from the body. The ritual, performed by both tribes and urban people, has been documented and described in detail. Several peptides in Kambo are probably responsible for the effect.
The phylloceruelean peptide in Kambo increased acid production in the stomach, contracted the small intestine, and increased pancreas activity.
2) ‼️Kambo May Help Relieve Stress and Anxiety
Kambo users frequently report improved mood. The Kambo peptide, dermorphin, decreased blood levels of the “stress hormone” cortisol in 28 healthy human subjects.
3) ‼️Kambo Peptide May Help Increase Milk Production
Prolactin is a hormone that drives milk production during breastfeeding. The Kambo peptide dermorphin increased the production of prolactin in healthy 28 human subjects. Dermorphin could potentially be developed for use in new mothers who are not producing enough milk for their babies.
4) ‼️Kambo Relieves Pain
Deltorphin and dermorphin, found in the skin of the Amazon frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor and other related species), are opioid peptides with promising pain-relieving effects and minimal toxicity.
Deltorphin peptides relieved pain in mice
Studies in cow brain blood vessels show deltorphin is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. This is important in order for the peptides to have an effect on the brain and reduce pain.
5) ‼️Kambo Has Anticancer Properties
Dermaseptin B2, one of many peptides found in Kambo, blocked the growth of prostate cancer.
Dermaseptin B2 also stopped the growth of many human cancers in cell studies, including mouth cancer, prostate cancer, and brain tumors.
Additionally, in cellular studies, Dermaseptin B2 blocked processes that led to new blood vessel growth, which is useful in treating cancer because it blocks the flow of nutrients to growing tumors.
When nanoparticles were used to deliver dermaseptin to cancer cells, it had a stronger anticancer effect
6) ‼️Kambo May Help Treat Addiction
Tachykinins are small proteins that affect reward, motivation, and stress responses in the brain, which are disrupted in addiction. Molecules that can reach the brain and increase tachykinin activity (by binding to receptors) have the potential for treating addiction.
Phyllomedusin is one tachykinin found in Kambo that is likely responsible for the effects of Kambo in treating addiction.
7) ‼️Kambo Lowers Blood Pressure
Kambo users commonly report a drop in blood pressure as one of their symptoms during the initial unpleasant phase of Kambo cleansing.
8) ‼️Kambo May Protect the Heart
9) ‼️Kambo Is Antimicrobial
Many of the peptides found in the secretions of the tree frog can fight microbes, which protect the frog from infections. They have a wide spectrum of microbe-fighting activity.
Side Effects and Warnings
In addition to the unpleasant effects (increased heart rate, nausea, vomiting, incontinence) that occur upon application of Kambo, there are several reports of more serious side effects.

Kambo Ceremony
The purification ritual begins by burning several small holes into the skin. Dried Kambo is reconstituted with water and applied to the fresh wounds
Kambo causes immediate and generally unpleasant gastrointestinal and cardiovascular effects, such as purging, incontinence, and rapid heart rate.
Ultimately, users report experiencing numerous beneficial effects, such as increased strength, heightened senses, lack of hunger or thirst, and increased ability to face stressful situations.
Traditionally, Kambo ceremonies are utilized prior to a hunting expedition in many South American countries such as Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, French Guiana, Suriname, and Venezuela.
Kambo should be used only under direct supervision, ideally with Carol Tablot, who has the right education and experience with the traditional ceremony.
