Frog medicine is a heart opener, and a magical ally for accessing our emotions and experiencing a somatic release of energy. Kambo (also known as Sapo, or Acaté) is the venomous secretion of the Giant Monkey Tree Frog, or Phyllomedusa Bicolor. It is known as "The Vaccine of the Forest" and is one of the most powerful anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anesthetic natural substances on this planet. Applied to the skin, the frog's secretion enters our lymphatic system and acts like a key within our biochemical pathways synthesizing a chain of reactions which boost the immune and circulatory systems. It is used by the indigenous tribes of Brazil and Peru to prepare warriors for hunting, as well as to cure ailments amongst the tribe. It offers the psychological benefit of clearing negative energy and relieving what the tribes call "panema"or bad luck/heaviness/depression. Kambo cleanses physically, mentally, as well as energetically and has a very powerful effect on one's overall energy, as it heals at the cellular level and ignites DNA memory which may have been dormant or repressed through daily stress and trauma. Kambo detoxifies the internal organs along with the mind and opens the heart to receive healing wherever it is needed.

 

The secretion contains short chains of amino acids known as peptides, which affect blood circulation and gastrointestinal muscles that stimulate the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland in the brain. Kambo wakes up the body's natural ability to heal itself and ultimately, engages a parasympathetic response from the nervous system. 

 

After sitting with Kambo, it is common to see a massive energetic shift in your life: Improvement in energy, physical health, reduced depression, addictions, and relief from chronic pain with a sense of personal power and hope restored. 

​

If you've found your way here, the frog may be calling you. I say it's the Kambo Soulsong. Kambo calls to those parts within us that are wanting to be seen, heard, and integrated - our shadow self. With its ancient blueprint, Kambo assists in remembering who we are. We are already enough. Everything we need is within us. Shamanic medicine is very different from what's called "medicine" by the western medical model. Kambo's sacred wisdom has been helping the indigenous tribes for thousands of years, and I am honored to be practicing this tradition in the Matsés warrior way.

The Matsés are fierce warriors of the Amazon inhabiting the area between Brazil and Peru. They have been called the "Jaguar people" for their advanced hunting skills and exceptional fighting capabilities. On the Brazilian side, they are known to be Mayoruna, or "River people." They are a powerful people and preserve their rainforest with a deep respect for the land and the animals that inhabit it, entirely self-sufficient and independent of western technology.
