  • Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease

  • Vascular insufficiency

  • Organ diseases

  • Cancer

  • Fertility problems

How Kampu or Kambo is Administered?

In the Amazon, kampu is traditionally collected early in the morning, when the Phyllomedusa bicolor—the giant monkey frog from which the venom is derived—are singing and can easily be found. Without harming them, a shaman scrapes venom from the frog’s skin with a stick. The venom is then administered to a person via small holes that are burned into the top few layers of their skin, usually on the arm. Because of its purging and cleansing properties, kampu is often used as a precursor to an ayahuasca ceremony, which is also used by many of the same tribes.

Undertaking a kampu ceremony can be an intense experience. In addition to burning holes in the top layers of the skin, it can cause a strong reaction in your nervous system, including side effects such as muscle cramps, swelling, vomiting, and a strong emotional reaction which is intense at the moment but leaves you feeling relaxed after about an hour. While the experience is not for everyone, Kampu’s cleansing effects begin within minutes of administration, and it leaves most people feeling less pain in the days and weeks after treatment.

Proper Conditions for Use

It’s always advised to take kambo with an experienced practitioner to support a positive experience. By treating this sacred frog secretion with respect, many people experience a powerful cleansing of negative energies, decrease their physical pain, and treat a wide variety of physical and psychospiritual ailments.
