What is
Kambo?
Kambo derives from the secretion of the Amazonian giant waxy tree frog Phyllomedusa Bicolor.
The secretion comprises a unique complex cocktail of bioactive peptides that produce incredible benefits for the body and mind.
Italian pharmacologist Vittorio Erspamer of the University of Rome was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize and was the first scientist to analyze Kambo in the laboratory concluding that Kambo contains a "fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications unmatched by any other amphibian."
What are peptides?
The benefits of Kambo stem from the bioactive peptides and neuropeptides found in the Kambo secretion. The bioactive peptides found in Kambo positively affect humans due to their health-promoting properties. They can exert several beneficial effects like preventing diseases or modulating the physiological systems once they are absorbed in the human body.
These peptides perform a broad range of functions that can be involved in the gastrointestinal system, such as the anti-obesity and satiety peptides, the cardiovascular system such as antihypertensive, antithrombotic, and hypocholesterolemic peptides, the immune system such as antimicrobial, and immune-modulatory peptides, and the nervous system such as opioid peptides.
Mission
Who can benefit?
People turn to Kambo for many different uses, from physical to psychological. Although Kambo is not considered a medicine in the western sense of the word, many people have found relief from physical ailments. Kambo has analgesic properties that have the potential to provide pain relief up to 40 times stronger than morphine without the addictive high that comes from opiates. Many people who suffer from autoimmune diseases such as Lyme have found incredible benefits from Kambo, aiding in relieving their symptoms and putting life back into their bodies. Kambo has shown fantastic attributes in assisting people with depression, anxiety, and PTSD on a psychological level.
Everyone can benefit from Kambo (as long as no contraindications are present). Tribes of the Amazon often refer to Kambo as "Hunting Magic" as it strengthens the physical body and the mind. Kambo brings energy and stamina into the body and sharpens the senses. It makes the mind still and allows one to think clearly. The small things that bother us daily do not seem to be as significant following a Kambo session, allowing one to focus on the things that truly matter in life.
