combining Indigenous ceremonies

with Eastern and Western Medicine

What is Kambo?

Kambo, often referred to as the "vaccine of the forest," is a powerful and ancient healing medicine derived from the secretions of the Phellomedusa bicolor frog native to the Amazon rainforest. This sacred substance has been a well-guarded secret among indigenous warrior tribes for generations, treasured for its profound effects on health, longevity, and vitality. The primary active components in Kambo are bioavailable peptides, which are short chains of amino acids with potent biological activities.

During a Kambo ceremony, a small amount of the Kambo secretion is applied to small burns or superficial openings on the skin, allowing these peptides to enter the bloodstream. The ceremony is known for its intense but short-lived purgative effects, which can include nausea, vomiting, and sweating. These symptoms are considered a form of energetic purification.

Functional Medicine

Kambo ceremonies, the "jungle vaccine", serve as a powerful means to cleanse and reset the body, harnessing the innate intelligence of this natural medicine to activate the body's remarkable healing abilities.

Functional Medicine provides evidence-based care, allowing us to identify ailments, address the body's unique needs, and track progress to recovery.

Chinese Medicine guides the way with herbal supplementation, while acupuncture works to reprogram cell memory and restore harmony in bodily functions through the flow of qi.

It's all about peptides!

Kambo peptides are the biologically active compounds found in the secretions of the Phellomedusa bicolor frog, commonly known as Kambo or Sapo frog. These peptides are a complex mixture of short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
