Kambo: Medicine of Purification

Overview
Kambo is the profound detoxification medicine derived from the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog. Used traditionally by Amazonian tribes, Kambo cleanses not only the physical body but also clears emotional and energetic blockages, allowing you to access deeper layers of personal power and resilience.
How It Works
-
Physical Cleansing: Kambo triggers a powerful purge, expelling toxins and clearing stagnant energy.
-
Emotional Release: The process often brings buried emotions to the surface, inviting release and renewal.
-
Energetic Realignment: Participants frequently experience a rebalancing of their energy systems, fostering clarity and strength.
The Ceremony
Our Kambo ceremonies are held in a secure, sacred space. Preparation includes a pre-ceremony consultation and guidance on dietary and lifestyle adjustments. During the ceremony, trained facilitators ensure that every step—application, purging, and rest—is supported with reverence, safety, and compassion.
