Come, Sit with the frog.
Kambo – [kahm-bo] – aka (Sapo)
The secretion derived from the skin of the Giant Green Monkey Tree Frog – (Phyllomedusa bicolor)
There is a Kaxinawa legend from Brazil, that tells of the Natives from a village falling very, very ill and the medicine man, Paje’, had tried everything possible to heal them. All medicinal herbs known were used but none would help his people. So, Paje’ decided to enter the forest, and under the effects of a sacred plant medicine, he received a visit from a female spirit of the forest, she brought in her hands a large green frog, from which she took a white milky secretion and taught Paje’ how to use it. Returning to the tribe and following the vision that he had received, Paje’ was able to cure his people. After his death, the tribe believed that his spirit passed into the frog and they began to use its secretion to stay active, healthy, and strong from Kambô.

Kambo: Vaccine of the Forest
“It is venom and it is medicine. It is frog, “toad,” and snake. It is saliva and it is water. It is well researched and completely mysterious. It is magic and it is science. The human body recognizes it instantly, while our culture often mistakes it for something else. In water, in trees, on land—it is fluidity and unity. It is the sacred secretions of the Matsés, the cat people, now the eagle. Happens fast, feels like forever. It is Sapo, and it is Kambo. It is the Amphibian, in our bodies, souls and worlds.”
~ Morgan Maher, from the forward of Sapo in My Soul.
Kambo is “one of the strongest natural antibiotics and anesthetics found in the world and one of the strongest, natural ways to empower our immune system.”
Kambo is the name given to the traditional Shamanic frog secretion cleanse that is used to strengthen and heal mind, body and spirit. The scientific name for this frog is Phyllomedusa bicolor or “Giant Monkey Frog”. This frog lives in the Northwestern part of the Amazon Rainforest, namely Colombia and on the border between Brazil and Peru and is used by indigenous tribes there to gain strength, immunity and hunting magic. This cute frog secretes a poisonous waxy secretions from its skin, the potency of which repels all predators.
The secretion from the Giant Monkey Frog is applied to the skin after small burns are made with the tip of a glowing stick. Once applied, Kambo stimulates a strong physical purge while toxins and ‘bad luck’ or ‘panema’ are eliminated from body and spirit.
