What is Kambo ?

 

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.

~ The Spirit of the Shaman

 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.

What is Sananga and why in the hell does it burn?    

                                                                                  The pronunciation for Sananga is 'Sa-nan-ga'

Sananga is a tradition of the Matis tribe, an indigenous tribe of the Amazon. They have been using Sananga (also known as Becchete) and other Amazonian plants for generations. They use Sananga for healing both ritual and medicinal purposes, which include improving their focus and clearing out distracting energies before going on a hunt.

Sananga is a potent eye drop that has been used for many reasons, including its ability to sharpen night vision. Some tribes in Brazil use sananga prior to ayahuasca ceremonies because they believe it has a healing power that is more energetic than physical, increasing spiritual insight in those who use it. Many people today also use it in conjunction with kambô or other psychedelic plants and chemicals.

Among its myriad benefits, sananga is said to be capable of detoxifying the body, increasing visual perception, resetting the energetic field, and treating spiritual diseases (also known as “panema”) that spring up from negative energies in the body.

Sananga is made from the Tabernaemontana undulate shrub of South America. They take the bark from the roots of the shrub and grind it into a very fine powder, which they strain several times through mesh using freshwater. Not all of the active ingredients have been scientifically proven, but it is said to contain ibogaine, which is known to have neurological and psychological benefits. It also contains several alkaloids that can have strong psychoactive effects.

What is Rapéh?    (pronounced “Ha-peh”)

Nicotine may be a widely abused substance in our modern world, but to many indigenous cultures of the Americas, tobacco is a sacred plant known to cleanse both individuals and ceremonial spaces. That’s the case for rapéh (pronounced “ha-peh”), a powerful, cleansing snuff used by shamans in Brazil and Peru as part of important medicinal rituals.

 

Rapéh is gaining more popularity outside of the Amazon for its medicinal properties, and for people interested in trying it, it’s important to find a reputable source for the sacred tobacco. 

 

Benefits of Using Rapéh can help you in the following ways:

Helps focus and sharpen the mind.

Clears a person or space of distracting, bad energies in preparation for intention setting.

Detoxes both body and mind and clears your energetic field. Because of this, rapéh is often used in conjunction with ayahuasca ceremonies.

 

Clears sinuses of mucus and bacteria, thereby helping to combat colds and respiratory ailments.

Provides a calming, grounding effect on the emotions that lasts much longer that the initial sensation.

Can be used in conjunction with other treatments for addiction and mental illness.

 

What is Rapéh?

While rapéh is often made of several Amazonian plants, the core of most rapéh snuffs is the tobacco species Nicotiana rustica. This Amazonian tobacco, also known as Mapacho, is used extensively in tribal rituals and is much stronger than N. tobacco, the type of tobacco found in cigarettes. In addition to the tobacco, rapéh usually includes the alkaline ashes of other plants such as cinnamon, tonka bean, clover, banana peel, or mint, but many shamans keep the exact ingredients of their particular rapéh a secret.

The Experience of Using Rapéh:

 

The tobacco and other ingredients are ground into a fine powder, which is then blown or snorted high into each of the nostril cavities through a ceremonial pipe made of bone or bamboo. While it’s ideal to do this using a two-person pipe and an experienced shaman or practitioner administering the snuff.  Rapéh is a cleansing medicine, so after taking it, you may experience side effects such as vomiting, sweating, and diarrhea. Although this is an admittedly uncomfortable part of the experience, some people say the pain is an integral part of the spiritual and physical cleansing process—by purging deep-seated toxins, you come out the other side of the experience feeling calmer, more focused, and more in line with your true self.

 

 

Creating a Healthy Environment for Use

The indigenous peoples who have long used rapéh see the ceremonial use of rapéh as a form of prayer that “call[s] upon the forces of Nature, the blessing of the animals of the forest, and power of medicinal plants to heal us and give us strength.” It is, therefore, important that you use this substance in a respectful environment focused on healing.

Kambo is a medicine from frog used in different native tribes to cleanse the body and spirit. Kambo is collected from the Phyllomedusa Bicolor frog.

Because of its potent effect on the whole human organism, the Kambo-frog treatment has been used for ages in the Amazon area. The local tribesmen traditionally use it for: Healing and cleansing of the body (kambo cleanse) Physical strength and stamina Spiritual and mental clarity Luck and zest of life. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH The Kambo secretion based on human use was first researched and described by western scientists John Daly, Vittorio Erspamer and their team, published in 1992. Vittori Erspamer already published an article based on his studies of peptides in Phyllomedusa skin “a huge factory and store-house of active peptides” in 1985. Those bio active peptides are also the reason why the pharma-industry is so interested in it, developing a new medication from one of the peptides could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars and there are already several patents existing on some of the peptides. Here are some of the peptides found in the secretion: adenoregulins, bradykinins, tachykinins, caerulein, sauvagine, tryptophyllins, deltorphins, dermaseptins, dermorphins, phyllocaeruleın and bombesins. THE FROG The Kambo frog aka “Giant waxy monkey tree frog” lives in the trees and has not much to fear about natural enemies. You can hear the mating call he produces as soon as it gets dark, when imitating that sound he would respond to it, especially when raining and around the new moon, thereby it is easily to locate him. Often times one would need to climb a high tree to get the frog. As the frogs do not try to escape, it is very easy to get them move on to a large wooden stick or branch from where they can be transported to the place where then the extraction will happen. VENOM EXTRACTION For that four wooden sticks are put into the ground shaping a small square. Then the frog gets tied with four separated strings by all of his extremities to the wooden sticks, suspending the animal in a way so that it does not move. To make the frog excrete the venom he needs to feel in danger, and one way to invoke this would be to knock repeatedly on his head, thereby annoying him to excrete a white, slimy secretion on his legs and the side of his body. This substance is scraped off with a small piece of wood and then transferred to another flat wooden stick, on which it later dries out and gets durable for a long time. The frog is not really hurt during this procedure – nevertheless, the whole act is also not comfortable for him. Once the extraction is done, the frog is released into freedom and his natural surroundings. ---------------------- Tags: kambo, kambo ceremonie, matses, kambo training, first kambo experience, cleaning your body, ikap, kambo frog, kambo documentary
