What is the frog medicine, Kambo?

Updated: Aug 4, 2022

Kambô is one of the most extraordinary natural healing gifts available to humanity. Kambô is a resinous secretion from one of the largest Hylid frogs known as the Giant Waxy Monkey Tree Frog, scientifically known as Phyllomedusa Bicolor. The Frog is found in abundance across the Upper Amazon rain-forest areas of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, French Guiana, Suriname and Venezuela. The secretion is also called Sapo, Dow-kiet, Hunting magic, Ordeal medicine, “Vaccine of the forest” or “Guardian of the Leaf”. Amazonian tribes take Kambô before hunting to ensure greater success. It heightens their senses, strengthens and energizes, allowing hunters to run faster with more stamina, without needing as much food, water, or sleep. It’s frequently used as a jungle medicine to treat snake bites, malaria, infections, and fever. Interestingly it’s also used to clear ‘Panema’ – a word that loosely translates to negative energy, dark energy, or bad luck. Like all of nature, the Kambô frog is

revered by the tribes so it is returned to the jungle unharmed after the collection.

Over the course of three decades, scientists have shown that the Kambô secretion contains a unique

and highly complex chemical cocktail of bio-active peptides beneficial to the human body. It is alleged that over 70 patents have been lodged, but so far, none of these single isolated peptide extracts has come close to this healing modality in it’s entirety in nature.



Kambô is known to be one of strongest natural ways to fortify the immune system, and one of nature’s most powerful anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibiotic and anesthetic substances.
