Kabbo, also known as sapo or frog medicine, is used by numerous indigenous tribes in the Amazon jungle, including the Matsés people of Brazil and Peru. It involves applying the deadly secretions of the enormous leaf frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor) on small burns.

At the start of the kambo ceremony, a trained practitioner will often mildly burn the participant’s skin, generally on the arm or leg.

Applying the secretion to small blister spots on the skin is the only safe technique to utilize Kambo. Because only the epidermis is burned, the kambo can enter the body through a “gate” because the burn is not deep.

For a basic kambo session, three “gates” in the skin are typically opened.

We will ask the client to drink about half a liter of water before putting the Kambo dots to the open gates. The kambo enters the bloodstream when the secretion is applied to the gates. The effects are usually brief—between 20 and 25 minutes—but they can be strong.

The side effects of kambo might occasionally include sweating, vomiting, an elevated heart rate, and a clear or euphoric mood.

Numerous people report a variety of health advantages, including immune system activation, cleansing, and pain and other condition relief.

Only highly competent persons should use kambo, and those who are on certain medications or have specific ailments should refrain from using kambo.
