What is Kambo?
Kambo is an ancient Amazonian healing practice that utilizes the potent secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor—also known as the Giant Waxy Monkey Tree Frog—to initiate a powerful full-spectrum detoxification and energetic recalibration of the human system. Traditionally used by indigenous tribes across the Amazon basin, Kambo has been revered as the “Vaccine of the Forest” for its ability to fortify the immune system, purge deep-rooted toxins, and restore balance to body, mind, and spirit.
This sacred medicine works far beyond the physical plane. While Kambo is well known for its intense purgative effects—cleansing the liver, lymphatic system, and digestive tract—it also penetrates the emotional, mental, and energetic bodies. Many who sit with Kambo report releasing emotional stagnation, clearing psychic debris, and reconnecting with inner strength, clarity, and purpose. It is as much a rite of passage as it is a detox, often described as a reset at the cellular and spiritual level.
The secretion contains a powerful cocktail of bioactive peptides, which interact with the body's receptors to support immune function, reduce inflammation, enhance pain modulation, and promote deep cellular revitalization.
The peptides found in Kambo appear to support mitochondrial function and energy production at the core of the body's biological systems—creating a sense of renewal, cognitive clarity, and physiological resilience that some describe as a full-body recharge.
How Kambo Works
When introduced into the human body, Kambo interacts with our cells at a profound level, bypassing traditional filtration processes. Instead of being expelled, our cells open up to receive the medicine's healing properties, allowing Kambo to address issues at their root cause.
Raw, Living Earth Medicine
Kambo is not a synthetic pharmaceutical but an alive, intelligent medicine derived directly from nature.
Bioactive Peptides
Contains over 15 identified peptides with antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, and potent anti-inflammatory properties.
Cellular Intelligence
Supports the body's innate wisdom, allowing it to reset cellular memory, enhance immune function, and accelerate healing processes.
What makes Kambo exceptional is its status as raw, living Earth medicine. These peptides not only assist in detoxification but also play significant roles in neurotransmission, pain relief, cellular regeneration, and hormone balance. The potential applications of Kambo are vast, serving as a catalyst for renewal and transformation in both body and spirit.
Traditional Uses of Kambo
In its traditional context, Kambo is far more than a detox—it is a warrior’s medicine. Among tribes like the Matsés of the Amazon, Kambo was rooted in a survival-based worldview and seen as both a protector and a purifier—used to dispel dark energies, strengthen the immune system, and build resilience in the face of adversity.
Often applied during rites of passage or in response to spiritual imbalance, Kambo was regarded not just as a healing tool, but as a spiritual weapon—a force that demands courage, endurance, and the willingness to confront suffering in order to emerge stronger. In this traditional paradigm, healing is not about comfort; it is about clearing, recalibrating, and reclaiming power through the raw intelligence of nature.
Hunting Preparation
For centuries, Amazonian tribes have used Kambo to cleanse, strengthen, and energize their minds and bodies, particularly among hunters preparing for their expeditions. With the aid of Kambo, hunters reported increased stamina, reduced need for food and sleep, and heightened sensory awareness. They believed that Kambo could even make them "invisible" to animals by temporarily eliminating their human scent, allowing for stealth and precision in hunting.
Removal of Panema
Another deeply rooted traditional use of Kambo is the removal of Panema, a term referring to dark or stagnant energy that causes stagnation, resistance, and misfortune. When Panema is cleared, individuals often report experiencing a renewed sense of clarity, alignment, and flow in their lives. Challenges seem less daunting, obstacles dissolve with ease, and life begins to unfold more harmoniously.
Modern Uses of Kambo
In modern ceremonial contexts, Kambo is no longer viewed solely as a survival tool or a sole warrior medicine—it is embraced as a sacred ally for awakening and multidimensional healing. While its traditional use emphasized physical endurance and spiritual protection, today’s practitioners recognize that Kambo offers access to something far deeper: a pathway to healing that extends far beyond physical ailments or defense against harm.
Within this higher consciousness model, Kambo is understood as a bridge between biology and spirit, catalyzing transformation across the emotional, energetic, and spiritual layers of the human experience. It clears not just the body, but the field—liberating stuck patterns, old narratives, and dense energies that cloud one’s inner truth. Kambo becomes a mirror, a guide, and a reset button—inviting us to return to inner coherence, soul remembrance, and expanded awareness.
Rather than surviving the jungle outside, modern uses engage Kambo to navigate the inner landscape—transmuting fear, fragmentation, and disconnection into clarity, empowerment, and embodied presence. In this way, Kambo is no longer just a purge—it is a portal.
Kambo is not just a detox—it is a transformational medicine with the ability to shed emotional, mental, and energetic resistances that contribute to dis-ease. Its effects go beyond temporary relief, often leading to profound internal shifts.
Emotional Stability
Participants frequently report feelings of increased courage, emotional stability, personal sovereignty, and compassion.
Reduced Dense Emotions
There is often a noticeable reduction—or complete dissipation—of feelings like frustration, anger, and anxiety.
Enhanced Connection
Participants describe being less trapped in their thoughts and more connected to their hearts and bodies, fostering an overall sense of inner peace and presence.
The transformation brought about by Kambo is not fleeting; with proper integration, its benefits can extend for weeks, months, or even longer. Traditionally, three sessions within one lunar cycle (28 days) are recommended for maximum therapeutic benefit and transformation. This cyclical approach allows the medicine to work progressively, peeling back layers of energetic and emotional resistance with each session.
Important to Know

There are specific contraindications and health considerations that must be taken seriously. A thorough consultation with an experienced facilitator is essential to determine whether this medicine is appropriate and safe for you. Your well-being is paramount, and responsible facilitation includes honoring each individual’s unique constitution, history, and energetic readiness. That said, Kambo is not for everyone.
Kambo is not a psychedelic, nor does it contain any psychoactive compounds. While the experience can be intense and deeply transformative, it does not induce hallucinations or altered states of perception. Instead, Kambo works through the intelligence of the body itself—activating detoxification, immune function, and energetic clearing on a cellular and soul level.
The true power of Kambo lies in its ability to awaken the body’s innate healing intelligence and harmonize the bioenergetic systems—not by altering consciousness, but by clearing the density that clouds it. It is a purification on all levels: physical, emotional, spiritual.
In essence, Kambo is more than a medicine—it is a guide, a mirror, and a bridge between realms. It facilitates deep release, restores clarity, and reconnects you to the wholeness that already lives within. As both an ancient and evolving sacrament, it continues to serve as a sacred ally in healing, transformation, and remembrance.

Benefits, Uses, and Science
Kambo offers a broad spectrum of physical, therapeutic, and energetic benefits, making it a unique and powerful tool in both traditional and modern healing contexts. From detoxification and immune support to emotional release and spiritual alignment, Kambo addresses the multi-dimensional layers of health that many conventional approaches often overlook.
While there are currently no formal clinical studies on Kambo as a complete medicine, there is a growing body of scientific research on the individual bioactive peptides present in its secretion. These peptides—such as dermorphin, caerulein, phyllocaerulein, sauvagine, and adenoregulin—have been studied for their potent effects on the human body. They have shown promise in areas such as pain modulation, antimicrobial action, blood pressure regulation, immune activation, and anti-inflammatory responses.
These compounds work in synergy to activate the body’s natural intelligence, supporting its ability to detoxify, regenerate, and return to balance. While more formal research is needed to fully understand Kambo’s therapeutic mechanisms, the peptide-based pharmacology of the secretion offers exciting potential in the fields of neuroscience, immunology, and integrative medicine.

Beginning Your Kambo Journey
Once you feel called to experience Kambo, we will begin with a brief discovery call to discuss the process, review your medical and social history, and ensure that Kambo is a safe and appropriate choice for you. This initial conversation sets the foundation for a meaningful and intentional ceremony.
The Sacred Ceremony
Kambo is traditionally administered within the sacred space of a Spiritual Ceremony, holding the spirit of the medicine in deep reverence and gratitude. The ceremony typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours and is guided with care, presence, and intention.
Setting Your Intention
Intention is a vital component of working with Kambo. Before administering the medicine, we will discuss your intention for healing and transformation. Intention acts as a powerful guiding force, aligning your focus with your goals and creating a sacred connection between you, the medicine, and the healing process. Whether you seek physical relief, emotional release, or spiritual alignment, intention will serve as a compass throughout your journey.
Water as Medicine
At the start of the ceremony, and sometimes shortly before, you will drink 1–2 liters of water. Water serves as a vehicle for purification, carrying the toxins drawn out by Kambo through the stomach and intestines. As biological beings, water is our first medicine, and it should be regarded with the respect and reverence it deserves. It plays an essential role in facilitating the process, supporting both physical detoxification and energetic clearing.
Administration and Healing Process
Kambo is administered through small, painless burns on the skin, known as dots or gates. These superficial burns allow the medicine to bypass the digestive system and enter the body directly through the lymphatic system, where it begins scanning and addressing areas most in need of healing. The medicine works intuitively, targeting physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances, even interacting with the brain through indirect pathways.
The number of Kambo points (burns) and their placement on the body are chosen through an intentional process rooted in connection—to each other and to the spirit of the medicine. We begin by entering a meditative space together, tuning in with presence and receptivity. From this space of attunement, the appropriate dosage and location are not merely decided—they are received. Guided by intuition, experience, and the energetic communication of the medicine itself, we allow the spirit of Kambo to show us what is needed for your highest alignment and healing.
As the DNA imprint of the frog enters your body, it gifts you with the ability to dissolve dense energies that cause damage and dis-ease to your body, mind, and spirit. Once free of these dense energies, it is common to experience a profound sense of balance, clarity, and alignment across all levels of your being.
During The Medicine
The 20-Minute Process
The medicine remains on the skin for approximately 20 minutes. During this time, you may experience a wave of heat, ringing in the ears, an accelerated heartbeat, and sensations of nausea or discomfort. These are natural effects of the medicine interacting with your system and initiating the release process.
Release and Purification
It is important to recognize that Kambo does not make you sick—rather, it activates your body's natural ability to purge and release accumulated toxins, stagnant energy, and emotional burdens. The physical, mental, emotional, and energetic discomfort you experience during the session reflects the damage that has already been stored within your system, whether self-inflicted through choices and habits or imprinted by external circumstances and relationships. Each session with Kambo is unique, and the experiences vary depending on what is being released.
"These intense physical and emotional releases are not signs of illness but rather visible manifestations of the accumulated energetic disturbances surfacing all at once. Entheogens do not make us sick; they make us aware of what is already there. They serve as mirrors, amplifiers, and catalysts, enabling us to expel years' worth of energetic residue in a concentrated period of time."
Completion and Integration
Once the 20-minute cycle has come to completion, the Kambo medicine is gently removed from your skin. We then take time to sit together in stillness, allowing space for reflection and integration—honoring the insights, emotions, and energetic shifts that arose during your session.
To seal the energetic portals—known as "Gates"—a powerful natural resin called Dragon’s Blood, sourced from an Amazonian tree, is applied. This sacred antimicrobial sap not only protects the skin from infection but also symbolically seals in the intentions, healing, and frequencies you are choosing to carry forward.
Once applied, Dragon’s Blood forms a protective layer over the Gates, naturally adhering to the skin. There’s no need to worry—it is waterproof and will remain in place through daily activities like showering or swimming. It will gently flake off on its own once the wound beneath has fully healed, leaving no residue and requiring no special care.
Innoculation: The Three-Session Protocol
Traditionally, three Kambo sessions within one lunar cycle (28 days) are recommended for maximum therapeutic benefit and deep transformational impact. This cyclical protocol allows the medicine to work in progressive layers, peeling back physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances while gradually strengthening the body's natural resilience.
This three-session series is often referred to as an "inoculation"—a term that describes the introduction of a substance that stimulates the body's immune defenses and builds long-term resistance. In the case of Kambo, this term reflects the understanding that the secretion contains immuno-modulating peptides—bioactive compounds that support and stimulate the immune system in intelligent and adaptive ways. Through this biochemical activity, Kambo is believed to "train" the immune system, much like a vaccine trains the body to recognize and respond to threats—though Kambo does this through natural compounds, not through pathogens.
By completing three sessions within a single moon cycle, practitioners believe the body receives the full imprint of the medicine's immune-enhancing potential—what many refer to as receiving the "antigen of the frog." This phrase speaks to the energetic and biochemical influence of the peptides circulating within your system, fortifying your internal defenses and restoring balance on multiple levels.
This is why Kambo is often called the "vaccine of the forest"—not as a replacement for conventional vaccines, but as a sacred biological and spiritual intervention that supports your body's innate intelligence and capacity to heal.
Journey Beyond Detoxification
Kambo is not merely a detox—it is a sacred ally, a powerful teacher, and a profound catalyst for transformation. While its physical effects are well-known for cleansing the liver, lymph, and digestive system, its true impact goes far beyond the physical. Kambo works on the energetic, emotional, and spiritual layers of your being, helping you to confront stagnation, release outdated patterns, and return to your center with renewed clarity and strength.
Each ceremony offers an invitation:
  • To meet yourself fully.
  • To face what you’ve avoided.
  • To surrender to what your soul is ready to let go of.
  • To reclaim the parts of yourself that have been waiting to be remembered.
Kambo is a mirror and a medicine, reminding you of your own resilience, wisdom, and capacity for healing. It does not mask symptoms—it illuminates root causes. It does not offer escape—it invites radical presence. With each session, you are given an opportunity to step deeper into alignment with your highest self, with your purpose, and with life itself.

Emotional Benefits
Emotional Release
Kambo is not only a physical and spiritual detoxifier but also a powerful tool for emotional healing and resilience. Its bioactive peptides and energetic properties work synergistically to release deeply held emotional traumas, repressed feelings, and stagnant emotional energy stored within the body.
Emotional Alchemy
One of Kambo's most profound emotional benefits is its ability to alchemize dense emotions such as fear, anger, guilt, shame, and grief. These lower-vibrational emotions often act as barriers, limiting personal growth, self-expression, and emotional well-being.
Emotional Resilience
Kambo strengthens emotional resilience by helping individuals cultivate courage, self-trust, and inner strength. Facing the discomfort and intensity of the Kambo process can serve as a metaphor for confronting life's emotional challenges with bravery and determination.
Heart Connection
On a deeper level, Kambo fosters a connection with the heart space, enabling participants to experience emotions in their raw, unfiltered form without judgment or suppression.
Additionally, Kambo offers participants the opportunity to face their emotions head-on in a safe and supported environment. The medicine creates a space for emotional release and catharsis, whether through tears, physical sensations, or introspective realizations. This release often brings a sense of emotional relief, lightness, and mental clarity that persists long after the session.
Furthermore, Kambo can help individuals identify and dissolve emotional patterns that no longer serve them. Unhelpful cycles of self-sabotage, victimhood, or emotional repression often become more visible during the ceremony, offering clarity and insight into the root causes of these patterns. This awareness creates the foundation for intentional emotional transformation and healthier behavioral choices.
In essence, Kambo serves as a powerful ally for emotional liberation and healing. It invites participants to release what no longer serves them, embrace their emotional truth, and step into a state of authenticity, vulnerability, and inner peace. Through its transformative emotional benefits, Kambo becomes not just a detoxifier, but a guide toward a more emotionally harmonious and fulfilling life.

Energetic Cleansing
Kambo offers profound spiritual benefits that extend beyond physical detoxification, facilitating deep energetic cleansing and alignment. It has the remarkable ability to dissolve energetic blockages that may be obstructing our connection to ourselves, our purpose, and our higher calling.
Inner Transformation
One of Kambo's transformative gifts lies in its ability to alchemize limiting thoughts and deeply rooted beliefs of powerlessness, replacing them with a sense of inner strength, courage, and sovereignty. This energetic shift enables individuals to shed outdated patterns, self-defeating thought processes, and emotional barriers that no longer serve them.
Mind-Heart Unification
Kambo also fosters a profound unification of the mind and heart, bridging the gap between intellectual understanding and emotional connection. It helps to realign and balance the chakras, promoting harmony across the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies.
By clearing stagnant and dense energies we may have unconsciously absorbed from our surroundings, Kambo creates space for clarity, intuition, and self-awareness to emerge. This clarity often dissolves lingering doubts, allowing us to make decisions from a place of inner knowing and empowerment.
With these layers removed, participants often experience a renewed sense of freedom, authenticity, and alignment with their true essence. This alignment creates a fertile ground for synchronicities, heightened intuition, and deeper energetic shifts to occur naturally, guiding individuals towards greater alignment with their life's purpose.
Additionally, Kambo serves as a spiritual catalyst, facilitating the "shedding" of old energetic layers that contribute to the sickness of separation and dis-ease within our being. This shedding process often leads to a profound sense of renewal, peace, and interconnectedness with oneself, others, and the greater universe.
In essence, Kambo invites us to step boldly into our most authentic and empowered selves, fostering a deep sense of wholeness, clarity, and alignment that extends far beyond the ceremony itself. It is not merely a tool for healing—it is a spiritual ally that clears the path for transformation, integration, and the embodiment of our highest potential.
Therapeutic Uses
Kambo's bioactive peptides hold significant therapeutic potential, offering promising applications in both physical and mental health care. One notable area of interest is cancer treatment, particularly with the peptide Dermaseptin B2, which has been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth by more than 90%. Dermaseptin penetrates abnormal cells and induces necrosis—a process of active cell destruction—rather than apoptosis, which is the programmed cell death observed in healthy cellular turnover. This unique mechanism makes it a potential candidate for targeted cancer therapies.
Antimicrobial Properties
Dermaseptins and Adenoregulin are powerful natural antibiotics, effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant strains. Their ability to influence immune responses and interact with receptors in the central nervous system offers potential therapeutic applications for conditions such as meningitis and HIV.
Neurological Benefits
Peptides like Adenoregulin have demonstrated potential benefits for mental health conditions, including depression, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), stroke recovery, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These effects are primarily mediated through their ability to regulate neural pathways and influence neurotransmitter activity.
Pain Management
The opioid-like peptides Dermorphin and Deltorphin act as selective opiate receptor agonists and are significantly more potent than traditional pain relievers. Dermorphin, for example, is 4,000 times more potent than morphine and 40 times more potent than the body's natural endorphins.
Unlike synthetic opiates, which suppress breathing and can cause dependency, Dermorphin and Deltorphin stimulate deep breathing and are less likely to cause tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, or addiction. This makes them particularly promising for managing chronic pain and other conditions requiring long-term pain relief.
Another peptide, Phyllokinin, has shown potential in the treatment of hypertension, demonstrating a more effective ability to lower blood pressure compared to other polypeptides. Its vasodilating properties can improve overall vascular health and reduce cardiovascular risks.
Additionally, Kambo shows promise in addressing a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, vascular disorders, hepatitis, diabetes, rheumatism, arthritis, and other chronic inflammatory diseases. It may also offer therapeutic benefits for infertility, eating disorders, addictions, chronic fatigue syndrome, and anxiety.
In essence, the diverse bioactive peptides in Kambo hold extraordinary therapeutic value, addressing a wide spectrum of physical, emotional, and neurological conditions. While more clinical research is needed to fully understand their mechanisms and optimize their medical applications, the potential of Kambo as a complementary therapeutic tool remains profound.
Peptides
Kambo contains over a dozen bioactive peptides, some of which have structural and functional similarities to peptides naturally found in the human body. These bioactive compounds interact with our cellular receptors, allowing the body to recognize and respond to Kambo's secretion effectively. As a result, these peptides can influence a wide range of physiological and pathological processes, supporting functions such as immune response, pain modulation, antimicrobial defense, and cellular repair while promoting overall balance and healing within the body.
01 Adenoregulin
Adenoregulin interacts with A1 adenosine receptors, playing a key role in neurotransmitter release, synaptic plasticity, and neuroprotection during cellular stress events such as ischemia, hypoxia, and oxidative stress. As a byproduct of ATP metabolism, adenosine serves as a signaling molecule crucial for cellular energy regulation and neural stability. Adenoregulin supports cardiovascular function by optimizing myocardial oxygen consumption and coronary blood flow, while also helping to balance inflammation and modulate the body's stress response.
Through its multifaceted effects on the nervous system, cardiovascular system, and cellular metabolism, Adenoregulin serves as a bridge between cellular energy and systemic resilience. Its presence in Kambo highlights the medicine's ability to support deep physical and neurological healing, promoting cellular vitality, stress adaptation, and overall physiological balance.
02 Bombesins
Digestive Regulation
Bombesins play a key role in regulating gastric and pancreatic secretions, supporting digestive processes and influencing body temperature regulation. These peptides stimulate the release of digestive enzymes and hormones, enhancing the breakdown and absorption of nutrients.
Temperature Modulation
Participants may notice fluctuations in body temperature, such as feelings of warmth or chills, as Bombesins modulate metabolic activity and thermoregulation.
Enhanced Detoxification
The peptide's effect on gastrointestinal secretions can lead to a more intense and efficient detoxification process during purging, contributing to Kambo's cleansing and restorative effects.
03 Bradykinins
Bradykinins play a crucial role in vascular regulation and inflammation modulation. They induce vasodilation, widening blood vessels to lower blood pressure and improve circulation. Additionally, they increase vascular permeability, allowing fluids and immune cells to move more freely into tissues, which can sometimes lead to localized inflammation as part of the body's natural healing response.
During a Kambo session, the drop in blood pressure caused by bradykinins may result in lightheadedness or dizziness as the cardiovascular system adjusts. Beyond these immediate effects, bradykinins possess pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce physical discomfort and support post-session recovery. Their dual role in improving blood flow and modulating inflammation makes them essential contributors to Kambo's therapeutic benefits.
04 Caeruleins
Digestive Stimulation
Caeruleins, stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes and induce smooth muscle contraction in the stomach, pancreas, and gallbladder, enhancing digestive activity and facilitating the purging process commonly experienced during Kambo ceremonies.
Purging Process
These actions often result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping, which are considered integral to the body's physical and energetic detoxification process.
Pain Relief
Beyond their role in purging, caeruleins possess potent analgesic (pain-relieving) and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to alleviate discomfort and support recovery after the ceremony.
Their ability to interact with key receptors involved in pain modulation and inflammation control underscores their importance in Kambo's therapeutic effects, bridging both physical detoxification and post-session restoration.
05 Dermaseptins
Dermaseptins are known for their ability to combat bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. These peptides disrupt the cell membranes of pathogens, effectively neutralizing them and supporting the body's natural immune defenses. Research into Dermaseptins has also revealed their cytotoxic properties against certain cancer cells, highlighting their potential in anti-cancer therapies.
Dermaseptins typically do not produce immediate or noticeable effects during a Kambo session, they play an essential role in supporting the immune system and aiding the body's detoxification process at a cellular level. Their antimicrobial and immune-modulating properties contribute to Kambo's broader therapeutic benefits, reinforcing the body's ability to resist infection and restore balance.
06 Dermorphin
Dermorphin, known for its powerful analgesic pain-relieving properties, which are reported to be significantly stronger than morphine. It binds primarily to mu-opioid receptors, key sites in the brain and nervous system responsible for pain modulation, emotional regulation, and stress response.
This interaction not only provides profound pain relief but can also induce sensations of euphoria, deep relaxation, and sedation. During a Kambo session, Dermorphin helps manage physical discomfort, allowing participants to navigate the process with greater ease. Post-session, its effects may linger, leaving participants in a state of deep calm or drowsiness as the body integrates the medicine's impact. This peptide's ability to bridge physical relief with emotional tranquility underscores its essential role in Kambo's therapeutic experience.
07 Deltorphins
Pain Relief
Deltorphin renowned for its powerful analgesic (pain-relieving) properties. While it shares similarities with Dermorphin, Deltorphin exhibits a high affinity and selectivity for delta-opioid receptors, which play a crucial role in both pain modulation and mood regulation.
Emotional Regulation
By interacting with these receptors, Deltorphin effectively reduces physical discomfort while simultaneously influencing emotional states, often inducing feelings of euphoria, calm, and overall well-being.
Stress Management
This dual action helps participants manage stress and anxiety both during and after a Kambo session. The peptide's unique ability to bridge physical relief with emotional resilience makes it a key contributor to Kambo's transformative and therapeutic effects.
08 Neurokinin B
Neurokinin B plays a crucial role in reproductive health by regulating the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This hormone governs the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), both essential for fertility, menstrual cycle regulation, and overall hormonal balance. As a key modulator of the reproductive endocrine system, Neurokinin B ensures the precise timing and balance of hormone release, supporting healthy reproductive function in both men and women.
Interestingly, Neurokinin B's influence on hormonal rhythms and cycle regulation may explain why many women report their menstrual cycles aligning with the lunar cycle after receiving Kambo. The moon's cycle closely mirrors the average menstrual cycle length (approximately 28 days), and Neurokinin B's role in hormone synchronization and endocrine balance could naturally recalibrate the body's biological rhythms. This alignment suggests a potential connection between Kambo, hormonal regulation, and the natural cycles of the body and environment, highlighting the profound energetic and physiological harmony facilitated by this peptide.
09 Phyllocaerulein
Muscle Stimulation
Phyllocaerulein stimulates smooth muscle contraction, increases digestive secretions, and plays a key role in the purging process commonly experienced during Kambo ceremonies.
Pain Relief
Known for its pain-relieving properties and hypotensive effects, Phyllocaerulein also influences hormonal balance by stimulating the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland.
Metabolic Balance
Additionally, it can regulate appetite and satiety, contributing to metabolic balance. Through its diverse interactions, Phyllocaerulein supports detoxification, stress regulation, and overall physiological harmony.
10 Phyllokinin
Phyllokinin works by relaxing the smooth muscles of blood vessel walls, resulting in improved blood flow and a reduction in blood pressure. This sudden drop in blood pressure can occasionally cause temporary dizziness, lightheadedness, or faintness as the body adjusts to these changes.
Additionally, the increased circulation facilitated by Phyllokinin often produces a sensation of warmth or flushing, particularly in the face and upper body, as blood flow becomes more dynamic. These effects are typically brief but play a significant role in enhancing vascular function and supporting Kambo's detoxification process by promoting the efficient delivery of bioactive compounds throughout the body.
11 Phyllomedusin
Phyllomedusin influences smooth muscle contractions and stimulates the production of bodily fluids, including saliva, tears, and digestive secretions. Its effects are most pronounced in the gastrointestinal tract, where it induces intense muscle contractions and fluid release, triggering the vomiting and diarrhea commonly experienced during Kambo ceremonies. These physical responses are essential for facilitating the body's detoxification process, helping to expel toxins and stagnant energies. Additionally, excessive salivation, tearing, and sweating are often observed, further reflecting the peptide's role in stimulating excretory pathways and supporting the body's cleansing mechanisms.
12 Plasticins & Phylloseptins
Antimicrobial Defense
Plasticins and Phylloseptins play a crucial role in enhancing immune defenses, combating microbial threats, and supporting the body's detoxification and healing processes. Both peptides exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, effectively targeting bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Membrane Disruption
They work by disrupting the membranes of harmful microorganisms and preventing their growth and spread. This mechanism strengthens the body's natural immune response, aiding in infection prevention and cellular health maintenance.
Synergistic Protection
By enhancing immune efficiency and adding an additional layer of protection against microbial threats, Plasticins contribute significantly to the restorative and balancing effects of Kambo medicine. Together, Plasticins and Phylloseptins complement one another, amplifying their ability to protect, cleanse, and fortify the body at a cellular level.
Their synergistic action highlights Kambo's unique therapeutic potential in promoting immune resilience and holistic healing.
13 Sauvagine
Sauvagine mimics corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), a key regulator of the body's stress response system. It interacts with the pituitary-adrenal axis, influencing the release of cortisol, the primary stress hormone. Sauvagine also affects the cardiovascular and digestive systems, contributing to shifts in heart rate, blood pressure, and gastrointestinal activity during a Kambo session.
Participants may initially experience a heightened stress response, including an elevated heart rate and increased alertness, as the body mobilizes its resources. However, this is often followed by a profound sense of calm and emotional release as cortisol levels stabilize post-session. This peptide's ability to balance the stress response, regulate adrenal activity, and support emotional resilience highlights its essential role in Kambo's therapeutic and transformative effects.
14 Tachykinins
Tachykinins function as both neurotransmitters and neuromodulators in the central and peripheral nervous systems. In the brain, they play key roles in regulating movement, emotional processing, reward pathways, and stress responses, contributing to emotional resilience and mental balance.
In the gastrointestinal system, tachykinins regulate motor activity, secretion of digestive fluids, and neurogenic inflammation, supporting gut motility, digestion, and immune responses within the gut lining. Their ability to bridge neurological and gastrointestinal functions highlights their critical role in maintaining overall nervous system harmony, emotional well-being, and digestive health.
15 Tryptophyllins
Tryptophyllins are recognized for their involvement in the regulation and synthesis of proteins, muscle tissue, enzymes, and neurotransmitters. These peptides are gaining increasing attention in emerging research, offering valuable insights into brain function, neuroplasticity, and neurogenesis—the process of forming new neurons in the brain.
Their unique biochemical properties suggest potential roles in enhancing cognitive function, supporting neural repair, and modulating neurotransmitter activity, all of which are critical for emotional stability, mental clarity, and overall neurological resilience. While their effects may not be immediately apparent during a Kambo session, their contribution to long-term brain health and recovery is significant. As scientific exploration continues, Tryptophyllins are reshaping our understanding of the intricate relationship between neuropeptides, brain chemistry, and the body's natural healing processes.
