We are currently based in London where we offer Kambo from our premises. However, we are able to offer Kambo anywhere in the globe provided its at a suitable, safe location, free from noise and distractions. Please contact us to discuss if interested.

Kambo is a secretion produced by the Giant Amazonian Tree Frog phyllomedusa bicolor.which lives in the upper areas of the Amazon Rainforest. It has no natural predators – even snakes spit it back out if they swallow them. The IUCN database lists them in the ‘Least Concern’ category in view of their wide distribution and large population. Kambo is completely legal everywhere in the world. The only restriction that exists is in Brazil where it is forbidden to advertise or market Kambo to restrict biopiracy.

Kambo frogs are found high in trees near the Igarapés (rainforest waterways) where they gather to sing and announce the rain. They are generally harvested at dawn by the Indians who also sing and imitate the frogs’ song. Click on the player to the right to hear a sample of their song. The frogs are very passive and do not react negatively when picked up, possibly because they have no predators. The frogs are carefully tied by each leg with straw strings into an X shape. Sometimes the shaman will massage the toes to encourage the secretion which is then carefully scraped off and dried on small sticks. After it is released the frog returns to its habitat none the worse for wear. The strings leaves a tiny white line on each leg which stops anyone from harvesting the frog again until it has faded which takes at 2-3 months. The frog is never harmed but treated with utmost care and respect as the people believe that to harm the frog will anger the animal spirits that they live so closely with. Kambo collected in this way is considered 100% ethically harvested. Kambo frogs that are held in a laboratory environment or squeezed or harmed in any way during the harvesting process are not considered to be ethically harvested.

The use of Kambo differs amongst tribes but the main indigenous uses revolve around lifting Panema – an indigenous name for dark or negative energy and for Hunting Magic – they believe it their speed and energy during hunting and that it makes the hunter invisible by temporarily eliminating their human odour. There are many ways they use it medicinally too, including: malaria, snake bites, fevers, infections, fertility problems, to cleanse, detox and strengthen the mind and body, to increase energy and stamina and to reduce pain. Outside of the forest, Kambo has been the subject of nearly three decades of medical research. As with venoms from snakes and scorpions, researchers believe that Kambo will open up a new world of treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Pain, Cancer, HIV, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, Depression, Vascular problems, Hepatitis, Diabetes, Rheumatism, Arthritis, Addictions and much, much more. Their work consists of attempting to identify, isolate and reproduce the incredible and unique chemical cocktail that Kambo is. It contains dozens of Peptides (short chains of amino acids), some of them bioactive which means they have an affinity and selectivity for binding with receptor sites in humans (A receptor is like a lock that, when opened with the right key—the bioactive peptide—triggers specific chemical reactions in the body). The peptide families represented in Kambo include bradykinins (phyllokinin), tachykinins (phyllomedusin), caerulein, sauvagine, tryptophyllins, dermorphins, deltorphins and bombesins. Recent studies have shown that Kambo contains multiple antimicrobial peptides effective against drug resistant strains of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasites and virus, providing opportunities for the development of new and more efficient nanotechnological-based therapies for treating infectious diseases. Several years of ongoing research by the University of Paris have shown Kambo to be super effective at killing cancer cells and Queens University in Belfast recently won a prestigious award for their ground breaking work with cancer and frog secretions. Kambo is one of the strongest natural anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antimicrobial and anaesthetic substances found in the world and one of the strongest, natural ways to strengthen the immune system. It also detoxes the liver and the intestines so it’s a powerful cleanser. Immediate and short term effects include enhanced mood, alertness, clarity, focus, energy and increased resistance to stress, tiredness, hunger and thirst. The mind becomes still, you feel lighter and everything becomes easier to manage. In the longer term, Kambo empowers the immune system, rousing the body’s defence systems to their natural functions so that existing health problems are improved or resolved and future ones are less likely to occur. In spiritual terms, Kambo works in a mystical fashion as a light that opens the way, helping us to overcome obstacles and release blockages on an emotional level. It clears our energy field and realigns the chakras enabling us to break negative habits and live and think more naturally. Despite the billions of pounds/euros and dollars being poured into researching and developing mainstream synthetic medication from Phyllomedusa Bicolour frog secretions, no one has yet managed to reproduce the original! Kambo in its original, natural form is a holistic treatment that works on the mind, body, energy and spirit at all levels in ways that we don’t completely understand yet. The native peoples of the Amazon are quite right to use the word ‘magic’ when describing this substance.

Kambo is 100% safe in the right hands as long as there are no pre-existing health conditions (see contraindications on the contact section) and all the existing health conditions are disclosed before the treatment. This applies to all medicines, natural or pharmaceutical, there are always contraindications. Not only is it important for the person giving Kambo to understand these contraindications but it is also important for people taking Kambo to disclose all there health issues to the practitioner. In this way, we can ensure that no mistakes happen. Kambo is not for everyone. Also be aware that if you are travelling in South America and seek out a remote tribe to take Kambo with, that they may not have full knowledge of western health conditions so be very careful in these situations.

Kambo is totally safe when given by a properly trained practitioner however there are some conditions for which Kambo is contraindicated, including: People who: Have serious heart problems. Are on medication for low blood pressure. Have had a stroke. Have had a brain hemorrhage. Have had aneurisms or blood clots. Lack the mental capacity to make the decision to take Kambo. Have serious mental health problems excluding depression, PTSD and anxiety. Are undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or for 4 weeks afterwards. Take immune-suppressants for organ transplant. Have Addison’s Disease Have current and severe Epilepsy Are recovering from a major surgical procedure Are pregnant or maybe so or are breast-feeding a child under 6 months old This is not an exhaustive list so it’s important to consult a properly trained and skilled practitioner if you have any serious health issue. Sometimes it depends on the stage of a disease or the constitution of the person receiving Kambo. Treatment cannot be given to under 18-years-old, pregnant or breastfeeding women with babies under 1 year old. People who have had a stroke, those with serious heart problems, transplant patients or people taking medication for very low blood pressure cannot safely take Kambo. If you are menstruating at the time of treatment, Kambo may well cause the flow to increase for 24-36 hours because it contains powerful Vasodilators. If you are Asthmatic, ensure that you have your inhaler with you. If you are Diabetic, it’s important to discuss your treatment in advance. You must inform us if you have ever or are currently suffering from a mental health condition, regardless of whether you are taking medication. The only exception to this is depression. In most cases it is usually completely safe for you to continue taking your normal medication but please discuss this beforehand.

All first-time users will be tested for sensitivity before treatments. Your reaction along with the practitioner’s experience, intuition and connection with the spirit of the medicine will determine the eventual number of points you receive.

Kambo should always be taken with a properly trained person administering and supervising the treatments always. Kambo is intense but fast. The unpleasant effects are strong and immediate but over within 30 - 40 minutes. The dried Kambo is mixed with a small amount of water and divided into small dots. Then small points called gates are placed into the surface of the skin. The points are approximately 1/8” across but can be smaller or slightly larger depending on the treatment. The top thin layer of skin is blistered with a hot stick and the skin is peeled off to expose the epidermis underneath. The number and position of the points varies from person to person depending on individual needs. If you have a series of treatments in the same session, the same points are reused. The Kambo enters directly into the Lymphatic System so the effect is very fast. Most people experience a warm to hot flush on the upper body and face along with increased heart rate. Kambo is not psychoactive so does not produce hallucinations but can produce a short-altered state of reality in some people and many people receive insights and messages about living a healthier life. Then you will purge all the toxins out. The burn marks will heal and fade with time but depending on your skin colour and type you may always have small visible scars.

At the beginning of the ceremony there will be time to discuss further, ask questions and set intentions. If you have specific health problems then you may wish to discuss these privately beforehand. Kambo is intense and fast, the effects are strong and immediate and usually lasts 30 to 40 minutes. The dried Kambo secretion is mixed with a small amount of water and divided into small dots. The skin is blistered with a hot stick and then the Kambo points are applied. Most people experience a warm to hot flush in the upper body and face along increased heart rate. People will act in a different way, some people will feel dizzy or spaced out, the occasional person will shake or faint, some people will have swollen face or feel tingling. Once the Kambo has cleaned the body, the person will purge all toxins out.

Unfortunately, there is no single answer as everyone can react differently. However, most clients feel energised and often we hear that they have slept well after a session which is a good indication that the treatment has had a positive effect and toxins are moving out of the body. we will provide some after-care advice to help maximise the treatment and suggestions as to how you might continue to work on any areas that have come to the surface. You may feel tired and feel the need to rest but usually within 1 hour you will feel much better to drink and eat normally. Within a day depending on your health you may proceed with your daily activities. ​

Kambo is not psychoactive, but it can produce a very short altered state of reality in some people, and many people receive insights and messages about a healthier life during this minutes.

Most people see their Kambo scars as a badge of honour. The same points can be reused after 2- 3 months. After the dots of Kambo are removed, the points are dressed with Dragons Blood (a natural tree sap). This helps them to heal faster and ensures they stay free from infection until they scab naturally & heal faster.

Kambo can be sourced from some of the Panoan tribes and also over the internet. We do not advocate self-administration unless you know exactly what you are doing and why you are doing it. Before you buy Kambo from anyone, check that you know where it is coming from, how it is harvested and who is benefiting from the inevitable financial exchange. It is of vital importance that the indigenous people of the Upper Amazon benefit from the sale and use of their medicines.

Pregnancy is a contraindication.

During consultation discuss this with the practitioner and they can determine if and when Kambo treatment would be advised and arrange your treatment plan accordingly.

The course of treatments varies in length and frequency as it depends on each client's needs. This will be agreed after the first treatment. Recently acquired health problems may be improved quite quickly but long-standing problems may take longer to address and so several sessions may be more helpful; just as with conventional medicine, a course of treatment is often needed. Typically, 6 weekly treatments allow for effective assessment of the treatment for a client. Acute problems may benefit from frequent, short sessions Once the body is in tune reflexology may be used to maintain energy and well being and may also be used as a preventative to illness. Many clients have attended Energy Benefits for over twelve years and really feel the benefits of Reflexology have a “Monthly Fix”.

No, Kambo is only administered to over 18 year old individuals.
