Kambo is the name given to the waxy secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor, commonly known as the Giant Green Monkey Tree Frog. Indigenous tribes of the Amazon Rainforest have used this secretion for centuries to strengthen the body, mind, and spirit. Traditionally, Kambo is administered as a cleansing ritual to enhance immunity, cure ailments, and remove panema—a term used to describe bad luck, laziness, or negative energy.

Unlike some plant medicines used in indigenous healing, Kambo is not psychoactive. However, it is a deeply purgative therapy, offering detoxification on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. It is legal in the UK and has gained attention for its potential health benefits and traditional significance.

The Giant Green Monkey Tree Frog is native to the upper Amazon Rainforest and is nocturnal. Due to its strong natural defenses, it has very few known predators. When harvested correctly, the frogs are not harmed, ensuring a sustainable and ethical approach to Kambo use.
