Kambo is the name given to the traditional Shamanic frog poison cleanse that is used to strengthen and heal the mind, body and spirit. The scientific name for this frog is Phyllomedusa bicolor or “Giant Monkey Frog”.Over recent years there has been much interest in the secretion as it contains powerful bio-active peptides that hold the power to heal the body, mind and spirit. The spirit of Kambo h
as been used traditionally amongst many tribes in the jungle and is now finding it’s way out into the Western world, empowering many to reconnect to their truth and heal their bodies. Traditional use of Kambo:
Each tribe has its own way of taking and giving Kambo, but was commonly used for three reasons. Kambo was used to enhance the minds and bodies of hunters. After receiving the frog medicine, hunters were able to run faster and longer, eat less, sleep less and it was believed that Kambo made the hunters “invisible” to the animals they were hunting due to Kambo’s ability to remove their “human smell” for a period of time. A second use amongst indigenous peoples was as a medicine. It is used to treat Malaria, infections, and snake bites amongst other illnesses the tribespeople encountered. Lastly, Kambo was used to clear Panema, or dark or negative energy. When Panema is cleared, everything becomes easier, obstacles can be overcome and life flows more naturally. Science of Kambo:
Kambo contains many peptides (short chains of amino acids), many of which are bioactive which means they have an affinity and selectivity for binding with receptor sites in humans. When Kambo enters the body, our cell receptor sites open and allow it to enter the cells. As a natural substance that the body recognizes, Kambo is utilized by the body with no stress to the cells. Some of these peptides are neuropeptides, special peptides that are produced in the brain to help neurons communicate with each other. They can transmit signals with information in several directions and in reverse, they can also act as hormones, neuromodulators, and neuro-hormones. Neuromodulators have the ability to activate and deactivate other neurotransmitters such as Serotonin, Dopamine and Histamine as well as Neuropeptides such as as insulin, oxytocin and vasopressin. A persons mood, energy level, pain, pleasure, weight, cognitive reasoning, ability to form memories, and immune system regulation are all tied to neuropeptides. Some are anti-inflammatory, helping to reduce inflammation, increase collagen and elastin, repair scars and wrinkles and increase circulation. As the study of peptides increases, 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. Studies have also shown that Kambo contains multiple antimicrobial peptides effective against yeast, mold, fungus and bacteria that can become imbalanced in the body. All treatments will be administered by Sarah Pann. Sarah has been trained by Karen Uma Kanya-Darke, founder of the International Association of Kambo Practitioners. Traditional methods are available during your treatment as well as the use of Meridians, Chakras and Auricular forms of Kambo Therapy to target specific concerns and provide deeper work. Sarah’s ceremonies are offered in a sacred space, sensitive to individual needs and include Kambo medicine songs and other supportive practices. She can travel upon request. "By supporting our bodies in releasing both physical and emotional toxicity, Kambo acts a potent catalyst to help us become more of who we truly are and less of what we are not. The absence of this physical and emotional dissonance allows for immense clarity and empowerment so that we may align more deeply with our truth and honor ourselves with greater self love and compassion."
