What is Kambo?

Kambo is a peptide cocktail; a secretion containing over 100 peptides, each one having a different function in the body (more about peptides HERE). Although there is a common misconception about the medicine, it is NOT a frog poison, as it is often described. A poison or toxin is defined as something that is hepatoxic (damages the liver), but there is NO toxic activity from kambo. In fact, it is a very efficient liver detox, and I like to describe the liver as a pool that goes without being cleaned for however many years we are alive. Kambo is also a systemic anti-inflammatory, and inflammation is at the root of so many health issues, both mental and physical. This section will outline the many different aspects and explain the complexities of what this medicine is, and what it does for us, in mind, body and spirit. 

 Energetic Implications of Kambo

Kambo is multidimensional healing modality in and of itself. It facilitates transformation across the dimensions of the physical, spiritual, emotional, mental, and energetic. Sickness and health BOTH are produced from the body, mind and spirit. The only difference between a living body and a corpse is the energy and spirit interacting with it, and its ability to move through the vessel and reach all of its parts. When we have spots where energy cannot flow through, stagnation and illness result. These spots are caused from trauma, either emotional, mental or physical, but there is interplay between.

The ancient peoples of all cultures knew of the energetic aspect of the body, and it is called by many names. Kundalini, Qi(Chi), Prana, Ka, mana, aether all refer to varying aspects of the energy channels that move through the body keeping it well and alive. The healers of the ancient world knew that true and lasting healing could not be facilitated unless these energetic aspects were addressed. Kambo restores balance and moves itself into “cold spots”, or blockages in our energetic bodies. Its focus is on the restoration of the original, healthful state of the body rather than ONLY working as a medicine, sending a dose of something to assist with alleviation of symptoms (although it certainly does this, as well). It allows the body to produce what it needs, gets the wheels turning and reinvigorates the flow necessary to create lasting health and miraculous healing from within. 

 

I believe sacred plant/spirit medicines have the ability to heal on a DNA level. Not to change our DNA, but to RESTORE it to its original blueprint. Our sick, poisoned, and hurting world systems have been targeting, damaging and modifying our DNA from all angles, including vaccinations and endocrine destroying chemicals in the air, food, GMO’s, tap water, household products, micro-plastic fabrics and pharmaceuticals. Most of the things that destroy the human have become so normal that we don’t even think about them, and many of us are simply unaware. There is no escaping any of it at this juncture, so my approach is to rid the body of the toxins we do have the control to eliminate, bring awareness to our lifestyle choices, and to strengthen and fortify from the inside out. Once we have a clean vessel, we ourselves become efficient filtration systems for these ills of the modern world. We may then thrive as our bodies are designed to.
