Kambo

kambo chiangmai
What Is Kambo?

Kambo is a traditional Medicine used by many indigenous tribes in the Amazon basin for the last several hundred years, and more than likely much longer. Kambo is the venomous secretion of Phyllomedusa bicolor (the giant leaf or monkey frog) – a bright green tree frog, and is a medicine that is traditionally used to detoxify the body, cleanse the mind, open and connect one together with nature, improve hunting abilities, vaccinate against and treat various diseases, and ultimately and most importantly, to connect directly with the great Spirit.

What Its Used For?

Today, Kambo is being used for many of these same reasons in the modern world, and a variety of protocols are being developed to help people treat a wide variety of debilitating mental and physiological conditions and diseases, including depression, lyme disease, HIV, and even certain forms of cancer. Finally, while Kambo often elicits a physically oriented experience initially, as one works with the medicine more, the experience also changes and deepens, often becoming much more subtle and energetically/spiritually oriented.

How Kambo Is Used

Kambo is applied to the body via small burn marks made to the skin, often called Kambo dots or gates. The medicine initially elicits a wide variety of “cleansing and detoxing” symptoms, which often include some amount of purging (vomiting), as well as sweating, crying, or physical tremoring. These release valves, it is said, are the process by which Kambo elicits its mind/body healing effects through a massive discharge of accumulated tension, stress, and toxins from the physical body. Scientifically, you could say that Kambo is very much a nervous system oriented medicine, effectively down-regulating the body and putting one into a more parasympathetic state of being, helping the individual to recalibrate and find homeostasis again. Metaphysically, the indigenous believe that Kambo opens up ones energy field by removing Panema, or bad luck, from a persons field, thereby realigning their spirit with the positive energy of nature and the cosmos more and more overtime.

What is a Kambo Ceremony?

A Kambo ceremony is an intense yet deeply purifying experience using the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, a peptide-rich healing agent known for its powerful detoxifying and immune-boosting properties.

 

The ceremony begins with an hour of preparation, including breathwork and a serving of Rapéh to center the mind and body. When it’s time for the Kambo, small burns are made on the skin to apply the medicine, and we work therapeutically with a test dose to ensure a safe and aligned experience. The effects come on quickly, often inducing purging, sweating, and a deep physical and energetic release.

 

After the ceremony, post-integration care is provided to support emotional processing, grounding, and alignment with the healing experience. Many report increased vitality, mental clarity, and emotional resilience in the days following.

 

What is a Bufo Ceremony?

A Bufo ceremony is a profound and transformative experience using the venom of the Bufo alvarius toad, which contains 5-MeO-DMT, one of the most powerful naturally occurring psychedelics. This medicine induces a rapid and intense non-dual state, often described as complete ego dissolution and a deep sense of unity with all existence.

 

The ceremony begins with breathwork and a Rapéh serving to center and prepare the body and mind. When it’s time for the Bufo, we work therapeutically with a test dose, ensuring a safe and supportive experience. The effects come on within seconds, leading to a deeply immersive journey that can facilitate emotional release, spiritual awakening, and profound healing.

 

After the ceremony, post-integration care is provided to help process insights, ground back into the body, and integrate the experience into daily life. Many report lasting emotional breakthroughs, a deepened sense of peace, and a renewed perspective on life.

What is a Yage Ceremony?

A Yage ceremony is a deeply transformative experience using a sacred plant medicine made from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and Psychotria viridis leaves. The brew contains DMT and MAO inhibitors, inducing a powerful psychedelic journey that lasts 5 to 6 hours. Yage helps access deep subconscious layers, bringing emotional release, spiritual insight, and profound healing.

 

The preparation for the ceremony begins in the morning with a Kambo session, a powerful peptide-rich medicine that detoxifies the body and clears energetic blockages, creating an optimal state for receiving Yage.

 

The ceremony itself is held in a sacred space with trained facilitators. Icaros, traditional healing songs, are sung throughout the night to guide and deepen the experience. As the medicine works, individuals may encounter visions, emotional purging, and profound personal or spiritual revelations.

 

After the ceremony, post-integration care is provided to help process insights, ground emotions, and integrate healing into daily life. Many leave with a sense of renewal, clarity, and a deeper connection to themselves and the universe.

 

What is an Iboga Ceremony?

An Iboga ceremony is a powerful and deeply introspective healing experience using the root bark of the iboga plant, traditionally used in Bwiti spiritual practices. Iboga is a psychedelic known for its ability to provide profound self-inquiry, emotional healing, and a complete nervous system reset. The experience lasts 12 to 24 hours, guiding participants through deep inner journeys and life reviews.

 

Preparation for the ceremony begins with a morning Kambo session, a peptide-rich medicine that detoxifies the body and clears stagnant energy, creating an optimal state for receiving Iboga.

 

The ceremony is conducted in a safe, supportive setting with experienced facilitators. Unlike other psychedelics, Iboga brings a lucid, waking dream state where participants often receive direct teachings from their subconscious or spiritual guides. The experience can be intense but offers deep emotional healing, trauma release, and clarity on life path and purpose.

 

After the ceremony, post-integration care is provided to support grounding, nervous system recovery, and the integration of insights into daily life. Many experience a deep sense of mental clarity, emotional resilience, and a renewed connection to their true self.

What Our Guests Say

“After that initial day of going through heavy detoxing, my energy returned and I felt so good. Since then I have advanced a lot in my meditation practice, and to a point, I felt that I was at least a year away from it. I don’t believe in coincidences like this, so for sure I believe the Kambo played some role in helping me! I also had some really strange dreams, which I guess is related, as well as intensified synchronistic events in my life, and at a much higher probability than normal. So for me, this is all very good news and very exciting times. Thank you again, Maxwell!”

Kambo Experiencer

“Hello, I’m Caspar, 31 years old and I live in Germany. I have never tried anything spiritual. After getting to know Maxwell, I finally wanted to do something good for my body with Kambo! In my 20s I celebrated a lot, among other things often, and drank a lot of alcohol. Without exaggerating I was a little alcoholic. Maxwell and Melinda looked after me lovingly from the first second and I tolerated Kambo very well. Immediately afterward I spat out green liquid, which indicates cleaning the liver; I felt very strong and focused, and now I eat very healthily unlike before! I haven’t seen any alcohol since then. I am very happy to have Maxwell by my side and I felt so safe at all times. Thank you, Maxwell, you helped make me a healthy person now.”
