In Western culture Kambô has been used as a detox for it’s incredible anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and potent analgesic effects along with removing energetic blockages allowing us to truly thrive as our authentic selves. Kambô is 100% legal and does not cause a psychedelic experience.
Receiving the tobacco snuff Rapé (pronounced “Ha-peh”) is part of the Kambô ceremony.
An Italian scientist, Vittorio Erspamer of the University of Rome was the first person to analyse Kambô in a laboratory. In 1986, he wrote that it contains a ‘fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications, unequalled by any other amphibian’.
The chemicals he referred to are bioactive peptides. The peptides studied by Erspamer have become essential to characterize the functional role of opioid receptors. He was twice nominated for a Nobel Prize and was also the person who first discovered Serotonin. Sixteen bioactive peptides have since been isolated from the secretion and several have been synthesized. Currently there are over 70 Kambô patents lodged, mainly in the USA.
A bioactive peptide means that the amino acid chain performs a specific biological function that has a positive impact on the human body. Kambô contains numerous bioactive peptides so when they enter the body the cell receptors open and allow them to enter the cells. As a natural substance that the body recognizes, it unlocks to Kambô at a cellular level with no stress to the cells. It also cleans out deposits left in the cells by foreign substances that the cell was not able to process alone.

Kambo is very safe when given by a properly trained practitioner. However there are some conditions for which Kambo is contraindicated.
This is not an exhaustive list so its important to consult a properly trained and skilled practitioner if you have any concerns. Suitability for Kambo may occasionally depend on the constitution of the person receiving Kambo.
