What is Kambo?
Kambo, a magnificent ancient healing ritual practiced by indigenous tribes in the Amazonian rainforest that involves the use of the venomous secretion of a frog, Phyllomedusa bicolor, known as ‘pharmaceutical’, is a powerful and complex mixture of bioactive compounds that have been used for centuries to treat a wide range of ailments.
Although from a Western conventional medicine perspective, it is still not typically recognised as a legitimate form of a medical treatment, with its astonishing therapeutic abilities, Kambo has been shown to be an effective remedy for vast array of human health conditions. From pain relief to fever reduction, anxiety and depression, skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, Lyme disease with its neurodegeneration, the list of possible therapeutic benefits is as long as it is impressive.
Traditionally applied through the skin of the arm, ankle, or back, which involves creating small burns called ‘gates’ to access the lymphatic system, reveals its characteristics often described as a path of a warrior as it requires courage and resilience. Once absorbed into the body, Kambo begins to interact with the immune system, stimulating a powerful response that leads to profound healing and rejuvenation.

How should I get prepared for a Kambo application?
Consult your health situation
Consultation is necessary if you have any underlying health conditions, such as heart issues, autoimmune diseases, or mental health disorders, or if you are taking medications, including antidepressants, blood thinners, or any prescription drugs. Certain health conditions and medications can interact negatively with Kambo, increasing the risk of adverse effects.
Get well informed
Take your time and familiarise yourself with what to expect during and after the application. You will find all the necessary information on this website. Speak with someone you know who has experienced Kambo already. Keep an open mindset about the experience. Each person’s journey with Kambo is unique and can yield different results.
Follow the dietary and behavioral guidelines
To take the best advantage of the experience and avoid unnecessary struggle, a specific diet is highly recommended prior to the application. In the days leading up to the ceremony, you are advised to avoid heavy, fatty, or processed foods. Completely abstain from alcohol, recreational drugs, and any casual sexual encounters. Avoid excessive caffeine and sugar. Stay well-hydrated; drinking plenty of water in the days prior is highly encouraged. This dietary and behavioral preparation will help your body to be more receptive to Kambo, positively influencing the difficulty level you may encounter during the application.
Take your time
Take time for self-reflection. Engage in meditation, yoga, breathwork, or sport to prepare yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally for the experience. Consider what you want to achieve from the Medicine. Allow yourself to be touched by feelings of respect and gratitude for what you wish to receive. Setting clear intention will guide your journey.
Maintain a completely empty stomach
Approach Kambo with a completely empty stomach. Have your last meal at least 12 hours before the application, ideally a light meal composed of fruits and vegetables. Understand that Kambo will cause purging (vomiting), sweating, or other intense physical reactions. Be mentally prepared for this, and work on setting aside your shame and need for control.
Plan for aftercare
Have a plan for resting and recovery after the ceremony. This may include a quiet space, support from friends or family, and time to process and integrate your experience.

Kambo application along Traditional Chinese Medicine’s meridians
Kambo application along TCM's meridians represents a groundbreaking fusion of
traditional healing practices from two vastly different ancient cultures, Amazonian shamanism and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). By combining this sacred tribal medicine with the theoretical framework of TCM’s meridians, this innovative understanding seeks to amplify the powerful effects of both modalities. By stimulating the meridians in a way that is both intuitive and evidence-based, this unique perspective unlocks new, unexplored possibilities.
'Therapeutische Reflexologie' is proud to offer two unconventional approaches that
harness the potential of Kambo and TCM in one treatment: Yin-Yang polarities balancing and emotional release application. These techniques have the ability to revolutionise our understanding of holistic healing, and in their essence they offer ways to contribute to numerous aspects of physical, emotional and psychosomatic health and well-being.
When considering the application of Kambo along Yin versus Yang meridians,
the intention is to influence the body’s energies, mental and emotional structure, as well as physiological processes in different ways, according to the qualities and functions of Yin and Yang.
Applying Kambo along Yin meridians focuses on nourishing and supprting the body's
internal structures and functions, aiming to enhance the qualities associated with Yin polarity – cooling, calming, and nurturing. You may choose to apply Kambo along a Yin meridian to address issues related to depletion, restlessness, heat, and overactivity, promoting a sense of grounding, moisture, and tranquility in the body. In contrast, applying Kambo along a Yang meridian can be aimed at stimulating and activating the body’s energy and functions, encouraging warmth, movement, and the transformation of substances. This method might be used to counteract conditions of cold, stagnation, weakness, and procrastination, boosting a sense of purpose, vitality, activity, and dynamism.
In Chinese medicine, the twelve main meridians are linked to specific organs,
each associated with a set of particular emotions. When these emotions become imbalanced, they can manifest as physical symptoms, in our Western terminology a phenomenon known as ‘psychosomnia’. For instance, the liver meridian, associated with anger, frustration, and resentment, in the physical body can manifest as skin issues, vision problems, and tendons’ lack of flexibility. Similarly, the spleen meridian’s connection to overthinking, worrying, and fear of not being good enough can lead to poor blood production, impaired immune function, and disturbed digestion. By applying Kambo along these meridians, we aim to balance and harmonise the flow of life energy (Qi) passing them through, releasing the emotional imprints that are the root cause of physical and emotional suffering.
How does a Kambo application look like?
The basic ground
Despite its semi-medical approach, a Kambo application is predominantly a ceremonial process that evokes a level of focus and determination. It is performed in a tranquil, supportive environment, either at the Practice or in the comfort of your own home, depending on your preference.
The interview
The process begins with an interview during which we carefully investigate any potential energetic blocks, along with their physical and emotional symptoms. Based on this assessment, a specific meridian in your body will be identified for the application. As we will talk, your goals and reasons will become clearer to you. By emotionally and energetically connecting with the feelings that arise within you, we already begin to work simultaneously on three different levels: your mind, your emotions, and your body. Following this, we can set a specific intention for the upcomig process.
The gates
Next, small, superficial burns, referred to as ‘gates’, are created along the desiganted meridian using a heated wooden stick to access your lymphatic system. Their number is adjusted with care, taking into consideration your experience, gender, physical constitution, and age.
The water
During this time, you will begin to drink an amount of approximately 2 liters of water.
The application
Once these points are made, the Kambo secretion is delivered directly to them using a single-use surgeon’s blade. There is no bleeding at any point of the treatment, and none of the tools involved are reused with any other person. Within a minute, as the secretion is absorbed by your lymph, the process begins.
The purge
You may experience intense effects such as increased heart rate and blood pressure, sweating, nausea, and a strong urge to vomit, all part of a rapid detoxification process often referred to as the ‘purge’ phase. This purging may involve not only vomiting but also diarrhea, serving as a crucial mechanism for releasing both physical toxins and emotional blockages.
The aftercare
The Kambo aftercare protocol involves several important steps to ensure a safe and effective recovery. After the application, it is essential to hydrate thoroughly with water or herbal teas to aid in the detoxification process that Kambo initiates and to restore the body’s electrolyte balance. Rest is crucial; take time to relax and allow your body to recover. Avoid stressful situations and intense physical activities, even if you feel incredibly energised. Be mindful that, in this heightened state, it is easy to overestimate your abilities. Do not introduce any new sexual partners into your system – it will act like a sponge, absorbing all the unwanted imprints. Remember to maintain your balance; respect and appreciate what you have been given. You’ve worked hard for it, so don’t let it go to waste. Eat only light, nutritious meals that do not challenge your digestion, focusing on easily digestible foods like fruits and vegetables. Avoid fatty, highly processed dishes, alcohol, refined sugar, caffeine, and nicotine for a few days post-ceremony to allow your organism to recalibrate. Remember that each application is unique, and your physical reactions may vary widely each time. Lastly, listen to your body and respond to its needs as long as they remain within the bounds of the aforementioned guidelines.

The experience of Kambo has the ability to evoke a boundary state in which our defensive mechanisms are naturally shed. By confronting deep-seated emotions and releasing psychological barriers, this transformative rite induces a cathartic release, giving an opportunity to view personal circumstances within a broader context of Life.

- Compromised kidney or liver function,
- Anxiety disorders,
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),
- Borderline Personality.
How is Kambo collected?
Kambo secretion is collected through a gentle and respectful process of milking the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog. This collection occurs in the frog’s natural habitat, where indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest carefully stimulate the frog’s skin to excrete the venom without harming it. Traditionally, this is done by lightly scraping the frog’s skin, causing to release the secretion, which is collected on small wooden sticks or glass surfaces. The frog is then returned unharmed to its environment.
A more modern approach to collection involves ultrasonography, a non-invasive technique used in more controlled medical settings. Researchers use this technique to explore the physiological processes that cause the frog to release the venom for study purposes.
The collected secretion is then dried and secured for later use, eventually arriving like this in Europe.
What can I expect after the Kambo application?
What are the possible physical reactions during a Kambo application?

After the application, you can experience a range of symptoms usually related to the detoxification process that your body is undergoing. These include:
- Headache,
- Fatigue,
- Foggy thinking,
- Increased emotionality,
- Digestive issues.
Is Kambo painful?
Kambo is challenging and pushes your body, mind and emotions intensely out of your comfort zone. While some may describe it as painful, it is not like the sharp, pinpoint pain you might feel from a cut or injury. Instead, the discomfort often comes as a feeling of sickness or nausea. When Kambo is applied, you will feel a heavy sensation in your body, along with heat, increased blood pressure, and a racing heart rate. This will be followed by an urge to vomit, which plays an important part in the detox process that Kambo initiates. While you will find the experience intense, it is temporary; once the discomfort passes, you will feel an overwhelming sense of relief, clarity and appreciation.
How should I get prepared for the Kambo application?
Consult yor medications. It is necessary if you have any underlying health conditions, such as heart issues, autoimmune diseases, or mental health disorders, or if you are taking medications, including antidepressants, blood thinners, or any prescription drugs. Certain health conditions and medications can interact negatively with Kambo, increasing the risk of adverse effects.
Take your time and familiarise yourself with what to expect during and after the application. You will find all the necessary information on this website. Speak with someone you know who has experienced Kambo already. Keep an open mindset about the experience. Each person’s journey with Kambo is unique and can yield different results.

Have a plan for resting and recovery after the ceremony. This may include a quiet space, support from friends or family, and time to process and integrate your experience.
How often can (should) I receive Kambo?
The frequency of receiving Kambo is highly dependent on several factors. If you are new to Kambo, it is advisable to begin with a single application to assess your individual ability and response. If you are aware of your body and emotions, as well as the limitations associated with them, even a single application can lead to a significant difference in how you experience yourself.
The situation is different if you aim to achieve a specific therapeutic result in the context of addiction, food disorders, or illnesses for which you are seeking alternative or complementary therapy alongside the conventional treatments you are undergoing. In such cases, the number of Kambo applications will depend on your individual health context and the advancement of your conventional pharmacological therapy. Each case should, therefore, be considered individually. For more information, please reach out for a personalised consultation.

- Fatigue,
- Foggy thinking,
- Increased emotionality,
- Digestive issues.
Is Kambo safe?
Unlike the regular Kambo application, where a varying number of ‘gates’ is used for the secretion absorption, the first application begins with only one ‘gate’. This practice ensures safety and minimises any possible adverse effects. Furthermore, the first application continues progressively, which means that every couple of minutes, two more ‘gates’ will be added until the therapeutic response is achieved. This technique calibrates one’s organism’s endurance and its defensive capabilities.

This dietary and behavioral preparation will help your body to be more receptive to Kambo, positively influencing the difficulty level you may encounter during the application.
Take time for self-reflection. Engage in meditation, yoga, breathwork, or sport to prepare yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally for the experience. Consider what you want to achieve from the Medicine. Allow yourself to be touched by feelings of respect and gratitude for what you wish to receive. Setting clear intention will guide your journey.
Approach Kambo with a completely empty stomach. Have your last meal at least 12 hours before the application, ideally a light meal composed of fruits and vegetables. Understand that Kambo will cause purging (vomiting), sweating, or other intense physical reactions. Be mentally prepared for this, and work on setting aside your shame and need for control.
Have a plan for resting and recovery after the ceremony. This may include a quiet space, support from friends or family, and time to process and integrate your experience.

How often can (should) I receive Kambo?
The frequency of receiving Kambo is highly dependent on several factors. If you are new to Kambo, it is advisable to begin with a single application to assess your individual ability and response. If you are aware of your body and emotions, as well as the limitations associated with them, even a single application can lead to a significant difference in how you experience yourself.
The situation is different if you aim to achieve a specific therapeutic result in the context of addiction, food disorders, or illnesses for which you are seeking alternative or complementary therapy alongside the conventional treatments you are undergoing. In such cases, the number of Kambo applications will depend on your individual health context and the advancement of your conventional pharmacological therapy. Each case should, therefore, be considered individually. For more information, please reach out for a personalised consultation.
