“Safe, legal and transformative Kambo ceremonies“
Kambo is a traditional medicine used by many of the tribes of the Amazon rainforest. A poison, Kambo is collected from the Phyllomedusa Bicolor frog. Like all of nature, the Kambo frog is revered by the tribes so it is returned to the jungle unharmed after the collection.
When we work with Kambo we are reminded of the common bonds between all life, Kambo is a master of alchemy, often systematically removing our blocks to Spirit. Kambo does this by purifying our personal distortions, impurities found on all five layers of our existence thus not only does Kambo clean our body, it works on the emotional, causal and spiritual levels of our being.
Kambo promotes the understanding of our feelings; by bringing up that which we have suppressed and since long forgotten. By removing these impurities, the reminants of unprocessed and unhealthy feelings from the past, we reveal layer by layer our authentic-self. Kambo clears the path ahead, promoting a deeper understanding of ourselves and everything around us. The clearer we become, the more resonant we get and the more we synchronize with ‘what is’. In this ‘enlightened’ state, happiness and joy are easy, because they are after all your natural state; that which you truly are.
There are many paths of course to uncover understanding; meditation, plant teachers or even a Guru, but Kambo is one of the fastest and most accessible ways of making progress fast. Combining Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda and Kambo has been a revelation for me personally and the focus of my kambo offerings are shifting to reflect that. By taking a holistic approach to the cleansing of mind, body and spirit, with Kambo as an integral part of our practice, our growth is strongly potentiated.
Kambo’s medicine washes away any negative physical and mental energies which deny us a balanced and peaceful life. When we have allowed emotional toxins to thwart our outlook on life, or when we feel swamped, it is surely time for Kambo. Many have described their Kambo experiences as a genuine rebirth, like walking through a portal after which they were never the same again. Post Kambo some people have realized their unrealized dreams and found ways to fulfill their heart’s desires. Kambo helped them to reignite their courage and to acknowledge themselves on a deeper level, letting go of that which was holding them back and allowing them to embrace their highest happiness.
Whether Kambo has you purging, sweating, shaking, crying or in a state of bliss, you can be sure that change is in progress. Over the years I’ve witnessed a vast array of reactions during Kambo, the funniest being “why the hell did I do this”, which after an hour always changes to “that was great, when can I do it again?” After thousands of applications with people of all ages and states of health, Kambo has never failed to deliver a deeply transformative experience.
The frog is a Universal symbol of the embracing of personal power. It reminds us not to become bogged down with day-to-day living. Give the frog and Kambo the support and energy needed to reclaim your true nature and allow yourselves to simply shine.
I was extremely surprised at how beneficial and healing my Kambo ceremonies were. Kambo has helped me to open my heart, let go, and see the power and freedom of the soul. I highly recommend working with Simon because he genuinely loves people and the medicine.
It’s been a month since my Kambo Cleanse with Simon and I feel great! I have a lot more energy in the morning and my immune system seems to be that of a super human.
I was gifted an unbelievable level of mental clarity coupled with a full-body calmness. Ah, this is what it feels like to live without being trapped in your own head! My default mode of anger, frustration, and nervousness had vanished.
Kambo is the best choice I have ever made. It is the most amazing and spiritually awakening process a human can do. If you are searching to speed your evolution and carry a deeper connection to nature and everyone in your life then you have found your next process.
Deep in the Amazon there lives a tribe of indigenous people called the Kaxinawá. They have a legend and it refers to the discovery of Kambo. The story goes that many people in the village had fallen ill and that the tribes medicine man Kampu had tried all his usual jungle medicines but to no avail. In desperation Kampu went into the jungle and sat in isolation drinking Ayahuasca, the master teacher plant, and was shown visions that taught him about the Kambo medicine.
Kampu was told to find one particular frog from the hundreds of frog species native to the Amazon. He was shown how to call to the frog, collect the milky secretion from the frog’s poison glands and how to apply Kambo to the human body.
After the ceremony, Kampu returned to the village where he used his newfound knowledge to heal the tribe with this new and potent Kambo medicine. The name Kambo comes from this incredible shaman Kampu and it’s through the use of Kambo that his spirit lives on.
In modern times several Amazonian tribes (including the Kabxinawá, Yawanawa and the Matses) still use Kambo as their main medicine and these tribes are vital hunters and have a healthy community.
Like Kampu, when we trust in the Divine healing of nature we avoid Pragyapradh (from Ayurveda) or ‘mistake of the intellect’. In pragyapradh we choose to turn our backs on the healing intelligence of nature, thinking that we know better. When we work with Kambo we choose to interact with the Divine force directly, bypassing our minds and consequently we usually experience a deep healing.

Kambo is traditionally used within the tribes for many reasons, physically it is used to defeat malaria, snake bites, fevers, increase fertility and conversely for abortion. It is also used of to reduce body aches and inflammation and to heal viral and bacterial infections.
Perhaps more interestingly though it is used to remove ‘panema’, which the tribes define as dark, heavy or negative energies that manifest as bad luck, illness, depression, laziness, lack of clarity and simply feeling lost. By removing panema, the tribes believe a person is free to move forward and to remove the feeling of being powerless. In some cases this could be associated with the removal of depression and I have seen Kambo shift depression in just a few sessions.
Kambo is sometimes used prior to hunting because it lessens the human smell and thus makes the hunter ‘invisible’ to their quarry. The tribes are well aware of how Kambo increases their speed and endurance which in the jungle gives a huge advantage to a hunter who may have to run for hours in the pursuit of his prey.
Of course before they hunt other prey they must find a Kambo.
Our health improved after Kambo and we are happier and more self confident, loving and kind. We asked forgiveness for the people we hurt, our relationships have been enhanced (family, friends, and coworkers), we are more relaxed, creative and focused in general. We quit coffee, tobacco and junk food. We live more conscious and peaceful, in deep Gratitude with a new lifestyle. Thank you Simon, all of us send you blessings, our deepest gratitude.
Receiving the Kambo medicine from Simon felt so safe, he was there to support me and at the same time he gave me the space I needed to experience the medicine. I love the feeling of serenity that surrounds me after Kambo. So clear and peaceful, within it, it is much easier to choose to love.
It has been almost a year since I received my Kambo from Simon and I will never forget the deep healing I received. I now have the internal tools to go into a state of what I call eternal peace and joy.
I became grounded, anchored, and filled with the knowing of who I am, and my innate worth and beauty. A threshold was crossed, and with such ease and grace. I also continue to feel the medicine working on me.
Thank you very much for being such an excellent facilitator of my first Kambo session. Whenever I have tried a new medicine and immediately feel safe and grounded, I know that I’m in the hands of a maestro – we were all very fortunate to have you as our guide.

It is important to note that there is currently no peer-reviewed papers that prove the peptides in Kambo can help any of these conditions. As Kambo practitioners we have much anecdotal evidence that Kambo does help people greatly, but for the protection of Kambo it is best not to make medical claims until we have the science to back them up. If you would like to do further research on the peptides in Kambo please search for the following peptides:
- Bradykinins (phyllokinin)
- Tachykinins (phyllomedusin)
- Cerulean
- Sauvagine
- Tryptophyllins
- dermorphins
- Deltorphins
- Bombesins
- Andenoregulin
