What is a Kambo Stick?
A Kambo stick is a tool used in a traditional Amazonian healing ritual that involves applying the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, commonly known as the Giant Monkey Frog. Indigenous tribes from the Amazon rainforest have used this natural secretion for centuries, believing in its powerful detoxifying and purifying effects on the body and mind. The secretion is collected from the frog without harming it and then dried on a wooden stick, hence the name “Kambo stick.” The dried substance is later activated with water and applied to small burns on the skin during Kambo ceremonies.
Benefits and Uses of Kambo
Kambo is renowned for its potential to cleanse the body of toxins and provide relief from physical ailments such as chronic pain, infections, and fatigue. Participants in Kambo ceremonies often report heightened mental clarity and emotional balance. The secretion contains peptides that may support the immune system and promote healing. However, Kambo should only be administered by trained practitioners, as the process can be intense, triggering temporary side effects like nausea and sweating. Despite this, Kambo is gaining popularity in wellness communities as a natural way to reset the body and mind. Rapé
