The Story of Frog Medicine

Kambo ceremony for detoxification and spiritual healing – Bay Area

Deep within the emerald heart of the Amazon rainforest, nestled beneath towering trees and beside the sacred flow of crystalline rivers, dwells the mystical Kambo frog. Not an ordinary amphibian by any means, this vibrant green guardian holds ancient wisdom, a sentinel of powerful medicine that bridges the worlds of spirit and body.

For countless generations, indigenous tribes have honored the Kambo frog, turning to it for healing that reaches far beyond the physical—into realms unseen. The medicine of the Kambo is revered for its ability to pierce through the veils of illness, cleanse the spirit, and rejuvenate life force.

According to an ancient legend, there was once a shaman named Sapã whose village was stricken with a mysterious illness. Though Sapã was a keeper of great knowledge, no remedy could be found in his herbs or chants. Desperation took hold, and he set off on a vision quest, deep into the untamed wilderness, seeking guidance from the spirits of the jungle.

For days, Sapã fasted, prayed, and surrendered to the wisdom of the forest. In a dream, the spirit of the Kambo frog visited him, glowing with the light of a thousand stars. The frog shared its secret: a powerful medicine hidden within its own skin. Guided by the vision, Sapã found the Kambo frog the next day and carefully harvested its secretion, following the sacred instructions from his dream.

Upon applying the medicine to his skin, Sapã underwent an intense purge. The Kambo, with swift precision, cleansed his body and spirit of stagnation and toxins. The healing was immediate. Sapã returned to his people, bearing the gift of Kambo, and through this sacred frog medicine, he restored health and balance to the village.


The Sacred Science of Kambo

Beneath the layers of legend lies a powerful truth—Kambo medicine is both mystical and scientific. The frog’s secretion is a rich blend of bioactive peptides that interact with the human body in profound ways, offering a holistic cleanse that is unmatched.

  • Phyllocaerulein: This peptide stimulates the digestive system, enhancing smooth muscle contractions. It clears out deep-seated toxins from the liver and intestines, bringing forth a purging so potent that it clears physical, emotional, and energetic blockages.

  • Dermorphin: As a powerful natural opioid, this peptide binds to the body’s opioid receptors, alleviating pain and generating a euphoric, expansive state of being. It offers relief from not only physical pain but also from the lingering burdens of emotional wounds.

  • Adenoregulin: This peptide taps into the body's energy regulation systems, connecting directly to adenosine receptors, which are involved in energy management and cellular function. By enhancing cellular vitality, it elevates mood, boosts overall energy, and promotes a sense of well-being.


The Alchemy of Kambo

Kambo is not a medicine of gentle whispers; it moves like a swift wind through the body, cutting through illusions and releasing what no longer serves. The benefits are both immediate and long-lasting, touching every level of being.

  • Detoxification: The potent bioactive peptides in Kambo flush out toxins from the liver, intestines, and lymphatic system, unburdening the body and fortifying the immune system. It clears stagnation, allowing life force energy to flow freely and restoring vitality.

  • Relief from Chronic Pain: The natural opioids within Kambo calm the nervous system and offer deep relief from long-held pain. For those suffering from chronic conditions, Kambo acts as a balm to the body’s aches, reducing inflammation and soothing discomfort.

  • Mental Clarity & Focus: Once the body has purged, a deep mental clarity emerges. The fog lifts, revealing a sharper, more focused mind. Decision-making becomes clearer, the spirit feels lighter, and a renewed sense of purpose is often found.

  • Emotional Resilience: Kambo opens the heart to release old traumas, emotional wounds, and energetic blockages. This process fosters emotional resilience, creating a heart more open to life’s full spectrum, able to face challenges with strength and grace.


The Medicinal Benefits of Kambo

Kambo is a potent natural medicine with antiviral, anti-parasitic, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. It offers a deep, full-body detox, flushing toxins from the liver, intestines, and lymphatic system while supporting and strengthening the immune system.

The bioactive peptides within Kambo not only enhance the body's ability to combat infections, viruses, and illnesses but also have profound anti-inflammatory effects, helping to alleviate chronic pain and reduce inflammation throughout the body.

Kambo also improves circulation and heart function, supporting cardiovascular health while promoting mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical vitality.

This holistic medicine works on multiple levels, cleansing, rejuvenating, and realigning the body, mind, and spirit.


Enhancing the Ceremony with Hape, Sananga & Sacred Rose

In the sacred Kambo ceremony, additional medicines weave their energies to support the healing journey. Each tool works in harmony, amplifying the medicine’s potency and offering deeper layers of healing and connection.

Hape (pronounced ha-peh) is a sacred snuff made from finely ground medicinal tobacco and healing plants, used for centuries by Amazonian tribes for its profound ability to cleanse, ground, and realign on emotional, spiritual, and physical levels.

Emotionally, Hape opens the heart, clearing stored blocks, grief, and stagnant energy, allowing for deep release and self-reflection.

Spiritually, it grounds you in the present moment, enhancing clarity, spiritual vision, and connection to ancestral wisdom.

Physically, Hape detoxifies the body, clears the sinuses, and promotes vitality by aligning you with your natural rhythms, offering a deep sense of balance and renewal.

Sananga Eye Drops: Known as the “Eye of the Jaguar,” Sananga is applied directly to the eyes, piercing through veils of illusion and sharpening spiritual vision.

It enhances the ability to see beyond the physical realm, clears distortions in perception, and brings profound clarity to both inner and outer sight.

Additionally, Sananga is believed to cleanse blocked energies, improve focus, and promote overall well-being by aligning vision with higher spiritual truth.

The Sacred Rose weaves its gentle yet profound energy into the ceremony, opening pathways to the heart and facilitating deep emotional healing.

The Rose symbolizes divine love, purity, and the unfolding mysteries of the universe.

When combined with Kambo, the Rose nurtures and balances the intensity of the experience, allowing the heart to soften and heal as the body undergoes its powerful purge.

The presence of the Rose in ceremony is a reminder of love’s ability to transform and transmute, offering grace and harmony through the journey.


Who This is For

Kambo Ceremonies are for those who feel called to experience a potent and sacred form of healing that goes beyond the ordinary. The reasons for seeking Kambo can be as varied and unique as the individuals themselves. This medicine works on multiple levels—physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic—addressing the many facets of our human experience.

Deep Cleansing and Detoxification: You feel a need to purify your body and mind, release toxins, and restore your life force. Kambo acts as a powerful cleanser, purging not only physical toxins but also clearing emotional and energetic blockages that may be stored in the body.

Breaking Through Stagnation or Feeling Stuck: Perhaps you are feeling stuck in certain areas of your life, burdened by depression, anxiety, or old patterns that are hard to shift. Kambo ceremonies can help break through these layers of resistance, opening pathways for renewal and growth.

Emotional Healing and Release: If you are carrying the weight of unresolved traumas, grief, or emotional pain, Kambo can help facilitate a deep release. It allows you to confront and cleanse these layers, freeing yourself from the heaviness that may have accumulated over time.

Spiritual Awakening and Connection: For those seeking a deeper spiritual connection, Kambo can be a gateway to a heightened state of awareness, helping you to align more fully with your higher self, the helping spirits, and the natural world. The medicine opens the heart and clears the mind, paving the way for profound inner connection.

Chronic Pain and Physical Ailments: If you are navigating chronic pain, inflammation, or other physical conditions, Kambo's bioactive peptides can offer support for reducing symptoms and enhancing the body's natural healing abilities.

Each ceremony is crafted to meet you where you are on your journey, honoring the specific needs and intentions you bring. The shorter sessions provide a powerful reset, while the longer programs offer a more gradual unfolding of healing and transformation.

No matter where you find yourself, this sacred medicine calls you to step into a space of courage and surrender, where true change becomes possible.

Depending on your intentions, needs, and health concerns, you can explore different options to find what best suits you. If you feel ready to see if this is a match, fill out the assessment form below.


What to Expect

A Kambo ceremony unfolds in phases, each crafted to support your healing journey from preparation to integration. The process varies depending on the depth of your chosen experience—whether it’s a half-day ceremony, a day-long immersion, or a three-month transformational journey. Each ceremony is customized to meet you where you are, aligned with your unique intentions and needs.


Preparation

The journey begins before the ceremony. Preparation helps to create the optimal environment for healing. You will receive guidance on dietary recommendations, spiritual practices, and setting your intentions. The more intentional your preparation, the more profound the experience can be.


Setting Your Intentions

Clarifying your intentions is an essential part of the process. This may involve exploring what you wish to release, heal, or invite into your life. The intention serves as a guiding light throughout the ceremony, directing the energy of the medicine to where it's needed most.


Arrival & Grounding

When you arrive, we begin by grounding, setting a sacred space, and inviting benevolent spirits, well ancestors, and healing energies to support the journey. This sacred container creates a safe and loving environment, allowing you to surrender fully to the process.


Hape

The ceremony often starts with the use of Hape, a sacred snuff that grounds your energy, clears mental fog, and opens the heart. The medicine is gently blown into each nostril, bringing you into deeper connection with the Earth and your breath. Hape helps calm the mind and align the body’s energy pathways in preparation for Kambo.


Sananga

Sananga eye drops may follow, clearing blocked energies and sharpening your spiritual vision. Although there may be a burning sensation in the eyes, this is part of the medicine's cleansing work, removing layers of illusion and emotional tension. It prepares you to see more clearly, both within and in the world around you.


Kambo

The Kambo medicine is then applied to the skin via small burns, allowing the bioactive peptides to enter the lymphatic system. The ceremony involves a powerful purge, which can manifest physically, emotionally, and energetically. Kambo works swiftly to detoxify the body, clear toxins from the liver, intestines, and lymphatic system, and release stored emotional pain. Though the experience can be intense, the outcome is often a profound sense of clarity, lightness, and renewal.


Closing & Guidance for Integration

After the ceremony, we spend time anchoring the shifts that have occurred, offering space for reflection and grounding. You’ll receive personalized guidance on how to integrate the experience into your daily life, along with recommendations for self-care practices to support ongoing healing. Additional instructions may include rituals, diet suggestions, or ways to continue connecting with the medicine’s energy.


Additional Modalities for Day-Long and Three-Month Immersions

For day-long ceremonies and three-month immersions, other healing modalities will be woven into the experience to deepen the journey. These may include ceremonial bodywork, guided meditation, shamanic practices, elemental rituals (such as working with fire, water, or earth), and other sacred techniques to enhance the depth of your healing. These extended journeys unfold gradually, layer by layer, providing a profound and lasting transformation.

Kambo serves as a catalyst for deep cleansing, renewal, and awakening, and each ceremony is held with compassionate presence to ensure you are supported every step of the way.


Ceremonial Experiences

"When I arrived for the Kambo ceremony with Naomi, I was carrying a lot of heaviness and pain, feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. I needed something strong to help me shift, and I felt drawn to Kambo as a different kind of medicine. From the moment I stepped into the space, Naomi’s presence was calm and grounding. She held the space so tenderly yet with such strength that I felt safe enough to open up and surrender. Her preparation was thoughtful and filled with care, easing my worries and guiding me into the ceremony with clarity.

The experience itself was intense, like being carried through a storm, but Naomi’s gentle guidance helped me stay centered. Her compassionate support allowed me to move through the difficult moments with grace. By the end, I felt a noticeable lightness and a deep sense of renewal, as if a weight had been lifted. It was a profound shift that touched not just my body, but my spirit as well."
