Kambô
In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, where the canopy is thick and the air is heavy with the scent of earth and life, there dwells a creature of remarkable significance: the Giant Monkey Frog, Phyllomedusa bicolor, guardian of ancient secrets and harbinger of healing. It is from this noble amphibian that the sacred medicine known as Kambô emerges, a gift from the forest to those who seek its transformative powers.
Legend has it that Kambô was bestowed upon the indigenous tribes by the spirits of the forest, a testament to the deep connection between humans and the natural world. For centuries, the tribes have revered the frog as a symbol of resilience and regeneration, embodying the cycle of life and death that sustains all living things.
Kambô, vacina-do-sapo, is no ordinary medicine. He is a potent treatment, derived from the secretions that protect the Giant Monkey Frog, one that holds the key to unlocking the body's innate ability to heal and purify. When applied to the skin, Kambô induces a cleansing process unlike any other, flushing out toxins and impurities while revitalizing the spirit.
The journey of Kambô began deep within the rainforest, where skilled harvesters ventured into the wilderness in search of the elusive Giant Monkey Frog. With reverence and respect, they would harvest the frog's secretions, knowing that they were handling not just a medicine, but a sacred gift from the forest itself.
From there, Kambô makes his way into the hands of those who seek his healing touch. Guided by skilled practitioners, individuals embark on a journey of purification and renewal, surrendering themselves to the wisdom of the frog spirit and the transformative power of the medicine.
As Kambô spreads beyond the borders of the rainforest, His reputation as a potent healer grows. People from all walks of life seek out its cleansing properties, drawn to his ability to alleviate physical ailments, purify the mind, and awaken the spirit.
Amidst the growing interest in Kambô, one thing remains clear: his roots lie deep within the heart of the Amazon, intertwined with the rhythms of nature and the ancient wisdom of the indigenous tribes. He is a medicine born of the forest, nurtured by the spirits that dwell within, and entrusted to the care of those who understand its true significance.

Plant Spirit Medicine is a form of spiritual remediation rooted in ancestral traditions that combines classical Chinese~ Five Element theory, the indigenous practice of calling upon plant spirits, and the Animism religion (the attribution of a soul to plants, inanimate objects, and natural phenomena.) Plant Spirit Medicine recognizes that like humans, plants have spirit, and their spirit has the unique capacity to touch and rebuild the spirit of a human being and restore us to our own essential nature. Our ancestors lived this way–-an existence in which there is no illusion of separation from nature. They would make friends with the spirits of nature and call upon them for restoration and other everyday affairs. This ancient practice was remembered, revitalized, and reintroduced by the late teacher and healer, Eliot Cowan, and has proven to be as effective in today’s world as in times past. Modern people are once again turning to plants for guidance and for their ability to regenerate spirit.
