“Kambô is best known for its hundreds of bioactive peptides that show potent anti-inflammatory, anti-biotic, anti-cancerous, and anti-pain effects. . Western pharmaceutical drugs companies have filed over 70 patents on the secretion that are now contributing to groundbreaking research on some of the most widespread diseases from cancer to chronic illness. Kambô is legal and safe when administered by a qualified practitioner outside of the Amazon.

​Among Kambô’s uses by Amazonian tribes, its purpose was to help hunters be swift, strong, and focused. The hunter would use it to deepen their connection to their intuition as well as to increase their endurance during the hunt.

Kambô is also traditionally used among Amazonian tribes to eliminate ‘Panema,’ which can refer to any negative energy. Injuries, depression, laziness, irritation, and other adverse states are blamed on Panema. 

Kambô aids in the circulation of blood and eliminates physical and mental blocks. By removing toxins through the lymphatic system and boosting the immune system, it increases the body's ability to heal itself. A powerful healing modality, Kambô has also been recognized outside the Amazon as the "vaccine of the forest."  

Scientist Vittorio Erspamer at the University of Rome describes Kambô as a "fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications" that isn't found in any other type of form. Vittorio Erspamer is best known for his discovery of serotonin in the human brain. Read more of his research here.

As shown in Erspamer’s research, Kambô is made up of short chains of amino acids, called peptides. The bio-active peptides work by binding with receptors in the brain, which triggers chemical reactions in the body. A receptor is like a lock that when opened with the right key will allow healing to happen and energy to flow.

Research on the chemical makeup of Kambô has been conducted since the 1960s and recognizes its healing capacities in short chains of amino acids, known as peptides. These bioactive peptides impact the gastrointestinal muscles and blood circulation, as well as stimulate the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland. By isolating a few of the secretion's many bioactive peptides, pharmaceutical companies have used Kambô to create over 70 patents in the US alone that comprise many of the popular drugs used today.”

Kambô peptides contain dermorphin and deltorphin, which are powerful painkillers without being addictive.

The removal of toxins is facilitated by the peptides phyllomedusin and phyllocaerulein. The peptide Dermaseptin promotes powerful antimicrobial activity against bacteria, yeast fungi.  Tryptophyllins, another peptide, are powerful against the yeast candida.

There is also compelling research that has been carried out by the University of Paris on the effect of Dermaseptin B2 on cancer cells.

Users often find that Kambô provides deep clarification regarding: 

• Getting unstuck in life

• Reinvigorating inspiration

• Grieving

• Resolving childhood trauma

• Self-destructive behavioral patterns
