Kambo
What exactly is Kambo?
Kambo is the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog’s sweat (cutaneous secretion), which is carefully harvested. Small wooden sticks are employed as a repository for the secretion once it is retrieved, and it is then allowed to dry for future use.
The fluids that emerge from the frog’s body are a defensive mechanism that the animal employs to ward off predators.
The extraction of this chemical takes place without harming the animals. Harming these creatures, according to the indigenous, would be disrespectful to the holy spirit in charge of the healing process.
hese creatures are known as kambo frogs or gigantic toads, and their native home is the Amazon jungle, with the biggest populations found in Peru and Brazil.
When the kambo is applied to the skin, the active components of the sweat function physiologically in the body, creating a variety of results
4 days Our Self-Healing Kambo Training Program
Learn Kambo Self-Application safely.
The Kambo Self-Healing Training course covers the principles of self-administration with an emphasis on indigenous traditional practices.
The training begins with 6–8 hours of fundamental theory, which are required to work with Kambo in a conventional setting. Participants will discover the how and why of our method, with a focus on safety and the preservation of ceremonial form.

Participants will learn about Kambo’s physical, emotional, and spiritual elements, as well as how to interact with the medicine on all three levels, as the Indigenous Matsés have done for thousands of years.
We begin 20 hours of ‘hands-on’ practical instruction on Day 2 to 4. Participants will learn the skill of self-dosing, a lovely route that has a lot of promise for self-healing and expanding the relationship with this precious medicine.
Students also learn the value of safety standards, the value of a skilled sitter, and how to properly sit for other medical students.
Training that is humble, safe, and experienced
The practical training portion is thorough and comprehensive. An “inoculation campaign,” also known as the “Kambo dieta,” consists of three full days of medicinal work. This procedure is certain to produce a remarkable healing experience when handled with humility and honesty.
Our graduates have the information, abilities, and experience to safely and efficiently begin the process of self-administration. This encounter provides a firm basis for extending and widening one’s relationship with Sapo (one of the Matsés’ more prevalent names for this medication).
We are really grateful for the chance to give our children with effective self-work tools and practices.

Maestro Robinson
Robinson was born in Peru’s Loreto area, in the Chovaiaco town of the Matses reserve. The Matses are the only Peruvian tribe that have retained the knowledge of how to use Kambo, and it is common for them to introduce their children to this medication at an early age.
Robinson was 8 years old when he first received Kambo in 1971, which was not exceptional because receiving and applying Kambo is part of the Matses community’s tradition. The objectives for doing it include frequently cleansing from negative energy and becoming a better hunter. Even for Matses men, being skilled hunters is no longer enough to support their families. Robinson left the Matses settlement in 2014 to relocate near Iquitos in search of better work chances due to a lack of economic opportunities.
His presence and knowledge improves the training by telling stories about his tribe and culture, and the practitioners gain direct insight into the Matses traditional labor. Robinson is happy for the chance to share and pass on cultural traditions to anybody who is interested in preserving ancestral knowledge, which is regrettably quickly vanishing.
Many of the chores around the training are frequently carried out by him and other members of his family, creating a wonderful family atmosphere
