Kambo is neither a poison nor a venom in the way we typically understand those terms. It is a protective, peptide-rich skin secretion of the Phyllomedusa Bicolor amphibian. While it induces a strong physiological flush to protect the frog in nature, in the human body, these specific bio-active peptides interact with our systems to facilitate a deep physical and energetic reset, rather than causing harm.

No. Kambo is entirely non-psychoactive and non-hallucinogenic. It does not alter your perception of reality, induce visions, or change your cognitive state. The process is entirely physical and energetic, grounding you deeply in your body.

The most intense part of the physical reset—the purging and heat flush—typically lasts between 15 and 40 minutes. However, a complete ceremony, including the preliminary consultation, intention setting, application, and the vital integration and resting period, takes approximately 2 to 3 hours.

The immediate, expected responses to the application include an increased heart rate, a sensation of warmth, slight facial swelling, and a physical purge (vomiting or sweating). These are not side effects; they are the intentional mechanisms of the release. Post-ceremony, you may feel temporary fatigue as your body stabilizes, which is why we incorporate adaptogens and deep rest into our protocol.

Yes, Kambo is completely legal in Italy and the vast majority of countries worldwide. It is not listed as a controlled substance because it contains no psychoactive compounds.
