Vittorio Erspamer, an Italian scientist and Nobel Prize nominee, pronounces Kambo as, “A fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications, unequaled by any other amphibian.”  For thousands of years, Kambo has been used as medicine by indigenous Amazonian tribes. Traditionally, these tribes would use Kambo medicine to treat a wide array of illnesses which include malaria, snake bites, spider bites, lack of focus, depression, laziness, and irritation. In addition, the tribesmen would often use Kambo to enhance their hunting abilities by improving their eye sight, strength, and stamina. Now, there are numerous benefits accounted for outside the realm of tribal use in which many people have reported immense physical and psychological benefits. Furthermore, research has been conducted on Kambo’s healing properties since the 1980s. These scientific studies conclude that the Phyllomedusa bicolor secretion holds a wide variety of peptides that are beneficial for human health. These peptides enable Kambo to be one of the strongest natural antibiotics and anesthetics ever discovered. These peptides are regarded as one of the most natural ways to strengthen our immune system and physically destroy pathogenic microorganisms. Some of these peptides excite the immune system and activate a deep cleansing effect by crossing the blood-brain barrier and stimulating the endocrine glands of the brain. Kambo deep cleans and detoxifies the internal organs, including liver (purging up bile) and the intestines (through evacuations) as well as the entire digestive system. Furthermore, Kambo’s healing properties also include anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, and ability to destroy microbes and viruses.
