WHAT IS KAMBO?
Kambo Ceremony in Sedona
Kambo is the sacred secretion of the Giant Monkey Frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor), a profound medicine held by the Indigenous Panoan-speaking groups of the Amazon. Used for generations to clear 'Panema'—a cloud of heavy or stagnant energy, Kambo is a grounded physical experience that resets the nervous system, clears physical blockages, and fosters a renewed sense of clarity and spiritual presence.
Roots & Origins
Kambo is a sacred secretion from the Giant Monkey Frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor), found deep within the Amazon rainforest. For generations, indigenous tribes, including the Matsés, Katukina, and Yawanawá have utilized this powerful medicine for clearing 'panema' (bad luck) and strengthening the hunter's spirit. It is an ancient practice rooted in the connection between the forest and its people.
At Temple of the Sovereign Path, we honor these roots and the ancestral lineages that have preserved this medicine. We work with ethically harvested Kambo, ensuring the frogs are treated with the respect before being returned safely to their habitat. This grounded approach ensure our Sedona ceremonies remain connect to the original tradition of the medicine.
