Kambo is an ancient spiritual healing ritual from South America that uses poison from a frog’s skin applied to small burns on the body. Several people worldwide have died after taking part in kambo ceremonies, which are promoted in some wellness communities but have no scientific proof of being safe or effective.
Key Facts
Kambo uses secretions from the giant monkey frog, applied to small burns on the skin during a ritual.
The poison contains peptides that can cause severe vomiting, drops in blood pressure, and affect the heart and organs.
Drinking large amounts of water before the ritual combined with vomiting can lead to dangerous low sodium levels (hyponatremia).
Reported risks include sudden heart problems, organ damage, brain swelling, seizures, and death.
The ritual is used by some people to “cleanse” the body and treat various health problems, though it is not medically proven.
Kambo is legal to buy in the UK but is not a licensed medicine; some countries have banned it.
A recent reported death was Kristian Trend, a UK wellness coach and cancer survivor, after a kambo cleansing ceremony.
The practice originates from Indigenous Amazonian tribes and has been passed down mainly by word of mouth.
