Kambo is Calling

At Medicine Frog Kambo, we believe in building a practice rooted in integrity, reciprocity, and benevolence. We work directly with indigenous Amazonian communities such as the Matsés and Matis to ensure that the Kambo we use is sustainably and ethically harvested, and sourced through fair and respectful relationships.

We believe in giving back to the people who have been guardians of Kambo and the forest for generations. Medicine Frog Kambo supports philanthropic initiatives that help provide our indigenous allies with access to clean water, building supplies for schools and homes, and resources that help communities secure land titles to protect their ancestral territories.

Medicine Frog Kambo is also committed to advancing scientific understanding of Kambo. Founder Caitlin Thompson is the principal investigator of some of the world’s first human studies on Kambo, and has collaborated with researchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine to help develop more rigorous scientific inquiry into this practice.

To further support these efforts, we founded the Institute of Kambo Advancement and Preservation — a nonprofit initiative dedicated to advancing research, conservation, and ethical collaboration between indigenous knowledge holders, scientists, and practitioners around the world.
