Most people hear about kambo and think it’s reckless and dangerous, until they see what happens when it’s done right.
My understanding of kambo changed a lot through this conversation, especially after hearing how it’s been used not just as a traditional Amazonian medicine, but also as a tool for addressing complex health challenges. Caitlin Thompson (@MedicineFrogKambo) brings a rare blend of experience to this space, having served thousands of sessions while also approaching the work through a scientific lens rooted in neurobiology and research.
There’s also a deeper conversation around why many people have overwhelming experiences, and how a more intentional, minimalist approach can unlock benefits around immune support, chronic illness recovery, and nervous system healing.
This is a grounded look at ancient tools meeting modern science, and what becomes possible when healing is approached with both rigor and humility.
