Kambô is the cutaneous secretion of Phyllomedusa bicolor, an Amazonian tree frog, traditionally used by several Indigenous peoples of the western Amazon — including the Katukina, Yawanawá, Matsés and others — in healing, hunting and ritual contexts. Beyond Indigenous practice, kambô has spread internationally as a non-conventional therapeutic and ceremonial practice, raising questions about safety, training, regulation, animal welfare and the protection of biocultural rights. ICEERS gathers here scientific, cultural and policy content on kambô.
