An unorthodox episode for the MAJic Hour, where Mercedes interviews Jade about her experience with the trendy medicine ritual called “Kambo”. This ritual is said to be healing and is used mainly in South America, but is quickly becoming popular amongst healing communities abroad. It’s named after the poisonous secretions of the giant monkey frog, or Phyllomedusa bicolor. 

In this episode we explore Jade’s recent experience with the medicine and the rituals surrounding it. We dive into what seems to be a missing part of the Kambo story, including the dangers that this medicine can come with. Jade, no stranger to plant medicines, suffered some traumatic and costly effects after her Kambo ceremony that we feel are important to warn the healing community about. 

It’s important for Jade to mention that her goal in releasing this episode is not to demonize the medicine in any way or to discourage anyone from using healing modalities they feel called to. 

Also, thank you for your patience while listening to her articulate this experience, as she’s still processing it & this was her first time speaking about it publicly. 

Listen in as we walk you through her journey.
