Its ceremonial use dates back over 2,000 years and its traditions continue today. The cactus contains a number of alkaloids, including Mescaline.

Huachuma Huachuma is relatively gentle, can produce a deep sense of calm, and can create a very powerful connection to one’s surroundings, which may induce visions. We often use this medicine in combination with a sweat lodge to purify the body as well.

General Information on Huachuma-Sapo/Kambo This medicine comes from a particular jungle tree frog’s venom. It is harvested and applied by inflicting small burns onto the patient and placing a small amount of this venom on the burn. While this may seem scary, it is very safe and complimentary to the practice of Ayahuasca. It strengthens your immune system, has antibiotic properties, works as a detoxification of the liver, and of the entire digestive system.
