THE THREE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BUFO AND KAMBÓ
There are ancient medicines that come from plants… And others that come from frogs and toads . It may sound absurd, funny or even strange, but this is the case with Bufo and Kambo. These ancestral medicines come from frogs and toads that have been used by indigenous communities for the multiple benefits of their secretions, but… Don't be scared! These animals are treated with respect, compassion and caution, and can continue with their wild lives in the Amazon and Aztec lands, while the indigenous communities take advantage of their magical substances to cure, heal and bring harmony to their tribes. So, next, we will talk about these ancestral medicines and the three main differences that exist between them:

BUFO AND KAMBÓ: MEDICINES THAT COME FROM THE FROG AND THE TOAD, BUT THEY DO NOT PRODUCE THE SAME EFFECTS
The Bufo and the Kambo come from secretions of the same species, but one comes from a toad ( Incilius Alvarius ) and the other from a frog ( Phyllomedusa Bicolor ). Both medicines have multiple differences, so let's start listing them with their respective explanation:
BUFO IS A PSYCHOACTIVE MEDICINE, WHILE KAMBÓ IS A BIOACTIVE MEDICINE
While the secretion obtained from Bufo Alvarius is 5-MEO-DMT and BUFOTEINE , the secretion extracted from the skin of Phyllomedusa Bicolor contains peptides. This means that the Bufo will have psychoactive effects making you hallucinate, while the Kambo will produce a bioactive action in you that will purify and activate systems such as the central nervous system and the circulatory system.

BUFO IS SMOKE THROUGH A GLASS PIPE, WHILE KAMBÓ IS ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN
Another of its differences is that the way in which you consume or absorb these ancestral medicines. The Bufo is smoked through a glass pipe, while for the absorption of the Kambo, a superficial wound must be made on the skin using a lit rod that produces a burn. This ensures the absorption of this healing secretion.
THE BUFO HAS A VISIONARY EFFECT, WHILE THE KAMBÓ PURIFIES THE BODY AND THE MIND
Due to its psychoactive properties, Bufo can turn your habitual perception on its head. With this medicine you will be able to access states of consciousness that you have surely not experienced before, and with which you will be able to integrate life experiences or have revealing spiritual experiences. The Kambo, being a bioactive, generates physiological effects that will allow you a physical, emotional and spiritual purification.
