Can Kambo Help with Depression?
Introduction
Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders. In fact, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 16 million adults have had at least one major depressive episode in their lifetime. And although there are many different types of therapies and medications available for treatment, there isn't a single cure-all that works for everyone. That's why it's important to explore all your options when looking for relief from depression. Kambo may be an effective way to treat depression because it targets serotonin receptors—the chemical neurotransmitters thought to play a role in mood regulation—in the brain.
What is Kambo?
Kambo is a medicinal frog secretion that's been used by indigenous people in the Amazon for centuries. It's thought to have a positive effect on depression, anxiety and other mood disorders. In fact, it's believed that kambo can help with any mental health condition.
Other benefits of kambo include:
Pain relief
Reduced inflammation
Increased libido (in men)
Improved sleep quality
How does it work in your brain?
Let's take a look at what kambo peptides are capable of.
If you're familiar with the neurotransmitters that regulate emotions like serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and endorphins, then you know they have different effects on your mood. Serotonin is responsible for positive feelings and a sense of calmness; it's what helps us sleep at night. Dopamine is involved in motivation and reward-seeking behavior—if dopamine levels are low (or if there are fewer receptors for it), we can become apathetic or depressed because we don't feel rewarded by our surroundings anymore. Norepinephrine plays a role in attention deficit disorder as well as anxiety disorders like panic attacks or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
So how does kambo work its magic? The answer lies in its ability to increase these specific neurotransmitters while also reducing stress hormones like cortisol that can cause anxiety and depression over time. Neurotransmitter modulation may also explain why some people experience post-kambo euphoria (the feeling of being on top of the world) whereas others report feeling drained afterwards; this could be due to differences between individual brains!
What does the research say?
Research on kambo has shown that it increases serotonin in the brain, which can help with depression and anxiety. In fact, one study showed that kambo reduced depression symptoms by up to 60 percent after six months of treatment. It was also found to be effective at treating social anxiety disorder.
There are other benefits as well:
Increased well-being (this is sometimes called “quality of life”)
Decreased cravings for drugs or alcohol
Research suggests that kambo peptides increase serotonin, thereby reducing depression.
The research suggests that kambo peptides increase serotonin, thereby reducing depression. They also increase dopamine, thereby reducing anxiety. Similarly, kambo increases norepinephrine and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which have been shown to reduce pain and stress respectively.
In short: If you have any sort of mental health issues like ADHD or depression that come with low serotonin levels, then taking kambo may improve your symptoms—especially if they’re related to low serotonin levels in the brain.
