Kambo

Sangre de Drago is an amazing plant. Its Peruvian name means "Blood of the Dragon". When the trunk of the tree is cut or wounded, a dark red sappy resin oozes out as if the tree was bleeding.

Kambo secretion is collected on a small wooden stick and dried. The stick is wrapped in corn leaf to protect its contents. Its surface contains the dried secretions of the Phyllomedusa bicolor.
