Sacred Ritual
The sacred shamanic snuff known as rapé - pronounced ha-PAY – has been used by tribal cultures in the Amazonian region for ritual, medicinal and recreational purposes for thousands of years.
Rapé is considered to be one of many sacred medicines from the Amazon that are used for healing purposes. Both to overcome physical, psychological and emotional blocks as well as gain tremendous insight into other, subtler worlds.
Rapé is a preparation of powdered medicinal herbs, often with a tobacco base. Rapé is typically made with Nicotiana rustica - also known as mapacho in South America - which contains 9 times more nicotine than Nicotiana tabacum, the highly-cultivated tobacco that is smoked around the world in cigarettes.
Furthermore, rapé is believed to help release emotional, physical, and spiritual illnesses, easing negativity and confusion, and enabling a thorough grounding of the mind.
Likewise, shamans use rapé to re-align with their energy channels, connect with their higher self, and to deepen their connection with the natural world. In addition, rapé paves the way to detoxify the body and cleans out excessive mucus, toxins and bacteria.
