Rapé

Rapé is a traditional medicine used by indigenous tribes in the Amazon. In our e-shop, you will find Rapé sourced from places we know personally, from villages we have visited, ensuring that we offer the highest quality. Today, Rapé is used for grounding, presence, energizing, energetic cleansing, and as a tool for socialization and sharing. Need help choosing the right one?

How to Apply Rapé to Yourself

You will need: a Kuripe applicator, Rapé, a bucket, tissues, and possibly water.
This guide is intended for beginners, so we will not use anything too strong.
I follow the school of Dona Francisca, who teaches that every medicine should be started gently and with love.

For beginners, use Rapé with a lower tobacco content and less ash, as ash causes a burning sensation in the nose. From our offerings, we recommend Rapé Katsarau or Tsunu Yawanawa.

Set your intention: grounding, calming, cleansing, or self-healing are good focuses. Keep this intention in mind throughout the process.
Pour a small amount of Rapé into your palm. Use the "pea method": a pea-sized pile is large, half a pea is medium, and a quarter pea is small. Start with a small amount.
Crush the pile to a fine powder, avoiding clumps. Fill half of it into the longer end of the Kuripe, tapping it down. Spread any leftover Rapé on your body.
Insert the shorter end of the Kuripe into your mouth and blow. Use a "golf swing" method: start gently, build intensity, and finish with a strong burst. Repeat for the other nostril to maintain balance.
Thank the medicine and observe its effects while focusing on your intention. Spit out any saliva it produces and wait a moment before blowing your nose.
Drink water beforehand if needed, but note that stronger blows might cause vomiting.
Receive with love, gratitude, and present-minded awareness.
