Kashinawá Rapé

Kashinawá Rapé (also known as Huni Kuin Rapé) is a traditional Amazonian ceremonial snuff prepared by the Huni Kuin (Kaxinawá) people of Brazil and Peru. Carefully crafted using sacred ashes and often Nicotiana rustica (Mapacho), this blend is traditionally used to promote grounding, mental clarity and a deep connection with nature and Spirit. It is highly respected for its balanced, centring energy and its role in Indigenous ceremony and prayer.
