Bobinsana Rapé is a traditional Amazonian ceremonial snuff inspired by the revered Bobinsana plant (Calliandra angustifolia), a sacred tree long honoured by Indigenous peoples for its heart-opening and emotionally supportive qualities. Blended with sacred ashes and often Nicotiana rustica (mapacho), this rapé is traditionally used to cultivate compassion, emotional balance and a deeper connection with nature and Spirit.
Bobinsana is often regarded as a "plant of the heart," making this blend especially suited for ceremonies centred on love, forgiveness and emotional healing.
