Rapé is a traditional snuff medicine of the Amazon, usually made with jungle tobacco and a tree ash. This would be rapé in its simplest form, and a medicinal rapé would also contain herbs determined by the rapé’s desired healing effects.
Rapé is either taken with a Kuripe or a Tipi. When giving rapé to oneself, you would use the v-shaped Kuripe, one end in the mouth, and one end placed up the nose. By administering a short, sharp blow, the rapé is fired deep into the nose. When giving rapé to another person, an elongated pipe called a Tipi is used. One person blows while the other person receives.
Some of fifteen ashes are called Tsunu, Parica, Murici, Mulateiro and Imbauba and are derived from trees of the same name. Each of these ancient trees having accumulated years of energy from the sun, and all having a sandy and textured bark that when burned becomes a very fine ash similar to talcum powder.
The Tobacco and ash are a medicine in themselves and can create a strong purgative effect for those that are not used to taking it. To make an even stronger medicine though, the dried foliage of shrubs and trees are added. Each additional ingredient considered for their medicinal and magic powers: for example, certain plants are known to remove headaches, ease muscular pains, or even imbue the concentration needed for a public talk. Some plant allies were added to connect to the spirit world and speak with your ancestors and even to internalize your own being.
Fine rapé has a subtle fragrance, such as that which is made in small batches by the Katukina tribe.
Tsunu according to the Katukina is very much about 'alignment', it is believed to balance the energies in the body, therefore 'unlocking blocked energies' and the Katukina pajé (medicine man) would often choose Tsunu to 'ward off evil spirits'.
In the Amazonian herbal tradition, Tsunu is often chosen to help with a migraine, influenza, sinusitis, rhinitis, aid poor digestion, constipation and fever.
There are so many folks selling imitations, but this is not one of them, this rapé is sent directly from the Katukina tribe who lovingly make it in the Acre region of Brazil.

"We start as a seed and can choose to grow into truly great minds; as such it seems clear to me that the universe is essentially massaging consciousness over time, peppered across distant planets, separated by layers of gravity, guided by spirits. You see whoever created the Earth is harvesting gods." -KFB2
