Shamanita Rapé Kuntanawa Tipy

Rapé is a traditional snuff from the Amazon rainforest, made from various herbs and used by different tribes. It is used in shamanic rituals and has both medicinal and spiritual properties. The specific effects of Rapé depend on the exact recipe used in its preparation, and even the time of harvesting the herbs can influence its quality and characteristics.

Effects of Shamanita Rapé Kuntanawa Tipy

This specific Rapé variant is made by a member of the Kuntanawa tribe and contains ash from the Sapota tree. The unique character of this Rapé comes from an herb called Kuntanawa Tipy, which is locally harvested.

This powerful Rapé blend has a strong initial effect upon inhalation, which quickly diminishes and opens up the sinuses. It is gentle on the nasal passages and can be used multiple times a day as it causes less congestion than other types of Rapé due to the softness of the Sapota ash.

Note: A new batch may vary in effects, taste, and consistency compared to previous batches.

Who are the Kuntanawa tribe?

The Kuntanawa tribe was nearly extinct due to the slaughters during the rubber boom cycle. Since the early 2000s, a small group of Kuntanawa people has reclaimed their indigenous heritage, but their culture is still under threat. There are only about 250 members remaining, scattered in the Acre region of Brazil. The Kuntanawa organize festivals to share their traditions, rituals, and culture. They place great value on the ritual use of Ayahuasca and believe it will reveal their ancient knowledge and partially restore lost traditions. Unfortunately, their language seems irretrievably lost.

How is Rapé used?

Rapé is traditionally blown into the nostrils by a shaman or medicine man using a special blowpipe. The person undergoing the ritual tries not to breathe through the nose during the ceremony, allowing the herbal mixture to remain in the nasal cavity to do its work. There are also blowpipes available, called Kuripe, which allow individuals to blow Rapé into their own nostrils and come in various designs.
