Rapé is a sacred shamanic tool for clearing intentions and paving the way for detoxifying the body. It stimulates the nervous system, enabling the body to become more receptive to all levels of communication. Rapé has been used by Taitas and healers of the Amazon for thousands of years. It’s a powder obtained from the dry tobacco leaves, which are crushed into very fine powder and its administered through the nostrils with an applicator or special blowpipe. Once administered, the powder causes blood vessels in the brain to dilate, this leads to increased blood circulation, and consequently, to increased focus and intuition, stimulating the electrical connection of the neurocerebral system.
Rapé brings immediate attention to the present and opens the entire mental space, opening your intentions. It helps heal emotional, physical, and spiritual illnesses, providing a soothing state that lasts significantly longer than the initial sensation.
Just as Shamans have done for centuries, Rapé can be used to re-align your energy channels and with your higher self. This ancient medicine intensifies your connection with the world and the universe.
This natural medicine is blown through both your nostrils with a single or double pipe or applicator, usually made from bamboo or bird bone. Before administering the medicine, a personal intention will be stated as well as sacred prayer invoking the spirit of the medicine. During this experience, which lasts for approximately 5-10 minutes, you can experience dizziness, discomfort in your forehead and in some cases vomiting.
