The traditional usage of Rapé

The tobacco and the medicines of which makes the Rapé (correctly pronounced 'Ha-Pe') helps to detach entities, energy parasites and contaminations and interferences in the internal dialogue. Upon receiving a puff of Rapé, the medicine goes up cleaning, sorting out and aligning our energy field, especially the centers or chakras of the third eye and crown, and from there up and down the spine- the Tree of Life.

It is also medicine for the body, helping to expel mucus and parasites from the frontal and paranasal sinuses. Eliminates headaches, dullness, and daze, since it decompresses the pressure of the cranium.

It is also medicine for one's spiritual vision. It is helping us to cleanse the mind and stop the internal dialogue, to be truly present to be able to see beyond our interpretations.

Origin & Preparation

This Rapé is made with love in the Eco-Community "Tierra de agua cristal" in Antioquia, Colombia. "the land of crystalline waters" is an ancestral medicine community with which we co-operate and support its sustainable development thru fair-trade and the production of detox retreats.

This medicine comes from the ancestral knowledge of the indigenous cultures of Brazil, Peru and Colombia, and since antiquity has been used both in the spiritual field and in cleaning and detoxification processes. When the properties of tobacco and the medicinal plants it curries are blown in the nostrils- they are absorbed by the mucous membranes and go directly into the bloodstream, also reaches the paranasal sinuses and cleans accumulated dirt of years that cause us problems such as sinusitis and migraines, and expelled excess phlegm. Another part of the medicine goes down to the stomach and there, through the digestive tract, it performs other functions of cleansing, deworming and cleansing the intestines, improving intestinal peristaltic movement.

Rapé helps us understand on a conscious level that it is a meditation tool. So we do a kind of meditation that we call "Rapé meditation" - once the Rapé is served, one easily reaches a state of profound meditation. This medicine is processed by repeated grinding of tobacco, herbs, bark, and ashes from the holy fire in a delicate alchemical process. Rapé can be made of different plants. The presence of "Grandfather Tobacco" helps to invite and balance the rest of the medicinal plants, in order to direct them for a certain purpose. At the same time, the "Tabakito" is a door that connects the spirit and the universe and helps us to awaken the essential purity in us.

All of our Rapé medicine were made with organic tobacco and plants and healing prayers. It is well preserved for about two years when it is protected from moisture.

There are two ways to administer rapé: the soplada (where another person blows the powder into your nose, made with a designed pipe called Tepi) or by self-administration with a crooked pipe made of wood called Kuripé. The big advantage of using a Kuripé is that you are in total control of the dosage and the power of the administration.
