The formulation is targeted for the heart chakra which governs the rib cage, lungs, heart, circulation, skin, hands, arms and the upper back.
The key ingredient is Xacapandaré - a very rare and hard to find herb which is often found by accident. The makers say this medicine is a good medicine for all diseases. This gentle recipe has less tobacco than most Rappé blends, and its creation was inspired by the very respected chief Siã Huni Kuin from the Jordão region, one of the prominent indigenous leaders from Acre state.
The Xacapandaré herb is said to strengthen the respiratory system and according to traditional knowledge helps support memory and strengthen the mind. It is a medicine made carefully to have the correct balance between different ingredients. The addition of Tsunu ashes and only a very small quantity of high-quality Sabiá mapacho makes this blend ideal for those who want to use less tobacco.
It is an excellent remedy for opening the mind, the heart, the respiratory system and clearing negative energies. We are very fortunate to offer this blend due to its rarity. Please offer gratitude to the makers and the helping spirits of the Amazon for this gift.
Huni Kuin
The Huni Kuin (also known as: Kaxinawá, Cashinahua, Kaschinawa, Kashinawa, Caxinauás) are an indigenous people of Brazil and Peru. Their villages are located along the Purus and Curanja Rivers in Peru and the Tarauacá, Jordão, Breu, Muru, Envira, Humaitã, and Purus Rivers in Brazil.
In the Peruvian Amazon rainforest, some Huni Kuin live on the Alto Purús Indigenous Territory with the Kulina people.
Huni Kuin means “The Real People” – and their entire culture is connected to the rainforest. They have ancient knowledge about the healing power of plants and social cohesion; they live in harmony with nature and as inhabitants of the forest.
The Huni Kuin speak the Kaxinawá language, a Panoan language. They call their language Hancha Kuin, meaning "Real Words." It is estimated that 5% to 10% of the Huni Kuin in Peru speak Spanish and literacy rates are low.
Unfortunately, the history of the Huni Kuin is marked by great suffering, which begins with the first contact with Western civilisation about a century ago and continues to this day: at that time they suffered forced labor, displacement and genocide. Today, it is mainly racism, poverty and human greed that threaten their lives and destruction of their habitat. More and more pieces of forest are becoming victims to fire or are being cut down to make room for cattle and soy plantations.
One solution to save themselves and the forest was to acquire their own land. They are one of the first indigenous Amazon peoples to have already purchased their own land. The Huni Kuin want to continue with this. By acquiring it, they are strengthening the association of indigenous territories that exist in the region.
The Huin Kuin are excellent musicians and have a deep knowledge of the jungle. The Huin Kuin use Rappé for a wide range of purposes from physical healing, mental healing, to heighten concentration, improve hunting skills and connection to Spirit and ancestors. The Huin Kuin love to experiment and use a wide range of ingredients for their snuffs.
