Rapé Kaxinawa

Rapé Kaxinawa

This is the original Rapé from the tribe. Before they started experimenting there was only one type and that is this variety. The nice energy comes from rapé Kaxinawa comes from different types of herbs. It is a very classic and one of the most authentic rapé blends.

Tribal Usage

The Kaxinawa tribe uses its Rapé for different purposes. For example, relief of physical pain and headaches and cleaning of sinuses. In Addition, the Kaxinawa’s apply Rapé for mental healing, mostly in combination with chanting.
Rapé connects the tribe with spirits of the jungle and – depending on the specific ingredients – it can cure, heighten concentration, improve hunting, or be a connector to the spirit of nature. The Kaxinawa like to experiment and use a wide range of ingredients for their rapé.

Handling & Sorting

I sieve this rapé Kaxinawa and all other snuff coming from my shop through a 120-micron high-grade stainless steel mesh. I also store the Rapé stock dry and in vacuum containers to prolong freshness and quality.

This results in.
