Rapé Parika

This is a fresh batch of rapé Parika. I can assure you that it is very powerful. A collaboration between Shawãdawa Indians and Caboclos gives us this Rapé. A Caboclo is a person of mixed indigenous Brazilian, European, and or African ancestry. Click here to learn a bit about Caboclos. The native Brazilian Indians are sharing their knowledge with others.
In this case, the Indians and Caboclos live very close to each other. Sometimes it’s the Shawadawa who prepare the ashes and the Caboclos the sabia or the other way around. To them, it’s a very natural way of living and working together.

Parika Rapé (Schizolobium amazonicum) is well-known for its power and antibacterial ingredients.
Parika ashes have a high vibration and help with the clearing of negative and stuck energies in the body and mind.

About the Tribe

Shawãdawa (also known as Arara del Acre, Shawandaua, Shawanaua, Shawanauá, Shaonahua, or Shaodawa) is an indigenous group that inhabits the southwest of the Brazilian state of Acre. This tribe came in contact with Western “civilization” only at the beginning of the 20th century. The entire tribe currently consists of only 550 souls. Shawã means Macaws and Dawa means family, so they are the Macaw family.

Today, the main objective of the Shawãdawa people is to protect their lands, and their forests, where all our natural medicines are present. They are also always looking to save and maintain their culture, and the teachings of their ancestors.

Handling & Sorting

I sieve this Rapé Parika 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.

• an extremely fine powder.
• a guaranteed consistent fineness
• optimal absorption of the snuff
