Rapéh 🌿

Sacred Amazonian snuff made from tobacco and healing plants.

Breathe it in with intention feel it ground your spirit, clear your mind, and deepen your connection to the unseen.

At KINTU, we honor this medicine by working with Indigenous artisans, crafting blends full of intention, prayer, and respect for the forest.


What is Rapéh? 🌿zzz

Rapéh is a sacred jungle tobacco powder mixed with plant ashes. Each blend is designed to calm, cleanse, or energize. Traditionally used in ceremony or prayer, it helps center the mind and connect you to spirit.


How is it Used? 🌬️

Rapéh is inhaled through the nostrils using:

  • Kuripe:self-use
  • Tepi:applied by another

Use with intention, silence, or prayer. This honors the plants and your body while clearing mental fog and energetic blocks.


Effects of Rapéh ✨

Common effects include:

  • Grounding and mental clarity
  • Emotional release or tears
  • Purging (nausea/vomiting)
  • Quieting of the mind
  • Deeper connection to breath and spirit

These effects are sacred, not recreational welcome them gently.


Working with Rapéh Respectfully 🌿

  • Set a clear intention before use
  • Sit in a safe, quiet, grounded space
  • Start with a small amount if new
  • Breathe, rest, and integrate afterward

Always choose ethically sourced Rapéh, handmade in ceremony with Indigenous partners like Yawanawa, Katukina, and Huni Kuin.
