Kaxinawa Rapé
 
The Kaxinawa, or Huni Kuin (“true people”), are one of the largest tribes in Acre, comprising 42% of the region’s indigenous population. Their rapé is used for physical healing (e.g., relieving pain, headaches, sinus issues), mental clarity, spiritual connection, and ceremonial practices, often with chanting to connect to jungle spirits. Unlike tribes with fixed recipes, the Kaxinawa experiment with diverse plants and ashes, making their blends unique and potent.
 
Kaxinawa rapé typically includes Nicotiana rustica (Moi or Mapacho tobacco), ashes (commonly Murici from Byrsonima crassifolia or other trees like Tsunu or Caneleiro), and sacred herbs tailored to specific intentions (e.g., cleansing, grounding, energising). Blends are handcrafted by shamans or skilled tribe members, often in small batches for ceremonial or medicinal use.
 
Depending on the blend, effects range from grounding and cleansing to energising and spiritually uplifting. Kaxinawa rapé is often described as sharp, intense, and deeply transformative, with potential for purging (nausea, mucus clearing) as part of detoxification.
