What Is Sacred Rapé Medicine?

A Guide to the Sacred Snuff of the Amazon

Rapé (pronounced "ha-peh") is a sacred and medicinal snuff used by indigenous tribes of the Amazon for thousands of years. It is a fine, dry powder made from a variety of sacred plants, trees, and seeds, with the primary ingredient being Nicotiana rustica, a type of tobacco that is 20 times stronger than Nicotiana tabacum.

Unlike commercial tobacco, Rapé is not smoked. It is administered through the nostrils using a special pipe called a "Kuripe" (for self-application) or a "Tepi" (for application by another person). The experience can range from grounding and calming to intensely purgative and transformative, depending on the blend and the intention.

The Sacred Tradition of Rapé

For the indigenous peoples of the Amazon, Rapé is not a recreational substance. It is a sacred medicine that is used in a variety of spiritual, medicinal, and social contexts. It is believed to cleanse the mind and body, clear negative energy, and connect the user to the spirit world.

Within many Amazonian cultures, rapé medicine is approached with respect and intention, used to support grounding, clarity, and connection during ceremony and daily spiritual practice.

Rapé ceremonies are often led by a shaman or an experienced elder who guides the participants through the experience. The intention of the ceremony can vary, from healing and spiritual exploration to community building and decision-making.

Sustainable & Ethical Sourcing

We are deeply committed to the preservation of the Amazon rainforest and the cultures of the people who call it home. That's why we work directly with our indigenous partners to ensure that all of our products are sourced in a way that is both sustainable and ethical.

Our Rapé is made from plants that are grown and harvested in a traditional and respectful manner. We do not use any pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and we work with our partners to ensure that the harvesting of the plants does not damage the rainforest ecosystem.

For those wondering where to buy rapé that is authentic and responsibly sourced, transparency and direct relationships are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use Rapé?

Rapé is administered through the nostrils using a special pipe called a "Kuripe" (for self-application) or a "Tepi" (for application by another person). It is important to approach the use of Rapé with respect and intention. We recommend starting with a small amount and gradually increasing the dosage as you become more familiar with the medicine.

Is Rapé safe?

When used in a traditional and respectful manner, Rapé is considered to be a safe and effective medicine. However, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and to use the medicine responsibly. We do not recommend the use of Rapé for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for people with a history of heart problems or high blood pressure.

How is your Rapé made?

Our Rapé is made by our indigenous partners in the Amazon using traditional methods. The plants are grown and harvested in a sustainable and ethical manner, and the Rapé is prepared with love and intention.

Where can I buy Rapé online and be sure it’s authentic?

Authentic Rapé can be purchased from stores that work directly with indigenous tribes and clearly document sourcing, preparation methods, and ingredient transparency.

How long does Rapé last when stored properly?

When stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and sunlight, Rapé can last 1–2 years while maintaining potency and aroma.

Is Rapé the same as Hapé?

Yes. Rapé and Hapé refer to the same traditional Amazonian snuff; the difference is spelling, which varies by region and language.

What tools are needed to use Rapé?

Rapé is traditionally administered using a Kuripe for self-application or a Tepi when applied by another person in a ceremony.

What is the difference between a Kuripe and a Tepi?

A Kuripe is a V-shaped self-applicator that allows you to administer Rapé to yourself. A Tepi is a longer pipe used by another person to blow the Rapé into your nostrils. The Tepi is traditionally used in ceremonies and is believed to create a deeper connection between the giver and receiver.

Is Rapé legal to buy online?

In many countries, Rapé is legal to buy online because it is sold as an ethnobotanical or ceremonial product, though local regulations may vary.

Rapé should be stored in an airtight container, away from humidity, heat, and direct sunlight to preserve freshness and effectiveness.
