Description

Known as the medicine of silence, Catzaral rapé is considered a nissural snuff due to its ability to transmute negative energies and purify energetic fields. It has a calming effect which helps reduce anxiety and insomnia. The Huni Kuin believe this rapé has the power to act in the psychic fields, freeing those who use it from a lack of appetite and disturbances. It can also be used to assist with the treatment of rhinitis, sinusitis, migraines. The leaves and seeds are extremely aromatic and are known as the perfume of the forest. 

Directions

• Administer your rapé using a kuripe (a sacred pipe used to self administer medicinal rapé & herbal snuffs)
  
• Place a pea sized amount of rapé on your left palm 
• Scoop half of the rapé into the long end of your kuripe
• Take several deep breaths and set your intention(s)
• Place the short end of the kuripe in your mouth and the long end in your left nostril and blow the rapé up your left nostril
• You will always administer the left nostril first and the right nostril second as the left symbolises the past (that which you are letting go of) while the right nostril represents the future (that which you are calling in)
• It is always beneficial to use the sacred pause between the two applications to contemplate that which you are letting go of / calling in
• When ready, scoop the remaining rapé on your left palm into the long end of the kuripe and blow into your right nostril
• Have a few tissues ready as you may experience some burning in the eyes and your nose might run a little bit 
• Sit quietly with your eyes closed and enjoy the beautiful calming and grounding sensation
