Cumaru Rapé | Noke Koi Tribe | Strength

According to Huni Kuin indigenous knowledge Cumaru is a tree that does not rot, as it is ‘very true’ which is their way of saying that it is one of the hardest woods in the forest.

The Huni Kuin attribute to it the wisdom of numerous enchantments, associating its strength with spiritual protection and the ability to ward off malevolent influences, colloquially referring to it as Cumaru Ferro, or Cumaru Iron, in Portuguese. In general, harder woods make better ashes, there is something in the density of the grain that makes it a strong ash that gives durability and power to the medicine. 

Cumaru ash imparts strength to the snuff and exhibits drying properties, rendering it suitable for addressing respiratory issues but less conducive to daily use. Cumaru’s blend of medicinal properties - anti-asthmatic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and bronchodilator effects - may also contribute to easing headaches, rheumatic pain, and enhancing respiratory well-being.

Although recognised as a remedy for breathing problems, Cumaru enhances concentration when integrated into rapé, harnessing the energy of its wood to focus the mind of the user. In essence, Cumaru Rapé epitomises the profound connection between nature, spirituality, and healing, offering a potent tool for mental clarity and spiritual alignment.

Cumaru rapé is known for activating the Crown and Third Eye Chakras.

• 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)

The Tribe

The Noke Koi tribe are otherwise known as the Katukina or Catuquina, Katokina, Katukena, Katukino which are generic terms attributed to five linguistically distinct but geographically proximate indigenous groups that live in southwestern Brazil at the border of the Amazonas and Acre. The Katukina are very connected to the usage of sacred plants. They consider themselves as the first tribe to receive the Kambo medicine straight from the frog. They still carry a vast knowledge about plants and the spirit of the world. Their Rapé is strong and deep, and it carries the wild and powerful spirit of the jungle.
