Description

Ipê Roxo is prepared with the ashes of the Pau d'Arco tree, one of the great hardwoods of the South American forest. Known for its remarkable strength and durability, the tree has come to embody resilience, endurance and protection. Within rapé, its ashes bring a grounding and cleansing quality, helping to clear stagnant energy, quieten distraction and restore a sense of inner stability.

There is a quiet strength to Ipê Roxo. Its medicine does not ask us to harden against life's challenges, but to discover what remains steady within us as we move through them. By clearing what has become heavy or stagnant, it creates space for greater clarity, stronger boundaries and the resilience to meet life from a more centred place.

A beautiful ally for introspection, ceremony and periods of transition or challenge, Ipê Roxo invites us to reconnect with our foundations, release what no longer serves and remember the strength that already lives within us.

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

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.
