The range at a glance

Every blend has two combinations, 10 g and 50 g. Each pack size has its own reference, for example RAKU07-10 and RAKU07-50 for Jarina. Eight of the nine blends are listed below; the ninth is shown in the product grid above.

Blend names such as Jarina, Nixpu and Heart of the Boa are kept as they appear in the product names and are not translated on the French and German pages.

Samauma and sananga: names also used for botanicals

Two of the blend names also appear on botanical products that Mycotrop sells separately. In its product names, the shop uses samauma (or samaúma) for kapok, Ceiba pentandra, a species of the mallow family (Malvaceae). It is sold as a powdered samauma bark from Brazil and, in the Ashes category, as a bark ash. Sananga is the name of a shredded sananga root bark from Brazil, listed as Tabernaemontana undulata, a species of the dogbane family (Apocynaceae).

These botanicals and the Samauma, Samauma Flower and Sananga blends are separate products. A shared name says nothing about what a blend contains, and this page does not state the composition of any blend.

An accessory with the Kuntanawa name

The rapé accessories subcategory lists a 30 ml storage bottle by Tete Pawã whose product name also includes Kuntanawa. It is sold on its own.

Rapé: what is known

Rapé (also spelled hapé or rapeh) is the name for Amazonian snuffs, most often made of finely ground tobacco, usually Nicotiana rustica, mixed with bark ash or other plants. In Portuguese, rapé simply means snuff; the word comes from the French “râpé”, grated. There is no single recipe: the blend changes with the people, the region and the purpose, and tobacco-free rapés also exist.

Among several peoples of Acre, including the Huni Kuin, the Yawanawá and the Noke Koî (Katukina), rapé has a ritual role. It is blown into the nostrils with a tepi, a long pipe handled by another person, or with a kuripe, a V-shaped applicator used on one’s own.

Known compounds	Nicotine, in very variable amounts: 0.6 to 4.8% in the rapés analysed by a US CDC laboratory. Alkaline ashes make the nicotine easier to absorb (Stanfill et al. 2015).
Reported effects	Brief burning in the nose, watering eyes, runny nose; dizziness, nausea and sometimes vomiting, which practitioners call a “purge”. Rapé is not psychedelic.
Traditional use	Shamanic and communal use among the Huni Kuin, Yawanawá and Noke Koî of Acre, often in ceremonies where ayahuasca is also present (ISA; Faria 2016).
State of research	Chemical analyses of commercial products, with no clinical study of rapé itself. Health data come from studies of smokeless tobacco.

Good to know

Rapés with tobacco contain nicotine, which is addictive and speeds up the heart; they are not suitable during pregnancy or for people with heart disease.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies smokeless tobacco as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
Nicotine is toxic to children and pets: keep rapé out of their reach.
Do not share an applicator: traces of blood can remain on the tips.

Storing rapé

Keep rapé in a tightly closed container, dry, away from light and heat: the powder takes up moisture and clumps quickly.
