More about Hapé …

Hapé, pronounced ‘haa-pay,’ is a sacred herbal snuff made by indigenous tribes of the Amazon. It is applied using an applicator to blow the snuff up the nostrils during prayer and meditation, facilitating a connection with Mother Nature. Traditional peoples use this healing snuff to cleanse the mind, purify thoughts, bring clarity, achieve spiritual alignment, and clear negativity and heaviness from the body, mind, and soul.

Indigenous tribes have been using this medicine for thousands of years to heal their communities and connect with the Creator. The preparation of this plant medicine is a labor-intensive process that takes days to complete and is conducted in a ceremonial way. It involves various Amazonian healing medicinal plants, leaves, trees, and seeds from native lands.
