• The blend contains:
Dried Awiry leaves—a plant that thrives along riverbanks and can only be harvested during specific times of the year. This limitation is due to the seasonal rise of the river during the rainy season, which submerges the areas where Awiry grows. Despite its wild growth, some communities have begun cultivating Awiry to ensure a steady supply.The unique characteristics of this Hapé, which is neither fermented nor heated, retain its original color. The traditional harvesting and cultivation methods highlight the deep connection the Apurinã people have with their environment and their dedication to preserving their cultural heritage.

About Hapé:

Its application involves the use of tools to blow the hapé into the nostrils.
In the tribes, its use is always associated with moments of prayer and meditation, facilitating a connection with Mother Nature.
Traditional peoples use this healing hapé to clear the mind, purify thoughts, bring clarity, achieve spiritual alignment, and cleanse negativity and heaviness from the body, mind, and soul. Indigenous tribes have used this medicine for thousands of years to heal their communities and connect with the Creator.
The preparation of this medicinal plant is a labor-intensive process that takes days to complete and is conducted ceremonially. It involves various healing Amazonian medicinal plants, leaves, trees, and seeds from native lands.

• Conscious and Respectful use of Hapé •

At Earth’s Love, we source our hapé with fairness and respect, honoring the wisdom of Indigenous communities and ensuring that each blend comes from safe, authentic, and trustworthy origins.

Hapé is a sacred ancestral medicine, deeply rooted in the traditional practices of the peoples who carry this knowledge. It is not recognized as medicine by the FDA. Conventional medical treatments for physical or mental conditions should not be discontinued.

We encourage mindful use—approached with respect, intention, and wisdom—and, whenever possible, under the guidance of a shaman or an experienced practitioner.

Those with respiratory or heart conditions, as well as pregnant or breastfeeding women, are advised to avoid its use unless safely guided by knowledgeable keepers of the tradition.

To fully receive its benefits, dedicate a quiet, clean, and protected space for the practice, allowing the medicine to unfold without outside interference. Beginners may start with very small portions—about the size of a grain of rice—and gradually adjust as they feel ready, observing and recording their experiences as part of the path of self-discovery.

Each hapé carries its own unique spirit and way of working. Choosing a blend should be done with clear purpose and intention. By engaging with this medicine, you also help support the forest, preserve ancestral knowledge, and uphold the continuity of Indigenous traditions that keep this legacy alive with respect and wisdom.
