About Hapé:

Hapé, pronounced 'haa-pay', is a sacred herbal blend made by indigenous tribes of the Amazon.
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.

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.

Rapé is strictly prohibited for individuals under 18.

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.
