About Katsaral Rapé (Hapé)

This healing blend, crafted by the Yawanawá tribe of Acre, Brazil, is built around Katsaral (Mikania glomerata) — known in Brazil as Guaco, a fast-climbing vine of the Amazon whose broad, heart-shaped leaves have been used across centuries of indigenous and folk medicine for their warming, strengthening, and purifying properties. The Yawanawá name it Katsaral and consider it a plant of deep wisdom and fortification.

Those who sit with Katsaral often describe it as a teacher hapé — one that "brings you out of your normal state of mind into something more expansive," as one reviewer put it. Its character is forceful and clarifying, opening a widened field of awareness while grounding firmly in the body. Traditionally worked with by the Yawanawá for strength, expanded perception, and access to deeper wisdom states during ceremony.

Explore the Yawanawá traditions behind this blend in our guide to the ancient art of rapé.

This Katsaral rapé is meticulously crafted by the Yawanawá tribe of Acre, Brazil, for our customers.

About Rapé (Hapé): Benefits & Safety

Rapé (hapé) is a time-honored Amazonian sacrament crafted from finely ground medicinal plants and tree ash. Traditionally administered with a bone or bamboo kuripe pipe, hapé is blown directly into the nostrils as part of sacred rituals and ceremonies.

Each blend is unique, but most fall into three categories: spiritual, healing, or fortifying. Indigenous peoples use hapé to ground the mind, clear negative energy, enhance focus, and foster a deeper connection with the spiritual realm.

Please use this sacred plant medicine with respect and clear intention—it is not meant for habitual or social use.
