About Menta Rapé (Hapé)
This healing formula blends traditional jungle tobacco and Tsunu ash with natural menthol from Amazonian mint (Mentha sp.). The cooling vapours create an immediate fresh sensation in the nasal passages, helping calm the mind while sharpening awareness.
Learn how to use rapé—visit our Rapé How-To guide for step-by-step instructions.
Mint-derived menthol is prized in Amazonian folk medicine for its mild analgesic and decongestant effects. Pharmacological studies show menthol activates cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors, producing a perceived drop in temperature and easing nasal airflow.1 Within rapé, this translates to:
- Airway clarity — opens sinuses, enabling deeper nasal breathing during meditation or prayer.
- Mental freshness — many practitioners report a crisp, “wind-through-the-mind” effect that clears mental fog and supports focus.
- Mild pain relief — menthol’s counter-irritant action can help ease headache pressure linked to congestion.
- Cooling comfort — useful in hot climates or during intense ceremony when body temperature rises.
Gentle yet uplifting, Menta rapé is suitable for daily centering, relaxation, and breath-work. Use sparingly; the cooling effect intensifies with larger doses.
This Menta rapé is meticulously crafted by the Yawanawá tribe of Acre, Brazil, for our customers.

What is 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.
