Description

Huni Kuin · Acre, Brazil

Katsarau — ash of the white tree

Rapé Katsarau comes from the Huni Kuin (Kaxinawá) people of Acre, Brazil. It unites wild Mapacho with sacred ash of the rare Katsarau tree – the “white ash tree” of the Amazon rainforest.

It carries a deep, earthy and ancestral forest character. In tradition it is associated above all with deep energetic cleansing – purifying the auric field and releasing stagnant energy – followed by ceremony, mental clarity and grounding. It is regarded as a gateway to expanding consciousness and a deeper connection with oneself and Pachamama.
