Hapé

Hapé has been used for thousands of years throughout the Americas, where tobacco is regarded as potent medicine and often reserved for ceremonial use. It’s used by being blown up the nostrils. 

Hapé is still produced throughout the Amazon basin to this day, by indigenous groups such as the Yawana, Matse, Huni Kuin, Nukini, Kuntanawa, and many others, with many recipes still kept secret. It’s often part of ceremonial rites of passage in tribes or as part of ayahuasca and Kambo ceremonies, making hapé popular worldwide.
