Hapé

Hapé, also known as rapé, rapay, or shamanic snuff, is pronounced 'ha-peh'. It is a finely powdered snuff, usually made with a base of Nicotiana rustica, sometimes referred to as mapacho. The ash of other sacred medicinal herbs is often added to the blend. It has been used for medicinal, ritual, and recreational purposes by the Indeginous tribes of South America for centuries and we know its use dates back to at least as early as the Mayan civilization.
