Some aromatic plants and products may have a historical use of folkloric nature, but we offer this product as incense and/or botanical curiosa; neither food grade, for consumption nor medical use, unless other is stated. This means that you should contact your doctor even though, for example, frankincense have been used during the Middle Ages as a remedy for bubonic plague. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from children and animals. The snuffs containing tobacco should be used moderately and not daily since tobacco is addictive. The long-term use of tobacco snuff is unknown and should therefore be used with this in mind.

Description
Ashes from Cumaru bark (Dipteryx odorata). Cumaru is also known as the Tonka bean tree and has a long tradition of being used as a flavorful ingredient in snuffs, sweets, and foods. Yet, Cumaru also contains several bioactive ingredients, including coumarins and triterpenoids, and studies have proven its potential as a naturally occurring cancer chemopreventive agent.
This exquisite ingredient is a crucial element of a powerful and balanced Rapé blend and should not be omitted in your own compositions. Cinza or ashes mix excellently with any of the Tobacco powders. Furthermore, blending Tobacco with ashes increases the strength and absorption, making it exquisitely strong.
This is an extremely fine powder. It takes great effort to produce such a fine powder at a 100 micron fineness. This is our standard. All of our products we process to a high standard and consistent fineness, using laboratory grade sieves.

About the tribe
Pure Cumaru ashes. This rare and genuine material was obtained through our Rapé maker in Brazil, which he collected from his friends within the Katukina tribe.
Katukina or Catuquina, Katokina, Katukena, Katukino are generic terms that are attributed to five linguistically distinct but geographically proximate indigenous groups that live in southwestern Brazil at the border of the Amazonas and Acre. The Katukina are a tribe that is very connected to the usage of sacred plants. They consider themselves as the first tribe to receive the Kambo medicine straight from the frog. They still carry a vast knowledge about plants and the spirit of the world. Their Rapé is strong and deep, and it carries the wild and powerful spirit of the jungle.
