Their blends are characterised by the use of Canela de Velho ash (Miconia albicans), a shrub producing a milder, aromatic ash compared to Tsunu.

Why do the Huni Kuin use Canela de Velho ash?

Canela de Velho (Miconia albicans) produces a milder, aromatically scented ash compared to the more intense Tsunu ash. The Huni Kuin choose it for its gentle alkalinity enabling slower, more subtle absorption. The plant grows abundantly in the flood forests along the Jordão River and is considered a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. Read more about the Huni Kuin tradition.

What is the Huni Kuin nixpu ceremony?

The nixpu ceremony is the central ritual of the Huni Kuin combining herbal preparations with ayahuasca, chants (huni meka) and body painting with genipap dye. It is a multi-day initiation ritual marking the transition from youth to adulthood. The preparations used reflect generations of refined plant knowledge.

How does Huni Kuin rapé differ from Yawanawa rapé?

The main difference is in the ash base: Huni Kuin uses Canela de Velho (Miconia albicans) — softer and more aromatic — while Yawanawa uses Tsunu (Platycyamus regnellii), which is more intense and alkaline. The Huni Kuin are also known for adding a greater variety of medicinal herbs from their extensive ethnobotanical knowledge of hundreds of rainforest plants.
