More About Shamanic Snuff – Mint Tobacco Free

Shamanic Snuff – Mint Tobacco Free, a touch of mint can go a long way, both in the sense of refreshness and healing. Although it isn’t a traditionally common ingredient in the sacred techniques of rapé making, even respectfully established tribes have grown fond of mint blends, going as far as to adding either the famed leaves or drops of essential oil into their mix. Here at Sacred Connections, we make use of food graded mint extract, as we value its prominent taste and reliability in terms of standardized taste, scent, and quality, just as much as we value such aspects in our own production the best we can.

Seeing as mint tea has become such a popular option for connoisseurs of warm beverages and your common tea drinkers all around the world, one must ask themselves: well, this can’t just be due to its refreshing taste, right? And right you are! For mint also brings certain health related properties to the table.

Mentha arvensis and Mentha spicata are the two most common types of mint cultivated in Brazil, as they’ve thoroughly adapted to the tropical weather and now thrive especially in São Paulo and Paraná. Both kinds are very rich in vitamins A, B, and C, as well as calcium, phosphate, and potassium. That means mint is a great agent in anticarcinogenic, antifungal, and analgesic treatments.

It is also believed to have diuretic properties, and its scent can work wonders to decongest airways and help exterminate cold symptoms such as coughing, allergies, and also throat and sinus infections, on top of being a grade A stimulant for the immune system and a famed force for stress reduction, to the point where it can also be very helpful in the fight against headaches, insomnia, and even nausea.

Taking rapé should always be a process that involves deep respect and care.

AWIRY:

Awiry is a plant often used by the Apurinã tribe in the making of their rapé, and it is considered to be some kind of wild tobacco. It usually brings a rich, green undertone to most rapé blends, and it can only be harvested during the dry seasons, as riverbanks recede and the plant can be reached. Unlike the sort of nicotine used in regular cigarettes, for example, Awiry is neither fermented nor heated, but instead left to dry naturally before being ground up and passed through a sieve, so its vibrant green color can be preserved even as a fine powder.

Shamanic snuffs that make use of Awiry are often used in spiritual rituals, ceremonies, and healing rites, especially by the Apurinã tribe, since it is a source of medicinal healing and energetic enhancement and grounding for an improved connection with the divine, and better balance and greater well-being. Such blends can be used for the strengthening of one’s spirit, mind cleansing, improved focus, stress and anxiety reduction, and as a treatment for certain respiratory issues and forms of headache.

While the Apurinã, as it was mentioned before, use Awiry in the making of their rapé, their blend formula involves a small amount of ashes in addition to a greater percentage of Awiry. For Sacred Connection’s tobacco free line, the ratio of Awiry to other components (such as ashes) follows the standard recipe for blends that typically contain tobacco: the blends are made primarily of the other medicinal components listed in the description of each product, and a small amount of Awiry (equivalent to that of tobacco in our other lines).

Taking rapé should always be a process that involves deep respect and care.
