Xipao Rapé
Latin Name: Unknown
Ethnicity: Huni Kuin
Ash: Caneleiro
Strength: Medium
The Huni Kuin Baimuka rapéh is a sacred blend prepared with Sabiá tobacco, Caneleiro ash, and Xipaô—a rare and fragrant herb deeply rooted in Huni Kuin tradition. Xipaô, known to grow parasitically on palm trees, is revered for its spiritual and medicinal qualities.
Caneleiro ash, a key component, shares similarities with the well-known Canela de Velho plant. It is traditionally used to address a variety of physical ailments, including joint pain, back pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, and rheumatism. It is also valued for its ability to purify the blood and promote overall wellness.
Beyond its physical properties, this rapéh offers a calming and grounding effect, supporting relaxation of the mind and soothing the nerves. It is a medium-strength medicine, ideal for moments of quiet reflection and connection.
Lovingly crafted by Baimuka, a Txai Huni Kuin from the Karapanã territory on the Tarauacá River, this rapéh carries the wisdom and energy of the forest, honoring the Huni Kuin tradition of balance and healing.
As with all sacred medicines, this rapéh is best used with intention and respect, inviting its calming essence and healing energy to support your journey.

About Rapé
Rapé (also hapé) is a finely ground blend of medicinal plants and ash. It’s most widely used in Brazil, though the Matses in Peru also have a green version with uncured mapacho. It is believed to go back to the time of the Incas. It can help focus the mind, release emotional, physical, energetic and spiritual illnesses, align the chakras, connect to higher consciousness and ground the body.
Storage: Please keep the bottle in a dark, cool place away from direct sunlight.
Sourcing:
Wankawi intends to do it's best for ethically sourcing these Amazonian Medicines. While traveling to the jungle to ensure cultivation, preparation, sale and shipment processes is not possible, we ask as many questions as we can to ensure all are in alignment with our values. We work with women suppliers and preparers when possible to support their livelihoods. We also buy from suppliers that have a well known reputation for highest quality products. Wankawi is driven by sustainability, in all senses. If any of these medicines become endangered, or we hear of unethical or ecologically destructive practices, we will discontinue offering these medicines. The foremost important aspect of working with these medicines is to listen - to the plants themselves, the Wisdom of the Earth and the communities and traditions from which they originate. Only when we take care of the entire system, can we truly heal, thrive and create a new world.
