Matsés Nunu is a unique snuff of jungle tobacco (mapacho) and the ashes o f the macambo tree. The macambro tree is in the same family as the cacao tree, procuing fruit and beans that are dried for eating. As with the cacao, the macambo brings a heart opening quality to the snuff. It's sometimes called gentle, but offers a different effect. The Matsés used Nunu in ceremonies and to prepare men for hunting, as it has the power to increase visions and sharpen the sensory abilities. This sacred, masculine hunter tool provides a pleasant but powerful experience with moments of calm and deep meditation followed by clarity and focus.Through the sharpening of all senses, users can experience subtle fragrances of the deep jungle and literally sense the forest and its spirits. Nunu can also be used to clear sinuses. This snuff is traditionally used in larger quantities per administration than the typical rapé, and can be quite strong at large doses.
