Mapacho Cleanse

Tobacco: A Masterful Healer.

The Amazonian variety of tobacco, Nicotina Rustica or Mapacho, is a potent form of this revered plant. Known for its strength and direct potency, Mapacho offers cleansing, grounding, and clarity to those who work with it. In various cultures, its smoke is utilized to clear, protect, and convey intention.

In traditional ceremonies, the tobacco shaman, or Tobaquero, prepares a potent brew of the plant, infused with prayer and intention. This medicine does not induce a psychedelic state, instead, it operates in two ways. Firstly, it purges the body of toxins and negative energy, and secondly, it communicates through intuition and dreams.

When we cultivate an intentional relationship with tobacco and consume it, it performs a deep cleansing, carrying both the shaman’s intention for healing and our own into our being, body, and psyche.
