Collection: Katukina

When to work with it
This blend is traditionally worked with in the evening or in low light settings, aligning with the energy of the night blooming cactus. It’s ideal for meditation, introspection, and emotional healing. Many reach for it when experiencing heartache, stress, or fatigue, as it supports release and renewal. It also opens the crown and third eye chakras, making it suitable for prayer, visioning, and connecting with subtle realms. The Katukina consider it a wise guide during times of transition or letting go.

Sacred ingredients
This blend includes:

• Mapacho: Nicotiana rustica grounds and protects, anchoring the spirit and carrying the prayer
• Murici: Byrsonima crassifolia is nurturing, anti inflammatory, and emotionally stabilizing
• Lady of the Night Cactus: Selenicereus grandiflorus supports circulation, heart harmony, and intuitive clarity

Together, these plants form a synergy that balances upper and lower energy centers, creating a medicine that is both grounding and expansive.

Craft & tradition
Cacto Hapé is handcrafted in small batches by experienced Katukina artisans. The preparation includes sun drying and pounding tobacco leaves, carefully burning Murici bark into fine ash, and incorporating cactus material with reverence. Some blends originate from female Katukina medicine makers, reflecting the gentle yet powerful energy within the medicine. The process is prayerful and intentional, often accompanied by sacred songs and blessings, ensuring each dose carries the spirit of the forest and the wisdom of the tribe.

Katukina perspective
The Katukina consider this a sacred and specialized blend, often used at night when the cactus spirit is most active. It is approached with humility and respect, not as a daily tool, but as a medicine for those moments when true inner alignment is needed. The blend teaches the impermanence of all things, like the cactus flower that blooms and fades in one night, and offers peace in the release of what no longer serves. It is a testament to the Katukina’s openness and reverence for plant wisdom, bridging tradition with gentle innovation.

Overview
Katukina Murici is a sacred and time-honored Hapé blend crafted by the Katukina tribe using the fine white ash of the Murici tree and strong Amazonian tobacco. It is known for its deeply grounding, cleansing, and revitalizing effects. Often called the “spiritual broom” of the forest, this blend clears away stagnant or heavy energy, restoring balance and clarity to the body and spirit. Its nurturing, earthy presence brings warmth to the core and reawakens vitality where it had been depleted, making it one of the most foundational and widely respected blends among Amazonian traditions.

When to work with it
Katukina Murici is ideal for moments when one feels ungrounded, emotionally overwhelmed, or energetically blocked. It’s a powerful ally for re-centering during transitions or when releasing stress, sadness, or fear. Use it before or after ceremony to clear energetic residue or as part of a regular practice for grounding, emotional regulation, and energetic protection. It supports clarity and presence in breathwork, prayer, and meditation, making it a versatile choice for both everyday use and sacred ritual.

Sacred ingredients

• Mapacho (Nicotiana rustica) — the base of the blend, grounding and protective, carrying the spirit of intention
• Murici (Byrsonima crassifolia) — anti-inflammatory and energetically purifying; supports lower chakra alignment and physical vitality
  

Together, these ingredients offer deep grounding, emotional recalibration, and energetic cleansing. Murici is especially known for its ability to stimulate stagnant areas in the lower body, support respiratory clarity, and encourage emotional lightness.

Craft & tradition
This blend is handcrafted by Katukina artisans with reverence and prayer. Tobacco leaves are sun-dried, Murici bark is slowly burned into a fine ash, and the two are pounded and sifted into a smooth powder. The process is infused with traditional songs and blessings to awaken the spirit of the medicine. Katukina Murici is often used in both personal and communal rituals to cleanse, unify, and restore balance.

Katukina perspective
To the Katukina, Murici is a sacred and practical ally, celebrated for its ability to “fertilize” the spirit much like it revives burned or depleted soil in the forest. It is seen as a medicine that clears emotional heaviness and reestablishes joy, grounding, and clarity. Often used in group settings or to begin spiritual work, it brings people into harmony with themselves and with one another. Though gentle in character, it carries a strong and steady energy that teaches presence, resilience, and reconnection to the body and Earth.
