The classic green medicine of the Apurinã people is made with Awiry, a native amazonian plant that grows in the river beds which is only found in the dry season. It is considered live or raw, where the leaves are not fermented as is done in common medicine making, and there is no ash. The leaves are dried in the Sun and then ground. This is a unique medicine and is referred to as a Rapé of Light. Apurina Awiri has a flowery scent and literally smells like being in the middle of the jungle. Very opening and deeply subtle.

The traditional use of this medicine began thousands of years ago in the indigenous cultures of what we know as South America. The production comes about as a result of the deep understanding and cooperation of these earth based people with the forces of Nature, Her medicinal plants, and Her plants of power. The plants are all harvested in the forest and dried in the sun, the vital force of our brightest star giving them life as they are transformed. The plants are harvested ethically, taken from the places which are abundant and also replanted so that we are not only taking from the Natural world, but exchanging. These medicines are prayed over, so that they may bring life, health, happiness, and open paths wherever they go.

Before this medicine arrives to you, there is knowledge and experience of many lifetimes, passed on from generation to generation, deepened and maintained in this living culture which are the sacred medicines of the people of the forest. Every medicine is the story of a people… We aim to maintain it that way, with immense respect for the cultural heritage which we consider essential to what we do.
