Indigenous Lineages and Sacred Knowledge

The strength and authenticity of traditional medicines—such as Rapé, Sananga, and sacred Tabaco—are rooted in the cultures that preserve and pass them on. Each tribe carries a unique cosmology, relationship with the forest, and set of rituals that give context and meaning to these plant allies. In this section, you’ll find introductions to various indigenous peoples who steward this ancestral wisdom. From the forests of Acre to the highlands of the Andes, each group brings its own voice, its own medicine, and its own way of honoring the sacred.
