Chicha or Xixa is a widely known as an intoxicating maize drink usually associated with shamanic and Rapè rituals. Chicha ashes are commonly used as an ingredient of Yopo, as it has a high lime content and helps with absorption into the nasal cavities.
Many sources state that Chicha should contain the ashes of the bones of the former shaman and tribal elders that have passed away. Usually only men that have had more than one child are offered this type of Chicha in shamanic ceremonies. However this is anecdotal. These ashes are produced from Purple corn.
