Pau Pereira Ashes (Platycyamus regnellii): A Key Element in Rapé Traditions

Pau Pereira, also known regionally as Tsunu or Txunú, is a cornerstone ash used in the preparation of traditional Rapé by various Amazonian tribes, including the Yawanawa, Kuntanawa, and Katukina. Derived from the bark of the Platycyamus regnellii tree, Pau Pereira ashes are celebrated for their grounding, spiritual-cleansing, and balancing effects. The ashes play a crucial role in ceremonies and everyday rituals, providing users with stability, focus, and emotional clarity.

The Pau Pereira tree is part of the Fabaceae family and is found throughout the Amazon rainforest. It goes by different names depending on the region, but whether it’s called Pau Pereira in one area or Tsunu/Tsunú in another, it shares the same revered qualities. Known for its ability to clear mental and spiritual blockages, this ash is believed to open the spiritual heart, allowing energy to flow freely and bringing emotional balance.

Uses in Spiritual and Ceremonial Practices

Pau Pereira ashes are a foundational ingredient in many Rapé blends, often paired with Tabaco such as Sabia, Moi, or Arapiraca, to enhance the effects. It’s commonly used before Ayahuasca ceremonies to prepare the mind and body for spiritual work, but it is also applied during intense ceremonial experiences to ease physical and emotional release, such as vomiting or purging. Shamans and practitioners use this ash to ground participants, helping them stay connected to the earth and their inner energy throughout the ritual.

Healing and Cleansing Properties

Known for its spiritually purifying properties, Pau Pereira (Tsunu) ashes help cleanse negative energy and realign mental focus. Many users report a feeling of lightness, as if emotional weight has been lifted. Additionally, the ash supports grounding and centering, helping individuals navigate complex spiritual experiences with clarity and calm. Pau Pereira is especially useful in promoting the release of tensions between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, offering profound balance.

Traditional Preparation

The ashes are created by carefully burning the bark and wood of the Pau Pereira tree, ensuring that the process is respectful and sustainable. After burning, the ash is finely sieved to remove impurities, resulting in a smooth powder that is easy to blend with Tabaco. Our Pau Pereira ashes are carefully reprocessed and refined to ensure that they are of the highest quality for spiritual use.

This essential ingredient plays a vital role in creating a well-rounded and powerful Rapé blend, and should not be overlooked in your own compositions. Pau Pereira (Tsunu) ashes combine seamlessly with any Tabaco powder, enhancing both the strength and absorption of the mixture, making it notably potent. As you become more familiar with Rapé, you’ll notice that each type of ash offers unique qualities—some are lighter on the nose, while others provide a sharper edge, and all contribute distinct medicinal properties to the blend.

Setting the Standard for Ultra-Fine Ashes

We take great care to reprocess all received ash stock to ensure the highest quality for your use. Ashes often arrive with natural impurities such as small bits of charcoal, sand, and other particles, as they are traditionally prepared without modern equipment. To guarantee purity and consistency, we meticulously sieve all ashes, removing any rough bits and impurities. The result is an ultra-fine powder, sifted to a 150-micron fineness using laboratory-grade sieves and advanced dehydrating equipment. This process ensures smooth, clean ashes, providing an enhanced experience for all your Rapé preparations.
