Sourced With Intention
At Sacred Plants, sourcing begins with relationship. Our Hapé is made fresh in Brazil by Indigenous medicine makers from the tribes represented in our collection. Our kambo comes from the Katukina people of Brazil, through a supplier who was taught by Fernando Katukina himself and has worked with them face to face since 2015. Our cacao is made to order in the Peruvian Amazon and shipped directly from Peru for freshness. Our tapestries, altar cloths, jewelry, and ceremonial pipes come to us through friends at the Aya Madre Healing Center outside Iquitos, Peru. In Oregon, our close friend Michael of Touch of the Wild handcrafts our tinctures, often with botanicals he harvests himself.
Across everything we carry, we seek the best ingredients and materials available, with close attention to origin, responsible practices, and respect for the people and living world involved. Our intention is to be a trustworthy bridge, honoring the makers, traditions, and relationships behind what we share.

How our kambo is gathered
To the Katukina, the kambo frog is a relative and a teacher, not a resource. Everything about how kambo is collected follows from that, and it is the real reason the practice is as gentle as it is.
- CatchThe frog is caught by hand.
- ScrapeThe secretion is carefully scraped from its back.
- ReleaseIt goes back unharmed, right where it was found.
No tying, no stretching, no restraint of any kind. Some traditions secure the frog to increase the yield. The Katukina do not.
- An honest note
- Kambo is a secretion the frog releases when handled, a mild stress response, so no harvest can be entirely free of stress. The Katukina way keeps it to a minimum: brief handling, no restraint, straight back home. Be wary of anyone who promises more.
- Timing
- Harvesting happens only outside breeding season, so the frogs are never disturbed at the point that matters most for the population, and outside the rainy season, when the secretion can lose strength.
What is Hapé?
Hapé, sometimes written Rapé or Rapeh, is a ceremonial snuff prepared by Indigenous peoples of the Amazon rainforest. It is made from finely sifted medicinal plants, sacred tree ashes and Mapacho, a traditional Amazonian tobacco, in a process that can take days or weeks.
Across the Amazon it is far more than a substance. Every blend carries the knowledge, prayers and practices of the community that prepares it, and recipes differ from one tribe to the next. People often describe grounding, mental clarity, a sense of connection with nature and a period of stillness, though each experience is its own.
Read the full guide to HapéChoosing Your First Hapé
There is no single right first blend. Begin gently and choose one that meets your intention rather than the strongest thing on the shelf.
Preparing Yourself
The ceremony begins well before the medicine. Intention, environment and the quality of your attention all shape what follows.
After Ceremony
Insight sometimes arrives days or months later. Integration is simply making room for the experience in ordinary life.
Questions we are asked most
Does Hapé contain nicotine?
Yes. Traditional Hapé contains Mapacho, an Amazonian tobacco that naturally contains nicotine. Mapacho is culturally and botanically distinct from commercial tobacco, but it still deserves the same respect given to any product containing nicotine.
Who should be cautious with Hapé?
Extra caution is generally advised for anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, with uncontrolled high blood pressure or serious cardiovascular disease, following recent nasal or sinus surgery, with a significant respiratory illness, or taking medication affected by nicotine. If you are uncertain, do not guess. Speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
What should I expect?
Experiences vary considerably. The blend, the amount used, your preparation, your environment, your physical and emotional state and your previous experience all play a part. It helps to arrive open rather than expecting the same experience every time.
How should I store Hapé?
Keep it somewhere cool and dry, tightly sealed, away from moisture, heat and direct sunlight, and out of reach of children and pets. Stored well it stays fresh for a long while, though the aroma may change gradually over time.
There is more in the Knowledge Center than fits here. It also covers the Indigenous traditions behind each blend, the felt character and relative intensity we use to group them, how to prepare for ceremony, how to meet the experience itself, and what integration can look like afterward.
