ARE RAPÉ AND AYAHUASCA THE SAME?
When we talk about ancestral medicines, each territory can count on master plants and ancient traditions to cure, heal or connect with the Spirit. And yes, there are several options, and perhaps we even ignore many of them, but in the Amazonian territory there are two medicines that can complement each other, and in turn, they have substantial differences in terms of their effects and how they are accessed: We talk about rapé and ayahuasca.
For this reason, today we will tell you three premises in which you will not only notice their differences, but you will even realize that they require certain security conditions to be experienced from fullness and consciousness. You can use one of them alone, and with the other you will have to have the guidance and supervision of an experienced person; so you can live with each of them a journey to the depths of your being.
LET’S START BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN INGREDIENTS THAT RAPÉ AND AYAHUASCA HAVE
Rapé is an ancient medicine from the Amazon that is made from tobacco (although there are rapés without tobacco with Rapé Cielo), tree resins, medicinal plants and ceremonial ashes, which are derived into a fine powder. Its main quality is that it brings you back to the present moment.
On the other hand, ayahuasca is an ancient medicine with entheogenic qualities. What does this mean? That its purpose is to destructure your psyche, so that you can integrate your life experiences. This is a profound experience that can give you an ingrained sense of spirituality towards your life and experiences.

FOR AYAHUASCA YOU NEED THE SUPERVISION OF A GUIDE, SHAMAN OR EXPERIENCED PERSON, WHILE YOU CAN USE RAPÉ ALONE
When we talked about ayahuasca as a medicine that deconstructs the psyche, we must also take into account that this process requires accompaniment to be experienced safely. Entheogenic medicines modify your perception of reality as you usually perceive it, being able to generate visions or extrasensory experiences. On the contrary, rapé is a medicine that will not alter your perception of reality ; Rather, it will bring you back to the present, it will silence your thoughts and take you into your inner silence… And you can safely use it alone!

THE MAIN FUNCTION OF RAPÉ IS TO BRING YOU TO THE PRESENT MOMENT, WHILE AYAHUASCA DESTRUCTURES YOUR PSYCHE TO INTEGRATE IT
By now you must have identified that they are different medicines, and in part, it is because of their purpose. While the purpose of rapé is to return you to the now so that you can experience the present with awareness of yourself and your reality, ayahuasca is an entheogen that, through visions, overturns the habitual line of your psyche in order to integrate your life experiences . While in one you experience the eterno present , with the other you can live different timelines (such as past, present and future).
THE RAPÉ IS PROJECTED THROUGH A BLOW, WHILE THE AYAHUASCA IS DRINK
The main ingredients of these medicines and their preparation are also different; the same when we talk about their consumption and experience. Rapé is a fine powder that is projected through the nostrils by means of applicators or projectors called Kuripes, while Ayahuasca is a concoction that is prepared by mixing the ayahuasca and chacruna plants.
