Tepi Applicator : A sacred shamanic instrument and ceremonial pipe for administering medicinal rapé and herbal snuff to others.

In a similar way to working with the master plant teachers, when you consume rapé, you are also signing up for an apprenticeship with the medicinal plants within your blend on a more subtle level. As you continue to work with your rapé, you enter into a dialogue with the plants and the plant spirits.

Kuripe Self Applicator: A Kuripe is a traditional indigenous tool used for self-administering powdered plant medicines, such as tobacco snuff or other herbal mixtures, through the nasal passages. It’s commonly used by various indigenous tribes in South America for spiritual, medicinal, and ceremonial purposes.

Remember, using a Kuripe for administering plant medicines is a cultural practice with spiritual significance for many indigenous communities. If you’re new to this practice or the specific medicine, it’s a good idea to research and learn about its traditional use, potential effects, and any safety considerations. It’s also important to approach such practices with respect and mindfulness. If you’re considering using a Kuripe, consulting with experienced practitioners or healers knowledgeable about the plant medicine you’re using is advisable.
