THREE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RAPÉ AND AYAHUASCA
You might think that in the world of ancient medicines there are not so many differences. That there are several options, but they are all very similar. Which is the same immersion in the shamanic journey of transformation and self-knowledge. And although this is partly true, each ancestral medicine has a particular essence; as well as very different recommendations to immerse yourself in your soul diving experience. And that is the case of rapé and ayahuasca, which although they are ancestral medicines from the Amazon, their experience can be very different and the security conditions for you to live an immersion from love and compassion, too.
RAPÉ AND AYAHUASCA ARE ANCESTRAL MEDICINES, BUT THEY HAVE THEIR DIFFERENCES
Rapé is an ancient medicine that consists of a fine powder that usually includes tobacco (although there are rapés without tobacco, such as Rapé Cielo), resins from sacred trees and plants, and ceremonial ashes from the Elders who prepare and consecrate it for use. medicinal.
Ayahuasca, on the other hand, is an ancient entheogenic medicine, and this means that part of its integration and healing experience is that it can cause visions for a few hours. Its main function is to destructure the psyche and integrate your life experiences, being able to provide a deep experience for the being.

RAPÉ CAN BE USED ALONE, WHILE AYAHUASCA REQUIRES SUPERVISION OF A GUIDE OR ELDER
Rapé is a medicine that you can safely use alone, unlike ayahuasca, which must be administered under the supervision of an experienced guide or an Elder of the indigenous communities.
THE MAIN FUNCTION OF RAPÉ IS TO BRING YOU TO THE PRESENT MOMENT, WHILE AYAHUASCA DESTRUCTURES YOUR PSYCHE TO INTEGRATE IT
Rapé is not an entheogenic medicine as such (although visionary rapé exists). It is made mainly of tobacco, and the first thing you will feel is that you land in the present moment with its silence and depth. Instead, ayahuasca is an entheogen that through visions deconstructs your psyche and then integrates it. In this immersive experience there is no linear time, so you will not necessarily connect with the now.

THE RAPÉ IS BLOWED THROUGH THE NOSE, WHILE THE AYAHUASCA IS DRINK
These two ancient medicines are made from different ingredients. Therefore, it will not be difficult for you to imagine that their consumption is also different. Rapé is a fine powder that is blown through the nose using applicators or projectors called Kuripes, while ayahuasca is a concoction that is prepared by mixing ayahuasca and chacruna plants.
