Ocaina Ambil: 

Discover the powerful healing properties of Ocaina Ambil, made from wild rainforest mapacho in the La Chorrera-Amazonas region of Colombia, combined with vegetable salts from Amazonian plants. This traditional remedy has been used by Amazon tribes for generations to clear the mind and sharpen perception, leading to what the Elders call "golden thinking." This state of mind aligns you with the universal cosmic masculine principle, offering clarity and positive direction in life.

Ocaina Ambil also cleanses the body and provides spiritual protection. Known for its slightly saltier and stronger potency compared to other varieties, Ocaina Ambil should be used carefully. Pairing it with Super Food is recommended to balance its energy. Sourced directly from the remote Colombian Amazon by the Ocaina tribe, this Ambil is prepared with care and high intentions by indigenous families, making it a truly powerful remedy.

 Ocaina people are a rare and ancient tribe, their lineage tracing back through centuries of rich Amazonian history. Living in the remote reaches of the Colombian Amazon, the Ocaina have preserved their cultural heritage and traditional practices. Their deep connection to the rainforest and its plants is evident in the meticulous care they take in preparing Ambil. The Ocaina's intimate knowledge of the natural world and their spiritual wisdom are integral to the potency and efficacy of their remedies. At Katukina.US, we honor and support the Ocaina tribe, bringing their revered Ambil to those seeking its profound benefits.

Pablo Ocaina is one of the leaders of the Ocaina tribe located in the Colombian Amazonia region also known as LaChorrera.

This blend is especially suited for those new to Hapé or preferring a subtler touch. It can be used alone for its mild euphoric and calming effects or mixed with other Rusticas or ashes to customize your spiritual journey.

Blend Profile:

Arara Sanu Blend Hapé is a potent snuff originating from the Arara tribe in the upper Juruá region of the Amazon Rainforest. Crafted by the son of the main chief, this blend combines the revered Tsunu ashes with high-quality Moi, resulting in a fine, grey powder that delivers a sharp yet balanced experience. The term "Sanu" signifies the use of Tsunu, a highly respected ash known for its cleansing and balancing effects within Amazonian traditions.

Upon application, Arara Sanu introduces a sharp, intense sting typical of Tsunu-based Rapés. This initial intensity gradually mellows, allowing for a soothing and focused sensation. Users often experience a strong clearing effect that removes mental distractions and emotional blockages, making it an excellent choice for spiritual practices and meditation.

The grounding energy provided by Arara Sanu is particularly beneficial during rituals or moments requiring emotional balance and focus. While mild eye-watering is common due to the potency of the ashes, it serves as an indicator of the blend's purifying properties. Overall, Arara Sanu offers a stimulating yet harmonious experience, making it ideal for those seeking clarity and grounding in their spiritual journey.
