This hapé is made with ashes of the Murici tree (Byrsonima crassifolia). The Murici is an old traditional plant of the amazon, it is used in hapé to clear energies that accumulate in the lower abdomen, primarily the root and sacral chakras. When theses chakras are cleared, a lot of energetic and spiritual power can awaken.
The Huni Kuin believe that Murici hapé helps to fight fatigue and keeps one spirituality connected. It is also believed to ward off disease as an immune system booster. Murici is strongly associated with having powerful spiritual protective qualities.
