CURRENCY:

Shamans use the Mapacho plant to induce various visionary experiences in which they are able to commune with nature and deepen the spiritual dimension of their lives. Visionary experiences have also been the basis of their creative work. The original sacred chants and paintings of the Aborigines were created precisely from inspiration in altered states of consciousness.

The original users also believed that tobacco had powerful healing properties and so it was used to heal humans at all levels. Due to its presence of MAO inhibitors, tobacco also has antidepressant effects, helping to relieve mental and physical tension.

Storage

Store in a dark environment. Tobacco needs to breathe, so air must be provided. It is advisable to wrap it in a paper bag. It can be stored at room temperature, but ideally in the fridge.

Mapacho is sold as a collector's item/incense.
