Psilocybin- Psilocybin, a compound found in certain mushrooms, shows promise as a treatment for mental health conditions. Its mechanism involves altering brain activity, often leading to reduced activity in regions associated with depression and increased connectivity in areas responsible for introspection and emotional processing. This unique action may facilitate a more effective therapeutic experience than traditional treatments. Psilocybin has demonstrated particular efficacy in alleviating symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). While ongoing research aims to establish its safety and effectiveness, psilocybin-assisted therapy holds potential as a groundbreaking approach to mental health treatment.

CACAO: Did you know that, cacao are rich in vitamins C, E and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium and sodium and good amounts of fiber, not to mention that it increases the production of serotonin in the body, the hormone responsible for our well-being, heart rate, sleep and appetite, improving mood and containing a lot of magnesium, it is a healthy source to fight depression, insomnia, anxiety and so much more. It is a chocolately beverage served with intention and used as a heart opener to increase connection with self and provider.

 

MDMA- MDMA functions by reducing activity within brain regions associated with fear and anxiety responses, particularly the amygdala and insula. Simultaneously, it enhances connectivity between the amygdala and hippocampus. This unique mechanism allows for more effective reprocessing of traumatic memories and deeper emotional engagement during therapeutic processes compared to other treatments. It's important to note that MDMA is currently the sole treatment effective in addressing dissociative-related symptoms and presentations. While MDMA therapy is expected to become federally legal in the next year, for now, individuals are responsible for sourcing their own medication. We can provide guidance and support for harm reduction and the therapeutic process.

Ketamine- Ketamine, originally an anesthetic, has gained recognition as an innovative treatment for mental health disorders. It operates by affecting the brain's glutamate system, which plays a role in mood regulation. Ketamine has shown the ability to rapidly alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts. Its swift action, often within hours or days, sets it apart from traditional treatments. Ketamine therapy has been particularly effective in treatment-resistant depression cases.

 

LSD- LSD, also known as acid, has sparked interest in mental health treatment due to its impact on perception and consciousness. Though not as extensively researched as some other substances, it shows potential in helping individuals with mental health challenges. LSD is thought to work by altering serotonin levels in the brain, leading to shifts in mood and perception. Some studies suggest it may be beneficial in addressing conditions like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), particularly when administered under controlled and guided conditions

Hapé, or rapé, is pronounced ‘haa-pay’ in English.  This plant medicine is a very sacred herbal snuff, made by the indigenous tribes of the Amazon, with Tobacco and varying Amazonian healing plants, leaves, trees, and seeds from native lands. Hapé is applied through the nostrils using an applicator (Kuripe or Tepi) in prayer, meditation, and ceremony. It is used for deep connection to the plants,  animal kingdoms and all of Mother Nature. This healing snuff has the ability to cleanse the mind, purify the thoughts, bring clarity, spiritual alignment, and clear negativity and heaviness from the body, mind, & soul. This plant medicine takes days to make and is a very labor intensive process made in a ceremonial way with chants, song, and prayer.

We are honored to be the leader in the ethical sourcing of Hapé.  Traditional peoples have used this medicine for millennia to connect more deeply to Nature. With great care, we are working directly with indigenous tribes to integrate this ancient plant wisdom into a modern spiritual practice. Our goal is to educate you and provide the necessary resources from which to cultivate a sacred relationship with Hapé and with Tobacco. Tobacco is an extremely powerful plant and these artisanal jungle tobaccos do still have nicotine in them, which can become addictive. Hapé should always be worked with in a ceremonial setting, with prayer and intention. Hapé should never be used habitually, socially, or recreationally. Thank you for respecting the plants and this ancient tradition.
