Mold Tobacco
A tobacco that has undergone a controlled natural fermentation process. This method elevates its vibrational charge, making it the heart of medicines intended for energetic cleansing.
Rope Tobacco
Pure tobacco, cured and rolled under pressure. It provides a solid and stable base, allowing the properties of sacred ashes to be released in a balanced manner.
Sap Tobacco
Tobacco of organic origin used primarily in the preparation of Pixurí. Its softer nature makes it the ideal vehicle for daily use medicines and aromatherapy.
Cipó
Amazonian term for vines or lianas of the jungle. In the case of Vena de Pajé, a small vine with an extremely intense aroma is used.
Sacred Ashes
Ashes do not act as filler components. The ash is the vehicle that allows the medicine to penetrate the body's channels, providing the specific strength and "spirit" of each tree.
Pineal Decalcification
A process specifically referred to in the Vena de Pajé variety, which seeks to clear subtle perception to facilitate expanded states of consciousness.
