More About Nukini Forest Breeze Rapé
A Refreshing Medicine for Everyday Use and Ceremony
Nukini Forest Breeze, known among the Nukini as “Gelzinho” (“little ice”), is a beloved Rapé blend made by Fatima Nukini and named for its subtle, refreshing character. It is not sharply minty like menthol, but offers a cooling and soothing sensation that gently clears the senses, calms the mind, and uplifts the spirit. This Rapé is perfect for those seeking a lighter, more accessible medicine for daily alignment, while still maintaining a deep connection to the power of the forest.
This blend is made under the guidance of Fatima Nukini, a respected Nukini medicine woman and Rapé craftswoman. She is a kind and soft-spoken presence, but carries the strength of her ancestors with unmistakable confidence. A spiritual warrior rooted in tradition, Fatima Nukini creates this medicine with a deep understanding of the plants, their energy, and their role in the healing path.
The Cooling Herb Known as “Gelzinho”
The defining ingredient in Forest Breeze is a local herb known as “Gelzinho” — not menthol, but something more subtle and complex. This herb is used by the Nukini for its cooling, cleansing, and harmonizing properties. When used in Rapé, it opens the breath, refreshes the mind, and leaves a gentle sensation of clarity without overwhelming the user.
In their tradition, Gelzinho is also used for preventing and relieving symptoms of the common cold, and for alleviating stress and mental tension. It is a forest remedy that brings balance, especially useful in daily life when emotions build up or when the nervous system is taxed by external pressures.
As Fatima Nukini explains:
“Forest Breeze (Gelzinho) is indicated for day-to-day uses. It’s refreshing and helps to ward off the flu or common cold. It also helps us when we have problems with stress. When used in ceremony, it harmonizes the force and is relaxing.”
Tobacco and Force: A Balanced Foundation
Like most Nukini Rapés, Forest Breeze is made with high-quality Nicotiana rustica, known locally as Sabia or Moi tobacco. This is a potent, sacred variety of tobacco used throughout the Amazon for its cleansing, grounding, and protective properties. It gives this blend its depth, allowing the lighter qualities of the Gelzinho herb to be carried deeply into the body and spirit.
The tobacco provides the strength and focus necessary to open energetic channels, while the cooling herb brings in softness and space. Together, they create a medicine that is both invigorating and calming — a rare balance in the world of Rapé.
A Gentle but Powerful Ally
Forest Breeze is an excellent Rapé for integration work, grounding after Ayahuasca ceremonies, or simply as a tool to refresh and reset during a busy day. Its gentle strength makes it accessible for those new to Rapé, while its spiritual clarity offers depth for seasoned practitioners.
Whether used alone or shared in circle, this blend invites presence, calm, and receptivity. It clears the clutter of the mind, softens the emotions, and leaves behind a sense of lightness that stays with you.
