Mapacho and Ashes

Mapacho is a name used in several Amazonian traditions for preparations based on Nicotiana rustica, a tobacco species distinct from the more common N. tabacum. This category groups Karmarando’s mapacho and ash-related references with declared origin, format and availability. Nicotiana rustica contains nicotine; traditional use is not evidence of medical efficacy and these products are for adults only.
