Kuntanawa (Lutikawa) | Cecropia angustifolia
We are so happy to be working with the Kuntanawa allowing us to support them directly via trade and charity.
Derived from the leaf of the Lutikawa plant, its medicinal properties can be used to control high blood pressure, to cure nausea, stomach pain, and migraines. Lutikawa also strengthens and organizes the immune system to fight many diseases. Traditionally brewed into a tea to build the immune system but all of its benefits can be found in this Lutikawa Rapé.
Lutikawa is used to balance the nervous system, aid the digestion and problems with the stomach. It will almost instantly silence the mind upon application. It also assists in breaking the vibration of attachment in the physical and energetic bodies, and is thus indicated to help break drug and other kinds of addiction. Recommended for people with high stress or in high stress situations. Grounds and centers. Lowers the blood pressure but not contraindicated for people with low blood pressure.
Located in the Brazilian Amazon.
The people of Kuntanawa are one of the twelve known indigenous tribes that live in the state of Acre.
During the beginning of the 20th century, the people almost became extinct by the arrival of the rubber tapper. For almost a century the people stayed off the map from the Brazilian government. The descendants were thought to be wiped out, from the genocide of the Kuntanawa people. At the turn of the 21st century, the Kuntanawa leaders, elders Milton and Mariana, their children and their grandchildren resorted to the government in search of their rights as the protectors of the Kuntanawa land.
This started a new page in history and in the life of the forest, bringing hope to resurrect the knowledge and traditions of their people. Kuntanawa is currently in a phase of reconstruction of their people, spirit, culture, history, and language. There is a focus to heal from the discrimination of their ancestral heritage.
The Kuntanawa nation currently has a modest population spread throughout three villages. There are a total of 100 people, although approximately 400 Kuntanawa can be found in different cities and communities along the riverside.
The challenge of the people of Kuntanawa is survival techniques and self-sustainability that were traditionally taught by their ancestors. These challenges have resulted in the motivation of Kuntanawa to rediscover their traditional ways
