'Positive Inspirational Upliftment'
 
Alfavaca de Mata is a forest basil inhabited by an extremely gentle and uplifting spirit being. Its loving positivity can rapidly transform misfortune and discomfort but should not be used to exchange the inner work that needs to be done.
 
Alfavaca da Mata or “forest basil”, is a wild Amazonian relative of culinary basil, known for its bright, minty-clove aroma and subtle energetic power. Its physical appearance is a small, leafy herbaceous plant that thrives in moist, semi-shaded areas of the forest. It has shiny green leaves that are narrow and slightly toothed while delicate white to pale lavender flowers grow in clusters on upright stalks from the branch. Alfavaca grows rather quickly and abundantly, making it a readily accessible ally for forest-dwelling communities.
 
Traditionally the fragrant forest herb is used for cleansing, restoring harmony and emotional upliftment. It is mainly applied in baths, teas and smudging. Alfavaca brings inspiration, peace, joy and protection during difficult times while strengthening the spiritual conduct. 
 
Alfavaca also serves as an excellent companion during Ayahuasca Ceremonies to stabilize the energy field, calm the heart and integrate spiritual visions.
 
Shamans have shared to use Alfavaca de Mata facing material difficulties, by beating the leaves on the bodies to remove negative energies, ward off jealousy, confiscate energetic persecution and bringing comfort and security to our spiritual firmness. 
 
The spirit of Alfavaca, physically represented as aromatic forest basil is a master in cleansing the so called “panema,” the energetic heaviness that clouds clarity and spirit. “Panema” is known to accumulate negatively in the human energy field and leads to discomfort and misfortune.
With Alfavacas energy "Panema" is more easily removed to prevent bringing illness by not allowing negative energy to accumulate in the energy field of a person.
 
Alfavaca Rapé is one of the most versatile and revered herbs in some tribes traditions. Because of its softness and clarity, it can be chosen for children, elders, or anyone in a vulnerable or transitional moment. It is seen as a gentle teacher which is subtle and kind but precise in its effect.
 
Alchemistically transformed into a Rapé mixture it offers a sharp yet manageable opening, quickly clearing the sinuses and leaving light high-frequency clarity. This blend is ideal for daily spiritual hygiene and emotional balance. Users often report a refreshing sense of mental clarity and a feeling of being “reset” emotionally and spiritually cleansed helping to reconnect with inner guidance.
 
Alfavaca Rapé is recognized for its powerful ability to eliminate negative energies that can adhere during the day. This rapé is ideal for those who feel affected by stagnant or negative energies in their environment, either by interactions with other people or places with dense energy. It has an immense capability to open a flow of abundant inspiration to transform realities or to start new cycles.
 
By facilitating the recovery of a natural state of mind and energy it allows for second chances of entering enlightened timelines instead of the ones that have led to stressful situations or circumstances. It is commonly not used when longing for strength or depth, but for brightness, cleansing, and energetic redirection.
 
The benefits of Alfavaca Rapé include nasal decongestion and vasodilator properties, thus aiding relaxation and brain oxygenation. It is a plant that is part of the list of medicinal plants recognized by the SUS (Unified Health System) for its healing, astringent, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, carminative and antibacterial properties. It has a refreshing aroma and is rich in manganese and copper.
 
Alfavaca is considered a plant of the wind, linked to the elements of air and subtle movement strongly stimulating the pineal gland and opening the crown chakra. Usually it is rather light in the body yet energetically potent which makes it suitable for carrying away heavy burdensome thoughts or rebalancing emotional states, especially when clouded by stress.
 
Nevertheless it has the ability to offer a variety of intense sensations throughout the body cleansing negative energies. In turn it promotes excellent meditation conditions and concentration enhancement.
 
Stabilizing the mental state enables a deeper connection to higher expanded levels of consciousness are commonly reported effects that lead to an opening up to good inspiration and a boosting of guiding intuition in spiritual work.
 
Alfavaca da Mata leads the path for positive relationships, heart-based action, easing confusion and realigning one’s inner compass. On the other hand it is often used to remove fatigue from the spiritual body. Being deeply respected and applied across many areas of daily life is what makes this divine blend so unique.
 
More than a plant teacher it is a friend of daily life. Easy to grow and quick to act, it’s a go-to plant when the air feels heavy, the spirit unfocused or the path unclear. Whether in a tea, a bath, a Rapé or a handful of crushed leaves rubbed on the skin, Alfavaca is used to brighten the day and clear the way.
 
Even though this holy medicine can truly work its magic, maintaining a clean energetic environment without the use of Rapé contributes to a sustainable mental and physical health, helping to avoid emotional and physical wear and tear. It should not be compensated with the constant use of the sacred Alfavaca mixture.
