Yawanawa Mulateiro is a powerful snuff made with ashes from the bark of the Mulateiro tree known as 'Pau Mulato' (Calycophyllum spruceanum). 

This rapè has an optimum ratio of Mapacho and ashes.  It provides a deep and powerful initial impact that ebs away along with any bodily and mental tensions the user is holding.  It is often used for the purposes of bringing focus and concentration whether in meditation or during other spiritual & shamanic practices.

In traditional folk medicine Mulateiro bark is used as a tea to remedy rheumatism and fevers.  It is known to contain anti-ageing and anti-parasitic properties and is utilised in cosmetic products for such.  Infact, the local people recognise that the speed in which Mulateiro  regrows after its smooth bark is removed demonstrates its regenerative properties.
