Hapé: Powered by Plants, Free from Harm
House of Salt would like to introduce a natural tobacco alternative that may help you quit smoking. Hapé is a ceremonial snuff made by indigenous tribes of the Amazon using ancient methods. It is a finely ground powder of organic tobacco mixed with medicinal plants, prepared with prayer and intention.
What is Hapé?
Hapé offers many potential benefits, including:
- A pleasant sensation or slight tingling in the nasal passage can help clear the sinuses.
- The tobacco in hapé can act as an appetite suppressant.
- Your home, car, and clothes won't smell like cigarettes.
- Your teeth and gums can begin to recover from smoking. We also offer a gum and tooth recovery system made with pure organic products.
Hapé for Smoking Cessation
If you are a smoker who is required to quit before a surgery, this can be especially difficult, but it’s crucial for a faster recovery. Blood flow is essential for healing, and smoking can significantly impair this process. Hapé offers a potential alternative to help you manage your addiction and prepare for your surgery.

Hapé and the Journey of Recovery
For many, battling addiction involves a “step-down”—a mindful pause between old habits and new beginnings. Hapé can serve as this intentional pause. The act of preparing and using Hapé is a calming, ritualistic process that encourages mindfulness and presence. It provides a noticeable shift without the harmful side effects or “high” that can lead to more cravings.
Hapé can be a powerful ally in managing cravings, especially for those transitioning from smoking. It can also act as a natural appetite suppressant. While it’s a tobacco product and should be used with respect, we believe in its potential as a supportive tool in addiction recovery—a grounding, ritualistic alternative that can help bridge the gap between addiction and healing.
Important Considerations:
- Hapé is a tobacco product and can cause purging (physical cleansing) as it clears the nasal passages. This is a normal, and for some, therapeutic, part of the experience.
- We honor the spiritual and ceremonial traditions from which Hapé originates and offer it with deep respect for its history and purpose.
