Frequently Asked Questions

We are Aho Great Spirit, based in the United Kingdom. After a vision received through working with master plants, the message was clear — to share the ancient wisdom and sacred traditions of the Amazon with the world. We source directly from tribes and indigenous communities across the Amazon, supporting them and their arts and medicines. We also donate a percentage of every sale to Amazon Watch Charity to help protect the rainforest.

Master plants are a group of sacred plants used for centuries by indigenous Amazonian healers and shamans for deep healing, spiritual growth and transformation. They are considered teachers — each one carrying its own wisdom, energy and medicine.

A tincture is a concentrated herbal extract made with alcohol, which draws out the active properties of a plant for therapeutic use. Our tinctures can be taken directly under the tongue or diluted in water.

Alcohol-based tinctures are generally stronger. Our glycerine extracts are made with organic vegetable glycerine, which preserves the plant's properties without alcohol. Glycerine extracts are great for those who prefer to avoid alcohol.

Our 30x pastes are highly concentrated botanical extracts — among the most potent forms of plant medicine we offer. The 30x refers to the concentration ratio. Ideal for those seeking a deeper, more intensive experience.

Hapé (pronounced ha-pay) is a sacred shamanic snuff used by indigenous tribes across the Amazon for centuries. Made from finely ground Amazonian tobacco and medicinal plants, it is used ceremonially for grounding, clearing the mind and deepening meditation.

A kuripe is a V-shaped pipe used to self-administer hapé. A tepi is a longer pipe used by one person to blow hapé into another's nostril. Both are traditional ceremonial tools handcrafted by indigenous artisans.

We work with indigenous tribes and local farmers who harvest using traditional and sustainable methods. Many of our plants are wildcrafted — gathered from their natural habitat in the Amazon.
