For our rapé, the seeds of the mocambo tree are crushed.

The Indians of North America used the stem, leaves and flowers of the plant for nerve pain and restlessness. Nowadays passion flower is mainly used to improve sleep, in case of anxiety and as a sedative. After the leaves have been crushed and burned, the ashes can be added as a component in rapé.
