Lupuna Blanca - Ceiba pentandra, kapok tree (lu-poo-na blanca)
Lupuna is one of the largest and most majestic trees in the Amazon, standing tall and proud in the forest canopy. Its presence carries a grounded yet expansive energy, offering strength, courage, and self-esteem. The colour of this essence’s energetic medicine is turquoise, symbolising the tree’s upward expansion from the earth toward the limitless skies — calm, serene, and uplifting.
At times, life asks more of us — moments when we face crossroads, big decisions, or cycles of change and growth. Negative thoughts and limiting beliefs can make us feel small, contracted, and unable to see beyond our comfort zone. Lupuna reminds us of our innate strength and the courage that already lives within us. Connect to this tree to feel supported, to stand tall, and to expand into your fullest expression.
Each essence has been prepared with its own medicine song, an icaro. Icaros are a form of communication between the shaman and the spirit world, carrying the healing intention and calling forth the tree’s medicine.

Traditionally, it has been used to treat asthma, dysentery, kidney disease, bruises, and fevers. Its exceptionally light fibres have been used as filling for mattresses and pillows. The Kichwa people use its resin to treat hernias.
