​What is Sananga?

Sananga is a traditional Amazonian plant medicine made from the roots and bark of the Tabernaemontana undulata shrub, commonly used by indigenous tribes for its powerful healing and spiritual benefits. Primarily applied as eye drops, Sananga is known for its intense yet brief stinging sensation, which is believed to cleanse the mind, sharpen perception, and enhance energetic alignment. Indigenous traditions associate Sananga with improved vision—both physically and spiritually—helping individuals gain clarity, focus, and a deeper connection to their inner selves.

​

Beyond its spiritual applications, Sananga is also valued for its medicinal properties. It is believed to help detoxify the body, reduce inflammation, and support the nervous system, making it a holistic tool for overall well-being. Some practitioners use it to alleviate eye conditions, headaches, and energetic blockages, facilitating emotional release and deeper meditative states. Due to its potent effects, Sananga is often incorporated into ceremonial settings, where it is used to prepare individuals for experiences with other plant medicines or to enhance mental and emotional resilience.

As a facilitator, incorporating Sananga into a guided practice requires deep respect for its origins and proper understanding of its effects. Ensuring a safe and intentional space allows participants to fully embrace the medicine’s potential for clarity, healing, and transformation. Whether used as a standalone practice or in conjunction with other holistic modalities, Sananga serves as a profound tool for those seeking to enhance their spiritual awareness, release stagnant energies, and cultivate a heightened state of presence.
