Sananga – Sacred Amazonian Eye Medicine

Sananga is a traditional Amazonian plant medicine prepared from the roots of the Tabernaemontana shrub, revered by tribes such as the Yawanawá, Huni Kuin, and Matsés. This golden-hued eye medicine is applied directly to the eyes, where it acts as a powerful agent for both physical healing and spiritual purification.

Healing Benefits of Sananga

• Cleanses and strengthens the eyes – traditionally used to sharpen vision, improve focus, and bring relief to eye strain.

• Supports ocular health – said to help with conditions such as conjunctivitis, infections, cataracts, glaucoma, myopia, astigmatism, and other visual impairments.

• Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties – Sananga has been shown in ethnobotanical studies to contain natural compounds that reduce inflammation and fight harmful bacteria or fungi.

• Detoxifies energetic blockages – known to dissolve panema (negative energy, depression, or low vitality) and restore balance to the mind and spirit.

• Expands awareness – heightens perception, color definition, and spiritual vision, often used before plant medicine ceremonies to clear energetic and visual channels.

• Emotional and energetic healing – helps release suppressed emotions, clears heavy energies, and opens the way to deeper meditation and inner peace.

Conditions Traditionally Treated with Sananga

• Weak or blurred vision

• Early stages of cataracts

• Glaucoma and intraocular pressure imbalances

• Eye infections or conjunctivitis

• Headaches and migraines related to eye strain

• Spiritual conditions such as panema (energetic stagnation, depression, anxiety, lack of motivation)

• General detoxification of the mind, spirit, and body

Important Note

While Sananga has been used for centuries in indigenous traditions, scientific research on its medical efficacy is still emerging. Its strong stinging effect is part of the cleansing process, and it should be used carefully, with proper guidance. It is not a replacement for medical treatment prescribed by a qualified eye doctor.

✨ Sananga is more than eye medicine—it is a sacred tool for vision, clarity, and the realignment of spirit with nature’s order.
