Sananga

Embrace the profound healing powers of Sananga, a sacred medicine from the heart of the Amazon, known scientifically as Tabernaemontana undulata, belonging to the Apocynaceae family. Thriving in the depths of the Brazilian rainforest, this bark essence is traditionally harnessed by the indigenous Kaxinawa, Katukina, Yawanawa and other tribes through a process that involves boiling its root. Historically, it has been used to combat Panemas, a term denoting spiritual afflictions.

The remarkable efficacy of Sananga is attributed to ibogaine, a potent compound known for its anti-addictive qualities, capable of inducing states of deep relaxation and facilitating profound spiritual connections. In its traditional application, Sananga serves as an eye drop, employed by warriors to sharpen their vision and enhance their awareness of the subtlest vibrations in the dense forest before a hunt.

Sananga's benefits, however, extend far beyond its physical ingredients, operating on both the physical and spiritual spectrums of being. It is believed that the "Spirit of Sananga" — an entity representing both energy and consciousness — addresses illnesses at their very source.

Eyes are the windows to the soul, our eyes not only reflect but also store everything we witness and project, including the imprints of our karmic journeys. Sananga seeks out imbalances within our energy systems, dissolving the patterns that contribute to spiritual blockages or Panemas. Its application is said to realign the soul with the natural world's spiritual essence, enhancing spiritual vision, including the awakening of the third eye, and enriching inner sight.

Sananga is reputed to clear emotional, physical, and spiritual blockages, fostering energy balance or amplification, pinpointing and purging the origins of diseases and obstructions. This leads to a state of equilibrium, sharpened focus, and tranquility. By dispelling negative energies, stimulating the third eye and heart chakras, it encourages harmony, widens spiritual connections, and stimulates the pineal gland.

Shamans describe “panemas” as a collection of lower energies present in a person’s energetic body due to a sedentary lifestyle full of negative thinking and inappropriate habits that are detrimental to an individual’s physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. These low energies are stored in the energetic body and cause sadness, depression, physical and mental stress, making it impossible for us to have harmonious relationships, be successful and achieve our life goals.

Sananga offers a gentle yet profound energetic reset, effectively eliminating these lower energies. Following its application, individuals often report a sense of upliftment, empowerment, and an enhanced capacity to pursue and achieve their life's goals, embodying a transformation that reconnects them with their highest potential and the harmonious essence of existence.
