Sananga
Sananga is a powerful and sacred eye medicine made from the root or bark of the Tabernaemontana undulata shrub a “milkwood” species in the family Apocynaceae. Used for centuries by Indigenous Amazonian tribes, it is applied directly into the eyes and is known for its potent sting and deep ability to purify both physical vision and inner perception.
In the dense Amazon, where clarity of vision is crucial for survival, hunters traditionally use Sananga to sharpen eyesight and heighten awareness. Beyond its practical use, Sananga is considered a sacred plant ally—a cleanser of stagnant energy and a spiritual guide. It works on both the eyes and the “inner sight”—teaching truth-seeing, perception, and alignment.
Even though Sananga is famous for its effects on vision and visualization, this medicine is an indigenous all-purpose remedy. It is applied as a febrifuge, emetic, diuretic, calmative, and to treat several other diseases. Furthermore, Sananga is often used to cure skin illnesses (dermatitis), suppress appetite, ease dental problems, counteract snakebite wounds and poisoning, as well as to cure eye wounds and rheumatism. Another curative ability of the Apocynaceae family is its widely explored antimicrobial activity, indicating powerful antioxidant, anticancer, antipyretic (fever-reducing), anti-inflammatory, anti-mycobacterial, and antimicrobial effects.
While formal studies are limited, traditional use and practitioner reports suggest Sananga may offer:
- Antimicrobial and antifungal properties
- Relief from inflammation and dry eyes
- Regulation of the nervous system (sympathetic to parasympathetic balance)
- Emotional clearing, especially of grief and suppressed tension
- Headache and migraine relief due to stress release
Sananga is more than a remedy—it is considered a spiritual ally. Said to burn through illusion, it clears the clouded lenses of perception, reconnects us to our inner vision, and aligns us with the truth of how we see the world.
In Amazonian ceremony, Sananga often opens the path—it is the threshold medicine, preparing body and spirit for deeper work. To receive it is to accept an invitation to see more clearly—outwardly and inwardly—and to meet life with courage, clarity, and humility.
