Sananga Eye Drops are a traditional companion medicine prepared from the roots of the Tabernaemontana plant. Valued within Indigenous Amazonian traditions, they are approached as a practice of clarity, presence, and intentional awareness, becoming known for their distinctive warming sensation that gradually gives way to stillness and focused perception.

Traditional Perspectives on Sananga

Supporting Visual Clarity
Within Indigenous traditions, Sananga is valued for helping refresh the eyes and support clear, focused vision. Many practitioners describe experiencing a heightened sense of visual clarity following its use.

Traditional Eye Care
For generations, Sananga has been incorporated into traditional eye care practices and has historically been used in relation to conditions affecting vision, including cataracts, glaucoma, and myopia. These uses reflect Indigenous knowledge and should not be interpreted as established medical treatments.

Energetic & Mental Cleansing
Sananga is traditionally regarded as a companion for clearing stagnant energy and mental heaviness, helping create a greater sense of presence, focus, and inner spaciousness.

Ceremonial Awareness & Inner Vision
Within many Amazonian traditions, Sananga is used before prayer, meditation, hunting, and ceremony to cultivate clarity, sharpen perception, and deepen intentional practice.

Supporting Calm & Presence
Many practitioners describe Sananga as encouraging a grounded, centered state following the initial intensity, supporting relaxation, emotional balance, and mindful awareness.

A Companion During Personal Transformation
In some Indigenous and contemporary ceremonial settings, Sananga has been incorporated into broader practices of personal transformation, where it is valued as a companion for cultivating discipline, awareness, and resilience while working through deeply rooted patterns and habits.

Our Sananga begins with the root and bark of Shanesamate (Tabernaemontana undulata), sustainably harvested by our Huni Kuin family in Aldeia Novo Tal, Feijó, Acre, Brazil.The root and bark are carefully harvested and dried by our Huni Kuin family before we turn it into small batch liquid dropper here at our headquarter in Nevada City, CA.

Our Sananga eye drops are then handcrafted in small batches by our founder, Su-Ata, at our headquarters in Nevada City, California. Freshness and potency are guaranteed. Having received traditional training in the respectful preparation of Sananga, Su-Ata prepares each batch using authentic methods while honoring the lineage, intention, and families who continue to carry this medicine.

How to Apply Sananga Eye Drops

Preparation

• Choose a quiet, comfortable setting where you can remain undisturbed for approximately 30 minutes.
  
• Wash your hands thoroughly before application.
  

Application

• While seated or lying comfortably, apply 1–2 drops into each eye.
  
• Gently close your eyes and bring your attention to slow, steady breathing.
  
• Allow the initial warmth or stinging sensation to arise and pass naturally. This is a natural and expected part of the Sananga experience, typically softening within several minutes before giving way to greater stillness and clarity.
  

Care & Storage

• Avoid touching the dropper tip directly to the eyes or skin.
  
• If you are new to Sananga, begin with one or two applications per week, allowing your body and eyes to become familiar with the experience.
  
• Do not use while driving or operating machinery.
  
• Store refrigerated when possible and away from direct sunlight and heat.
  
• For personal use only. Do not share bottles or applicators.
  
• Discontinue use if unusual irritation or discomfort persists.
