Sananga & Rapé

Sananga – Potent Eye Drops

Sananga is a traditional Amazonian remedy made from the Tabernaemontana undulata plant. The fermented extract contains powerful alkaloids, including ibogaine-like compounds, and is applied as eye drops.

Traditionally used to enhance spiritual vision and clarity—especially through the “third eye”—Sananga is also known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant benefits that support overall eye health. It is believed to help clear panema (stagnant or negative energy), promoting emotional clarity and inner balance.

During application, one drop is placed in each eye while lying down. A brief but intense burning sensation typically lasts 1–2 minutes before fading. Many people report a deep sense of grounding, clarity, and heightened perception within 5–10 minutes.

Sananga is typically applied before your Kambo treatment. Please remove contact lenses prior to use.
Ana brews her own Sananga using wildcrafted root bark sourced directly from Peru. If you’d like to purchase Sananga or learn more, feel free to reach out.

Rapé and Sacred Tobacco

Rapé (pronounced ha-PAY) is a sacred Amazonian snuff used by indigenous tribes for thousands of years. It is a finely powdered mix of medicinal plants, with Nicotiana rustica—a potent jungle tobacco—being its most active ingredient. This form of tobacco is said to be up to 20 times stronger than common Nicotiana tabacum.

Used for grounding, clearing the mind, and deepening meditation or ceremony, rapé is traditionally blown into the nostrils using a pipe. This powerful practice opens energetic channels, clears emotional and mental fog, and is often followed by a deep sense of clarity and focus.

Rapé is used:

• In sacred rituals and tribal ceremonies

• For cleansing and detoxification

• To relieve headaches, inflammation, and fatigue

• To reconnect with higher self or spirit

The high nicotine content stimulates neurochemicals like dopamine and epinephrine, which can enhance awareness and presence. Some tribes also use rapé after meals or socially, depending on tradition.

Some researchers speculate that rapé may assist with pineal gland decalcification or memory-related conditions like Alzheimer’s, though this remains an area of early study.
