SANANGA - THE PLANT OF THE HEALTHY EYES
🌿 Sananga – Botanical & Functional SummaryÂ
Sananga eye drops comes from the roots of Tabernaemontana undulata, a small shrub of the Apocynaceae family, native to the Amazon rainforest.
It produces white, jasmine-like flowers (similar in shape to jasmine, but without fragrance) and contains a rich profile of indole alkaloids typical of this botanical family.
Main Active Compounds (Indole Alkaloids)
Sananga contains several naturally occurring alkaloids, including:
Voacangine
Coronaridine
Tabernaemontanine
Apparicine, heyneanine, undulatine (minor alkaloids)
These compounds are known for potential biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vascular effects — although current scientific studies are still limited.
🌿 Why It Is Traditionally Used for the Eyes
Indigenous Amazonian communities use Sananga as an eye drop to improve clarity of vision, support the eyes during hunting, and relieve tired or irritated eyes.
Increased micro-circulation caused by temporary vasodilation from the alkaloids
Natural tear stimulation, helping to clean the eye surface
Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial potential (based on phytochemistry of the plant)
Neurological stimulation, creating a sensation of sharper focus and visual awareness

🌿 Which part of the plant is used to make Sananga?
Sananga is not an oil, but a water-based extract traditionally prepared by Amazonian tribes. It is made primarily from the roots of Tabernaemontana undulata or Tabernaemontana sananho.
The roots are grated or pounded while fresh and then macerated in water, producing the well-known brown liquid used for eye drops, nasal drops, or oral micro-doses.
While some traditions also include a small amount of root bark, the roots are considered the most potent part, because they contain the highest concentration of indole alkaloids.
These active molecules contribute to Sananga’s effects on vision clarity, ocular circulation, mental focus, energy cleansing, and emotional release.
The extract is never oily, and there is no use of essential oils or lipophilic carriers.
Its potency comes entirely from the alkaloid-rich root juice, diluted and filtered according to traditional methods.
