Rapé Sananga

Sananga Rapé is made with Sabiá, a very strong variation of Nicotiana rustica, and ashes of burnt roots of Tabernaemontana sananho, the same shrub that originates the ancient concoction that is known as Sananga, a form of eye drop medicine that is traditionally used to help with issues such as glaucoma, dry eyes, cataracts, and chronic headaches, in addition to soothing the spirit and boosting vital energy.

Tabernaemontana sananho

Popularly known across Brazilian cultures as Sananga or “Forest Eye Drop” (Colírio da Floresta), this Amazon native shrub has been present in indigenous customs since immemorial times, and has now made its way to even urban rituals of natural medicine practitioners. The Sananga root is highly coveted, as it is from this plant part that the deccoction that is used to create medicinal extracts comes from, where aphsodisiac and stimulant properties reside, according to Shamanic principles.

The spirit of the Sananga is capable of “reading” a person’s energetic patterns that are unbalanced or disrupted by spiritual or pstycho-somatic ailments known as “panemas”. It works to bring this energy back to a soothing stability and harmony with Nature, expanding the reach of the third eye and promoting ocular improvements as well, such as a better perception of colors and increased sharpness of visions.

It is the custom for native Amazonian hunters to make use of medicines containing Tabernaemontana sananho before embarking on their journeys to sharpen their perception of the world around them. Records of practitioners who have been in contact with this plant state that it can even help someone better feel and understand others’ intentions, and to open their heart and mind for Destiny’s blessings.
