The 7-Day Sananga Dieta: History, Benefits, and Ceremony

Ashley Michaud • August 12, 2024

History of Sananga

Sananga, derived from the roots and bark of the Tabernaemontana genus, is a sacred Amazonian eye medicine traditionally used by indigenous tribes such as the Kaxinawá and Matsés. These tribes have employed Sananga in hunting rituals, believing it sharpens vision, enhances perception, and clears negative energies. Over generations, Sananga has become an integral part of their spiritual practices and healing traditions.


Spiritual and Scientific Benefits

Spiritual Benefits

  1. Clearing Energies: Sananga is believed to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit, removing blockages and negative energies.
  2. Enhanced Vision: Not just physical sight, but also spiritual vision, clarity, and intuition.
  3. Emotional Release: Helps in releasing suppressed emotions and traumas, promoting healing.
  4. Connection with Nature: Deepens the user's connection with nature and the spiritual world.

Scientific Benefits

  1. Antibacterial Properties: Sananga has natural antibacterial properties, helping to cleanse and protect the eyes.
  2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Reduces inflammation, which can help with various eye conditions.
  3. Potential for Improved Vision: Anecdotal evidence suggests that Sananga can help improve eyesight by enhancing ocular circulation and reducing strain.


Risks and Precautions

  1. Intense Burning Sensation: Sananga can cause a strong burning sensation in the eyes, which typically lasts for a few minutes.
  2. Potential Allergic Reactions: Some individuals might experience allergic reactions. It is advisable to do a patch test before use.
  3. Not for Pregnant Women: Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid using Sananga.
  4. Consultation with a Professional: Always consult with a healthcare professional or experienced practitioner before starting a Sananga dieta.


How Sananga is Made

Sananga is made by grinding the roots and bark of the Tabernaemontana plant and then boiling them in water. The resulting liquid is strained and concentrated into eye drops. The preparation process requires deep respect and intention, often performed in ceremonial settings by experienced shamans.


Storage and Shelf Life

Sananga should be stored in a cool, dark place, preferably in a glass container to preserve its potency. When stored properly, it can last for up to six months. Refrigeration can help extend its shelf life but always check for any changes in color or smell before use.


Dosage and Usage

For a 7-day dieta, it is recommended to start with one drop in each eye, once or twice daily. The dosage can be adjusted based on the individual's experience and tolerance. Always ensure to cleanse the eyes and hands before application to avoid contamination.


The Sananga Ceremony

  1. Preparation: The ceremony begins with setting a clear intention for the healing process. The space is prepared with sacred elements like incense, crystals, and calming music.
  2. Administering Sananga: Participants lie down in a comfortable position. The practitioner administers one drop of Sananga in each eye while the participant keeps their eyes closed initially.
  3. Meditation and Reflection: After the initial burning sensation subsides, participants are guided through a meditation to integrate the experience. This may include breathwork, chanting, or silent reflection.
  4. Closing the Ceremony: The ceremony concludes with gratitude and sharing insights or experiences among participants.


What to Expect

  • Initial Discomfort: The burning sensation can be intense but usually subsides within a few minutes.
  • Emotional Release: Some participants may experience emotional purging, which is a natural part of the healing process.
  • Enhanced Clarity: Many report improved mental clarity, sharper vision, and heightened intuition after the ceremony.


Conclusion

A 7-day Sananga dieta can be a profound journey of healing and self-discovery, blending ancient wisdom with modern insights. By understanding its history, benefits, and proper usage, participants can safely and effectively incorporate this powerful medicine into their spiritual practices.


Remember, the use of Sananga should be approached with respect, intention, and guidance from experienced practitioners to fully harness its potential for transformation and healing.
