What is the difference between Sananga root bark and Sananga drops?

Sananga root bark is the dried inner bark of Tabernaemontana undulata, which serves as the raw material. Sananga drops are a liquid extract already prepared from this bark. The root bark allows practitioners to prepare their own extracts using traditional methods, while drops offer a ready-to-use format.

Why is the Sananga bark collected by the Matses tribe?

The Matses are an indigenous community living on the Peru-Brazil border with exceptional knowledge of rainforest plants, built over generations of daily interaction with their environment. They know exactly when to harvest, which parts to collect, and how to properly prepare the bark using traditional methods that preserve its properties.

How do you store Sananga root bark properly?

Store dried Sananga bark in a cool, dark, and dry place, ideally in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption. Properly stored, the dried bark maintains its properties significantly longer than liquid preparations. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and humidity, which can degrade the material over time.

Is the harvest of Sananga sustainable and ethically responsible?

Yes. The Matses tribe harvests Sananga using methods that do not harm the tree, taking only what is needed while ensuring the tree continues to grow. This sustainable approach is part of their worldview where respect for nature is central. Income from the harvest also helps the community maintain their traditional way of life.
