What People Describe
Across dozens of reviews, a few themes come up again and again. Almost everyone mentions the sharp, brief sting — regarded in the tradition as the medicine doing its work — followed by a settled sense of clarity and calm. Many describe feeling grounded and present, some an unexpected emotional release, and a great many return to the same theme: the freshness and quality of the preparation and the care behind its sourcing.
These are personal, traditional and ceremonial experiences — not clinical outcomes. Sananga has not been the subject of formal clinical research, and nothing below should be read as a claim that it treats or improves any eye or health condition. Read them as one person's experience, honestly told.
Soothing — Katukina
The gentlest of the three, and where most people begin. Shop Katukina Soothing →
Cleansing and calming“Just started my plant-medicine journey and was looking for a gentle eyedrop I could cultivate a relationship with. This is a perfect beginning sananga — mild enough to use practically every day.”
Twenty-one days of practice“Very good quality. Yes, they do burn. I’m doing them for 21 days and journaling as I go — setting an intention and blessing them before they go in my eyes. Just be with it, deep breaths, and happy healing.”
A great starting point“It’s powerful, yet not too intense — a great starting point for sananga. The company was kind enough to answer some questions I had, and showed great care, support and kindness through my purchase.”
A peace I hadn’t felt in ages“I had never used sananga before. I loved it. I felt very calm and got a good night’s sleep. The colours were vivid and bright, and I went for a walk and felt a kind of peace I hadn’t felt in ages.”
Balanced — Kuntanawá
The middle strength — a step up once the practice is familiar. Shop Kuntanawá Balanced →
The real deal“My son and I have used this for a few years. The Katukina is milder, the Yawanawá is much more — Kuntanawá seems just right. Over the years I’ve bought from a half-dozen other providers and it’s revealing how the quality differs. Shamanic Supply never disappoints.”
Heart opening“Love this blend. Immediately felt the energy of this plant medicine in my crown and heart. For the rest of the day I experienced uplifting and centeredness. Highly recommend for meditation, self-love and mirror work.”
A strong connection“I’ve used sananga in the past, but the quality here — perhaps because it is not the undulata variety — has a different energy. I feel a strong connection from this medicine, and the strength is perfectly what I was looking for.”
Beautiful medicine“I did a ceremony with hapé, kambo and Kuntanawá Balanced sananga. The sananga was strong, but I was able to breathe through it, and my eyes felt cleansed afterwards. Very happy with my purchase.”
Powerful — Yawanawá
The strongest of the three — for those with an established relationship to the medicine. Shop Yawanawá Powerful →
Courage“This powerful plant has cleared my physical eyes and my spiritual eyes as well. It has helped bring clarity to hard situations while giving me the courage to walk forward with love and compassion. Sananga has taught me how to lean into the pain, to open up to the love that’s always been there.”
Shedding the veil“I ordered the strongest strength and am not disappointed. I’m shedding the veil of all the layers of negativity and stress built up throughout the week. Follow the step-by-step application — it’s explained very well — and you’ll be golden.”
Right to the heart“A gentle and effective sananga. I’ve been using it daily for almost two weeks and it’s having a wonderful effect. The heart is open, and one only needs to quiet both external and internal noise to feel the medicine working through you.”
A deep release“So far, the drops have provided a deep, roughly twenty-minute experience of embodiment and a release of tears.”

Fresh sananga when needed“Love the innovation from Shamanic Supply. Making my own medicine at home is wonderful. Being able to get back to my daily ritual has been a gift of clarity and connection.”
Definitely different“I rarely write reviews but am ordering more. This product, T. sananho, is definitely different — the differences are subtle. I make and share it, and more and more people show up at my doorstep for this special item.”
On Quality and Sourcing
The theme that comes up as often as the medicine itself — where it comes from, and the hands that make it.
Very reputable“Simon told me about the care that goes into this company’s products and how they care for the local people. The sananga drops are pure. I would not order from anywhere else. Thank you for being mindful of the Indigenous people who share their medicine.”
Ethically sourced“Thank you for sourcing incredible and effective products whilst helping to sustain the life of the tribal peoples. This is one of those noble outfits that actually does the right things — bringing Indigenous offerings to the marketplace ethically.”
A resource I depend on“I purchased my first sananga from Shamanic Supply over a year ago and absolutely loved it. I’m so grateful to have a resource like this I can depend on for plant medicines.”

- They describe personal, traditional and ceremonial use. They are not medical advice, and not claims that sananga treats, cures, improves or prevents any eye or health condition. Sananga has not been the subject of formal clinical research.
- Sananga stings intensely by nature, experiences vary from person to person, and it is not a substitute for eye care. Remove contact lenses first, and if you have any eye condition or use prescription eye drops, consult an ophthalmologist before working with sananga.
