Origin, Creation and Application

Sananga eye drops are made from the Tabernaemontana undulata shrub that grows in Acre, Brazil and other South American countries, and is known to the Kaxinawás tribe as “Mana Heins” and as “Becchete” to the Matsés. Mana Heins or Becchete belong to the Apocynaceae family, the same family that iboga (Tabernanthe iboga) belongs to (König et al. 2015). The bark of the root of this shrub is first ground to a very fine powder that is strained various times through a cotton mesh and finally it is extracted into a juice. When applied on the skin, Sananga leaves are softened by fire, and applied directly on the affected part, or the latex from the root is mixed with water and applied with a cloth (Van Beek et al. 1984). Yet, it can also be applied with a drink made with a water extract of the root bark.

About this blend

The Story Behind “Vine of the Shaman”

Veia de Pajé carries a story within the Kuntanawá tradition. The vine’s heart-shaped leaf gives rise to another name associated with this blend: “heart of the boa,” or jiboinha.

In the account shared with this Hapé, Kuntanawá elders emphasize approaching it with a clear intention. This cultural context helps explain the significance of “Vine of the Shaman” a name connected to the plant’s symbolism and the tradition surrounding its preparation.

Veia de Pajé or Yawanawá Tsunu?

Both blends include Tsunu ash, but they come from different Indigenous traditions. Kuntanawá Veia de Pajé also incorporates the vine that gives “Vine of the Shaman” its name. Yawanawá Tsunu is described as a blend of Tsunu ash and mapacho.

The distinction is in their ingredients and cultural background, rather than a simple stronger-versus-gentler comparison. Explore Yawanawá Tsunu if you are looking for a Tsunu-and-mapacho blend; consider Veia de Pajé if you are specifically seeking the Kuntanawá preparation incorporating this vine.

Before you choose

Questions we hear often

Can I buy a small package before choosing a larger size?

Yes. This listing offers a 3.5 g package, alongside 7 g, 21 g, 35 g and 50 g options. The smallest package lets you purchase less of this particular blend.

Why do two Hapé products share the Tsunu name?

Tsunu refers to the ash ingredient named in these blends. A shared ingredient name does not establish an identical recipe or preparation. Compare the maker, listed ingredients and confirmed product characteristics.

Do larger quantities offer better value?

Yes. Larger packages offer a lower price per gram compared with smaller sizes. Our Hapé sample sets also offer discounted pricing, making them a good option for exploring several blends. Compare the available sizes and sample sets to find the best value for your purchase.

Does the package include an applicator?

This product includes the Hapé only. Kuripe and Tepi applicators are sold separately. If you need an applicator, browse our collection or explore a Hapé starter kit that includes one. Check the kit description for its exact contents.

Can the colour or texture vary between batches?

Yes. Colour, texture and taste can vary slightly between batches. Seasonal conditions in the Amazon basin influence the natural ingredients used in preparation, so materials gathered during the dry season can differ from those gathered during the rainy season.
