Uncompromising Purity. Freshly Crafted Each Week in Brisbane. Express Post Only.
The plant's story begins in the Amazon. The extract in your bottle is made fresh in Brisbane.
For over five years, Sacred Plants Australia has been crafting Sananga fresh each week, refining our preparation through hundreds of small batches and a deep respect for the traditions behind this extraordinary plant.
Our philosophy is simple: organic Tabernaemontana undulata root bark, natural spring water and time. Nothing more. Nothing less.
While some Sananga arrives in Australia as a finished liquid, having already travelled internationally and spending days without refrigeration, ours takes a different path. We prepare, extract, double-filter and bottle it ourselves in Brisbane, then send orders exclusively by Express Post in an insulated foil bubble mailer.
We choose freshness over an artificially extended shelf life. Rather than adding preservatives, we prepare fresh batches every week and give every bottle a clearly marked 4-week expiry.
Pure by composition. Fresh by preparation. Carefully crafted from beginning to end.
In the Peruvian Amazon, Tabernaemontana undulata is known as Ushpawasha Sanango. Shamans and healers know it as “the plant of the memory of the heart”, a name associated with emotionally significant experiences. It reflects a remarkable concept that some experiences are stored not only in our memories, but also in our hearts.
Deep within the humid tropical forests of Central and South America grows Tabernaemontana undulata, a shrub or small tree belonging to the Apocynaceae family. Its glossy green foliage, delicate pale flowers and characteristic milky latex are distinctive features of this remarkable botanical genus.
Across the Amazon, generations of Indigenous plant knowledge have given members of the Tabernaemontana genus an enduring place in local ethnobotanical traditions. Their histories are woven into regional plant names, cultural practices and an intimate familiarity with the surrounding rainforest.
The two botanical species commonly associated with Sananga are Tabernaemontana undulata and Tabernaemontana sananho. Our extract is prepared specifically from Tabernaemontana undulata, with its botanical identity confirmed.
72 Hours. Two Ingredients. One Carefully Refined Process.
The botanical material undergoes a meticulous 72-hour cold-water extraction, with no externally applied heat. The resulting liquid is double-filtered to achieve its characteristic golden-straw clarity before being rested for 24 hours. It is then carefully transferred into individual 5 ml glass dropper bottles and sealed.
The finished extract has a tamper evident seal and is enclosed in a protective black Mylar pouch, shielding it from UV light.
Choose an individual 5 ml bottle or our better-value 2 × 5 ml twin pack, with each bottle separately packaged.
A Fresh Botanical Deserves Thoughtful Care
Our preservative-free water extract is prepared for a 4 week freshness window, with the exact expiry date clearly marked on its protective Mylar pouch.
Refrigerate immediately: Keep the extract refrigerated at approximately 4°C upon arrival.
Protect its character: Store the bottle tightly sealed inside its black Mylar pouch.
Inspect for freshness: Wash your hands before handling and visually inspect the liquid through the glass. If floating particles or cloudiness develop, this indicates contamination has occurred. Discard the bottle.
Handle with care: Keep the dropper tip from touching fingers or other surfaces and reseal the bottle firmly after handling.
Freshly Prepared. Carefully Protected. Promptly Dispatched.
Every Sananga order is dispatched exclusively by Express service, with the glass bottle protected inside its UV blocking Mylar pouch and an insulated foil bubble mailer to help minimise exposure to heat and light during transport.
