EYE HEALTH

Severe visual impairment (SVI) and blindness are predicted to affect approximately 900 million people globally by the year 2050. Currently, 295 million people have moderate-to-severe visual impairment, 258 million are mildly affected, and 43 million people are blind. Although blindness in adults ages 50 years and older has decreased by nearly 29% worldwide in the last 30 years due to population growth, the number of people with severe visual impairment and blindness is expected to double over the next 30 years.

Sananga comes from the root bark of the Tabernaemontana undulata shrub.  We source our Sananga from Brazil and Peru. Sananga has not been scientifically studied in the West, but it is believed to enhance spiritual connection, balance and focus the mind, bring a sense of peace and clarity, clear away negativity, elevate mood, and enhance visual acuity and color perception. It can be used as a remedy for dry, red and tired eyes and is used for many eye conditions including infections and glaucoma. Indigenous people believe that sananga is useful in a wide range of situations from hunting and treating snake bites to toothaches, skin conditions and clearing away bad energy.
