Ethnomedicinal use

Apparently added to ayahuasca (bark? root? Citation needed)

It is used as eyedrops by the Kaxinawa, using the juice (acqueous extraction? Squeezed 'resin'?) of the root and trunk scrapes, for the purpose of improving luck and concentration when hunting. Also when being stung by "tocandira" and stingray, topically applied. Also the latex from the bark is used for tooth ache, topically applied with some cloth, until the tooth falls out. (Ika Muru, 2014)

Much as T. rimulosa. The leaves, softened by fire, are applied to relieve rheumatic pains. In Pastaza, taken one week after delivery. "Pulp is used as a gargle for sore throat and colds". "Tikuna" mix the latex with water for eye wounds . "Jivaro" apply the bark juice to toothache. Considered sudorific, tonic, used for colds, obesity, rheumatism, syphilis. (Amazonian Ethnobotanical Dictionary)

Colombia: A mixture of latex and water can be used to cure eye wounds [375]. (Van Beek et al 1984)

Peru: In the upper part of the Amazon the plant has long been considereda panacea, the name sanango signifies a more or less all-purpose medicinal plant. In the Leticia area it is employed as a febrifuge, emetic, diuretic, calmative and for various minor ailments. A tepid decoction of the leaves and bark is used to wash wounds and afterwards powdered bark is put
over the wound; this is repeated three times a day for 10 days. A water extract of the root is drunk three times a day during 15 days against rheumatism and for wounds [ 375]. (Van Beek et al 1984)

Peru, Brazil: An infusion of the roots is used against rheumatic pains
[376]. (Van Beek et al 1984)

Alkaloid info and pharmacology (Van Beek et al 1984)
Coronoaridine
CAS: 467-77-6
338.44 g/mol
The alkaloid has been tested in the mouse, cat, dog, monkey and rat by a variety of pharmacological procedures. It showed autonomic and CNS activity. In mice it produced analgesia and was effective in suppressing rage caused by foot-shock. Toxicity in the anesthetised cat appeared to be associated with respiratory depression. Coronaridine was inactive in the 9 KB system in cell culture [ 150]. In a general pharmacological screening, the compound exhibited little activity [164]. A single 30 mg/kg p.o. dose of coronaridine prevented pregnancy in rats when given on day 1, 2, 3 or 4 after coitus. When given on day 5, 6, 7 or 8 of pregnancy, the results were only partially successful. The substance showed estrogenic activity, and it was this activity which appeared to be responsible for the antifertility action. However, the alkaloid was devoid of anti-estrogenic, androgenic, anti-androgenic, progestational, anti-progestational and uterine-stimulant

3-hydroxy-Coronaridine
CAS: 56867-69-7
354.19 g/mol
The substance had strong antibiotic activity [ 382]

Ibogamine
CAS: 481-87-8
280.41 g/mol
Central-stimulating properties were observed in a general pharmacological screening, and in mice, when administered S.C. together with Rididyl i.p., the alkaloid produced jactatio capitis [164]. On iv. injection into anesthetised guinea pigs, the effects observed were the same as with ibogaine (q.v.) [221]. Ibogamine was not active in the P-388 or KB test systems in cell culture [ 353]

Voacangine
CAS: 510-22-5
368.21 g/mol
In a general pharmacological screening, voacangine exhibited a slight central stimulating effect. The LDSo i.v. in the mouse was 54 mg/kg [ 164]. When injected i.v. into anesthetised guinea pigs it produced the same effects as did ibogaine (q.v.) [221]. Voacangine had no effect on the heart [ 178]. The alkaloid was not active in the P-388 and KB test systems in cell culture [353].

Information
T. sananho known locally as "kunakip" among the Aguaruna. Said to be "waimatai" (vision-producing).

Bark and roots are administered to dogs to improve hunting ability; route of administration (ROA): "inhaled in mouth, nose, fed". Used similarly by humans, but with different ROA (human ROA not specified). The bark is fed to dogs to treat lack of appetite (a use not seen in humans). The sap is applied topically to treat dermatitis in dogs and humans.

TABERNAEMONTANA SANANHO (RUIZ& PAV.) MARKGR. - A sticky latex from the fruit of this Apocynaceae species, called bai su'u by the Amazonian Siona-Secoya Indians, is placed into the nostrils of hunting-dogs to augment their olfactory range [Russo 1999; Schultes & Raffauf 1990]. Extracts of bark of tsicta, most probably T. sananho, are ingested both by human beings and their dogs as hunting-aid in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Tabernaemontana is related to iboga, Tabernanthe iboga BAILL., and some of its species contain a variety of the same visionary ibogane alkaloids [Ott 1996].

Under the name sananho, a Tabernaemontana species is used as an ayahuasca additive (Schultes & Hofmann 1979), and under the same name a species of Tabernaemontana is used as an ingredient of South American dart poisons (Bisset 1992A). This might represent T. sananho, a species reported to be strongly-positive for alkaloids in field tests (Schultes 1985A) and employed under the name tsicta as a hunting aid in Ecuador. Bark extracts of tsicta are given both to human hunters and their dogs, to sharpen their senses for hunting, after weathering the initial, disagreeable effects (Miller 1993).
Sananho, a Tabernaemontana species, is a known ingredient of South American dart poisons (Bisset 1992A), and under the name tsicta, T. sananho and other Tabernaemontana species are used in Ecuadorian ethnomedicine (Kohn 1992).

It would be good for someone to follow up on all those sources. This topic seems a bit messy to sort out, since there are so many different plants called sananho/sanango.

Also: Can anyone track down the original paper detailing which alkaloids were found in T. sananho? As far as I can tell, it's not online... but Italian sources with ridiculously long names aren't exactly my specialty. I can't even tell whether it's a book or a journal title.

My next post here will cover: Pharmacology of the T. sananho alkaloids.

It turns out that ChEMBL's weakness is that it doesn't index older literature. None of Van Beek et al.'s sources turned up with ChEMBL's pharmacological activity searches.
 
About the Undulata and Becchete association. I began trying the drops over a month ago. Never got the 2-3 week duration effects that I had read about. Then the other day I did 3 drops per eye and was launched into strobe world for 7 days now. Fractals all around, geometric designs et all. It seems to be looming on the dangerous side as 3 drops causes considerable pain that doesn't just go away, it sticks around for a awhile. Another way to get stronger effects is to do it right on the iris and pupil.

I thought it was slightly a myth at how long they say it lasts...I was wrong. Just depends on how far one goes, but must be very careful.
 
Will be doing TA extracts of Undulata Roots and Sananho Roots over the course of the next year or so and see if microdosing my way up to a considerable dose if it mirrors the effects of Iboga TA at all.


The Sanango Diet is a pinnacle experience of Amazonian Shamanism. The diet consists of drinking the inner bark of the roots of the Sanango tree for three consecutive nights followed by another 4 days of dieta. A solution is made by adding water to the roots and allowing them to sit for hours. That solution is filtered through cheese cloth and is consumed at 3:00 A.M. It is hot and spicy and can cause vomiting and diarrhea. 20 to 30 minutes after ingesting Sanango the visionary effects begin. The journey lasts up to 5 hours with mild visions and very strong corporal sensations. Some people express difficulty with seeing straight and equilibrium the day after the Sanango Ceremony.

Sanango’s head medicine spirit presents himself in the form of an old man and is affectionately referred to as Abuelo Sanango or Grandfather Sanango. He is known to be very strict and very compassionate. His principle teaching is integrity and Truth. The Sanango diet moves methodically. As it straightens your energy, you face all your thoughts, desires, attitudes and understandings. They will be transformed.Uchu Sanango cleaned and ready for the dieta

Its movement is likened to a glacier. As it moves slowly, sometimes so slowly it seems like it is stopped, it pulverizes all resistance and leaves in its path a beautiful living sculpture. There is no movement in Sanango that can be resisted. It is infinitely patient as it reminds you that you will redefine your life in Truth and Heart.

Due to the strict nature of the medicine the rules need to be heeded and followed. Not following the rules can bring tremendous affliction by traditional definitions and it is expected that anyone that does not follow them will have to come back to straighten it out with Abuelo Sanango. This does not mean that there need be any fear about the diet. On the contrary the diet takes its own path, making your job very easy. All you have to do is follow the rules and follow the direction the medicine heads.

Sanango Medicine is of a very high vibration making it very gentle and beautiful. Its predominantly violet medicine is an expression of pure Love. It helps you to face your deepest inner Truth and bring that as en expression of integrity into your daily life. It gives you the strength to overcome your fears and stand in the glory of your individual expression of humanity.
 
Just further commenting on the effects of taking Becchete/Sananga eye drops in larger amounts. During the day and light everything is significantly brighter, many designs form, but no strobe like effects. Third eye is beaming to a point of a dull pain even. Behind eyes this slight dull pain is also felt, like a warning signal to a migraine that never develops into anything.

Once night comes it totally adjusts or morphs into an Iboga like effect or more relative to most akin to large MAOI dosages. Strobes all around with lights and forms, can be overwhelming. It really comes out at night and faces and forms appear in a beauty that is very potentiated. I am finding it gets a bit old as these effects don't seem to die down. Now I am wondering if when the indigenous people do it they might be doing +1 eye drop, maybe 3-5 to get the long lasting effects. Despite my month long experimentation doing 1 drop per eye every other day, I feel like only now do I properly understand the effects and what it is truly for.

Must be one of the most mysterious medicines and ways of administering an entheogen that is known to man. So perplexing how these simple methods are so far advanced and well thought out.

I finally tried this yesterday, the sanango eyedrops from the Yawanawa people, during an ayahuasca ceremony. One drop to each eye... The moment it hits the eye, it takes about a second for it to start burning A LOT. It's a very intense piercing pain, my instinct was to contract muscles and hold my face with my hands, but my good friend who applied it passed his hand softly on my forehead and told me to try to relax.

The burning sensation lasted for maybe 5 minutes, but the first minute or two are the worse. Then the pain gives way to a lot of tears and clearing of synus, and a sensation of opened headspace and improved eyesight/deeper vision. This lasted for many hours, with a feeling of healing me too! Very special medicine!

Amazing and special, enjoy!
The Yawanawas use it during hunts at night, for this vision improving effect.
I'll try it soon.
Great informative thread.

Endlessness

This is incredibly fascinating and has definitely sparked my interest in Tabernaemontana sananho, may I ask what is the method of preparation that the Yawanawa people use to make the eye drops?


Much Peace and Kindness
 
They use a simple process, but they don't use preservatives so it goes "bad" after 4 months (that's what I was told through the Kaxinawa making it although I would assume it would not stay good for quite that long) without a preservative (like Colloidal Silver or others). Preservatives are very difficult for eye drops as there are few that are good for the eyes.

There is a hard to find video showing how the Matses make Becchete which is the "sister" named Tabernaemontana Undulata the Kaxinawa and Yawanawa are using the roots of Uchu Sanango aka Tabernaemontana Sananho. In the video I saw of the Matses making Becchete which lasted for only a minute they grate it super fine (the root) and then strain through water. Ultra simple.

Although the recipe is simple to make it with preservative can be complicated. Personally I risked my eyes to get it right with success, because of the risks involved I can't rationally tell how it is done. Too much work/risk to simply give away. Also more profound effects can be made by extracting the roots rather than just straining. The hard part is getting the roots of these plants (for now) once the medicinal effects are more out to the world I slightly worry that harvesting will be quite prevalent.

These types of threads revealing so much quality infos are a double edges sword for this reason. The good old supply and demand very rarely takes into account sustainability.
 
I've been working with a much stronger sample of Sananga from the Huni Kuin. I have to say that it is probably the most amazing medicine I have ever worked with. I think if anything the first reports of it that I had ever read...
Actually very much underestimate the power and ability of Sananga. I would without a doubt put it on par with the other head totem medicinals.

One of the most astounding miracles I've observed is it's ability to last for days on end. And to go along with this it's ability to make other entheogens such as Kambo(technically not an entheogen to most), Iboga, Ruma snuff, and Ayahuasca last for days and very much amplified.

There is something very strange as well where when I do one drop of Sananga in each eye and the burning stops after about 5-7 minutes, it totally cleanses my sinuses like a rebirth and when I open my eyes tears come flooding out in such a healthy way like waterfalls. Then because my sinuses are so clear, I had realized this would be a good time to do the Huni Kuin Rape' snuff (which I find to be very potent it is brownish and Chai tasting) and then it goes straight to the back of my brain. The effects of this synergy very mysteriously mimic that of Ayahuasca if a substantial amount of Rape' is done. It is a hard ordeal that is extremely rewarding in nature.

I still don't know how safe it is to do Sananga on a daily basis? Like once a day or once every ceremony? These answers I can't get out of the Huni Kuin. They seem to leave it up to me to find out for myself.

But for sure this medicine is sooooo utterly amazing and vastly underestimated by all previous writings in my opinion. So much more study needs to be done.

I tried to change my name here to "Kambogahuascanga" due to this new found devotion to these sacred drops.

Just ask Trav if you want to change your name.
 
^ Thank you, I took your suggestion and will see if it is possible. I know it is quite strange for me to do this, but for some reason such things are important to me. New chapters I suppose.
