The human eye is a particularly sensitive organ, which means a Sananga ceremony can be painful. These sacred, shamanic eye drops cause an intense burning that usually lasts a few minutes, but experienced practitioners say this pain is an important part of the healing process. Shamans advise you breathe deeply into the intensity to gain the most from its benefits—it is by leaning into the pain that you can cleanse not only your eyes but your mind and spirit as well. Once the pain leaves and the sananga is no longer in your body, you’re left with a feeling of immense relaxation. We recommend finding a calm and quiet place, either in nature, or at home in a peaceful setting and with meditative music. The acute effects will wear off after 10-15 min, yet subtle after effects can last for days. Make sure you lie down to enable a good application and leave your eyes closed during the session. It is important to apply one drop to both eyes, and do not wait with the second drop, apply it immediately to balance out the energies on both eyes. Thereafter, you should blink with your eyelids for a short while to distribute the liquid over the whole eye. Ideally, you find a second person who can apply the Sananga for you.  If you don't have a second person to apply the medicine, you can also keep your eyes completely closed and apply the drops in the corner of your eye, so when you open them, the medicine drips into your eyes.  To get the most benefits, it is recommended to administer these drops daily for a few weeks, then take a couple of weeks off to give your eyes a rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCautions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContact lenses should be removed before applying Sananga.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease keep the bottle refrigerated, the ingredients are very fragile and can easily decompose and catch molds or fungi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-id=\"3486316789865\" id=\"shopify-product-reviews\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spr-container\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Medicinal Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost, Sananga has spiritual properties to clear our blocked energies, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
