Ushpawasha Sanango (Tabernaemontana undulata)
About the plant
Ushpawasha sanango (Tabernaemontana undulata) is a species in the same genus as uchu sanango (Apocynaceae), tropical South America. Close in chemistry and traditional use to other sanangos; in dietas it is distinguished as 'memory of the heart'.
Properties and use
Ushpawasha sanango is described as work with emotionally significant memories and their 'metabolization': what was stuck begins to be lived through and released. In Takiwasi materials increased dreaming, heightened sensitivity, affective discharge, and subsequent emotional balance are repeated. For many this is the dieta of grief and love traumas — when memory becomes alive and then loses its poisonous fixation.
Use in dietas
Dieta with ushpawasha sanango is chosen when unresolved grief, loss, breakup, betrayal need to be worked through — not by suppressing memory but by allowing it to complete and release. The experience can be highly emotional; guidance by a maestro familiar with this line.
Precautions
Like other sanangos, it contains alkaloids. Contraindicated in pregnancy and severe conditions; only under guidance of a traditional healer.
