A powerful Amazonian vine for cleansing, clearing, and deep plant connection.
 
Ajo Sacha (Mansoa alliacea) is a sacred vine of the Amazon, traditionally used for both physical healing and spiritual strengthening. With a strong garlic-like scent, this plant has long been valued by Indigenous peoples for treating common colds, parasites, fungal imbalances, and inflammation, as well as for its profound energetic qualities.
 
The leaf of this plant focuses more on gentle cleansing of the digestive organs and gut health, whereas the vine & bark of the plant focus deeper into the bones, muscleskeletal pains, and strong detoxifcation.
 
Beyond its medicinal uses, Ajo Sacha is revered as a teacher plant — often incorporated into dieta practices, where one develops a deep relationship with a plant through ritual, isolation, and intention. In this context, Ajo Sacha is believed to cleanse energetic blockages, remove heavy or unhelpful influences, and fortify both the physical and subtle bodies.
 
Emerging research suggests that Ajo Sacha may contain compounds beneficial to a range of health conditions, validating what Indigenous knowledge has long known.
 
This Ajo Sacha has been ethically sourced from the Matsés tribe of the Peruvian–Brazilian Amazon, and offered with reverence and respect.
 
Suggested use:
Prepare as a tea using 1–2 tsp per cup. Steep for 10–15 minutes covered. The leaf can be used in cooking for its garlic flavour.
 
Store in a cool, dark place, out of sunlight, heat & air exposure.
