About: Medicine from the Amazon

Wankawi offers Amazonian plant medicines for ceremonial use with the intention of healing, connecting with the plant spirits, re-balancing energies and opening to higher consciousness. As with most Amazonian plant medicines, the effects can be intense - physical, emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual purging can take place. 

For this reason, Wankawi offers support and guidance for those choosing to work with these medicines. Each individual is responsible for researching if these medicines are a fit and the decision to work with them (please see Legal Disclaimer below).

Wankawi infuses the plants with prayers to be in the highest good for those working with them.

Sourcing

Wankawi intends to do it's best for ethically sourcing these Amazonian Medicines. While traveling to the jungle to ensure cultivation, preparation, sale and shipment processes is not possible, we ask as many questions as we can to ensure all are in alignment with our values. We work with women suppliers and preparers when possible to support their livelihoods. We also buy from suppliers that have a well known reputation for highest quality products. Wankawi is driven by sustainability, in all senses. If any of these medicines become endangered, or we hear of unethical or ecologically destructive practices, we will discontinue offering these medicines. The foremost important aspect of working with these medicines is to listen - to the plants themselves, the Wisdom of the Earth and the communities and traditions from which they originate. Only when we take care of the entire system, can we truly heal, thrive and create a new world.

*A portion of proceeds (5-10%) is donated annually back to the communities or organizations working to support Amazonian communities and the plants.

Wankawi advises to use these medicines responsibly. This means in sacred ceremonial settings for the intention of connecting of the plant spirits for wisdom, healing and guidance.
