Calliandra angustifolia
Native to the Amazon basin, Bobinsana is within the traditional plant practices of Peru and surrounding regions. Growing along rivers and waterways, it has long held a place within Amazonian herbalism and plant-dieta traditions.
Beyond its physical uses, Bobinsana has developed a reputation as a gentle yet profound plant teacher, one associated with the heart, emotional sensitivity, dreaming and a deeper relationship with the natural world.
Bobinsana is often described as a plant of the heart.
Its medicine is traditionally approached through relationship rather than force: listening, observing and allowing the plant to reveal itself over time. Within ceremonial practices, Bobinsana is particularly associated with emotional opening, compassion, dreamwork and the softening of patterns held around the heart.
Its character is subtle, receptive and deeply feminine . A plant for those drawn toward tenderness, connection and inner listening.
Within the Western planetary herbal tradition, we align Bobinsana with Venus - the planetary principle of love, beauty, receptivity, harmony and relationship.
Venusian plants invite us toward connection with ourselves, others and the living world.
This correspondence beautifully reflects the traditional character attributed to Bobinsana and its relationship with the emotional and relational landscape.
Our Bobinsana preparation is created as a companion for intentional plant work and personal ritual.
It may be incorporated into practices centred around meditation, journaling, dreamwork or quiet contemplation.
Rather than approaching a teacher plant simply for what it can give, we encourage working with it relationally. Create space. Set an intention. Pay attention to dreams, emotions, sensations and subtle shifts that arise through your practice.
Approach slowly.
Listen deeply.
Take 5-10 drops under the tongue.
For ceremonial practice, create a quiet space before taking your preparation. Hold your intention lightly rather than seeking a particular experience, and allow time afterward for reflection.
Ingredients: Organic dried Calliandra angustifolia, alcohol, raw honey
Teacher Plants is a collection devoted to plants that have held significant relationships with people across traditional, ceremonial and spiritual plant practices.
Each preparation invites a slower way of working with plants, one grounded in curiosity, reverence and relationship.
Not simply to consume the plant.
To meet it.
Our Teacher Plant preparations are slow crafted in very limited batches, allowing each plant the time and attention its preparation requires.
Availability will naturally vary throughout the year. If this preparation is currently sold out, please reach out to us via email to enquire about the next batch.
