Historical Root & Tradition

Cana-do-Brejo / Cana-de-Macaco in Brazilian Ancestral Wisdom

A sculptural plant that grows on the shaded banks of rivers and marshes, with spiral leaves that enchant the eyes, it was integrated into Yoruba cults due to its affinity with the sweet water element.

In the traditional garrafadas of Central Brazil, the raizeiro masters recognized in the knotted shape of the root the living metaphor of firmeza: the capacity to tie knots in adversity and remain standing even in arid lands.
