Description
The samaúma tree thrives in the floodplains that sit along Amazonian rivers. This massive tree can pump 1,000 liters of water a day through its vast root system, which forms large buttress roots at the base of the trunk that can extend 65 feet outward. Historically, these large, hollow buttresses were used by hunters and travelers to communicate over long distances. By striking the roots, they created deep, booming vibrations that reverberated through the forest floor and echoed for miles. This blend is traditionally used to connect the physical/grounded self with spiritual or ancestral realms.
