How Long Does Sananga Last In The Fridge?

Questions about herbal preparation shelf-life are common, and while shelf-life and preparation potency will vary based on several factors such as the solvent used to make the preparation, how the preparation is made, stored, and used, and time itself. The strength of this medicine can vary significantly—one batch of sananga may be far more potent than another. The eye drops will only remain fresh for a few weeks without refrigeration, but can last for several months when refrigerated.

Herbal preparations like Sananga should be stored out of direct sunlight, in a dry place free from moisture, and in a cool environment (not above 110 degrees) as light, moisture, and heat are all thought to reduce the effectiveness of the herbal properties contained in the preparation.

Refrigeration (below 40° Fahrenheit) can also help to extend the shelf life of herbal products as bacteria grow more slowly in cold environments.


How Time Affects Herbal Preparation Potency

Time affects all herbal preparations including Sananga in terms of potency and effectiveness. The more time that passes, the less potent the preparation becomes. As soon as a plant is harvested, it and its properties begin to fade. Solvents can help extract and preserve a plant’s properties for a time, but effectiveness naturally wanes as time passes.


Use Your Senses To Tell When a Sananga Has Gone Bad

In this post, we’ve tried to be conservative with our recommendations for herbal preparation shelf life. However, there is wiggle room when it comes to the shelf life of various herbal preparations. Using your five senses can help guide you as to whether something has gone bad.

Think back to how your Sananga looked, smelled, tasted, or felt when you first made it. Compare that to how it looks, smells, tastes, or feels now.

Does it look different from when you first made it? Has the color changed? Do you see cloudy matter floating in the liquid? Is there mold growing on the surface?

Does it smell different? Most freshly made Sananga preparations will have an herby scent, smelling similar to the herb itself, or a scent reflecting the solvent used.

Does it taste strange? Perhaps a little sour, fizzy, or alcoholic when it was once sweet or savory?

Does it feel different? Is it gooey or slimy feeling? Has it gone from smooth to grainy?

Using your senses can help you to guess whether a Sananga preparation is past its prime and should be remade. Remember to err on the side of caution in order to protect your eyes. SEE: Top Health Benefits of Yoga With Adriene
