Our dream team

The potential of plants has been used since the beginning of time to heal and to enhance well-being. At Sensatonics, we have been researching for over two decades the traditional knowledge that various cultures have developed about plants. We would like to pass this rich treasure of experience on to you.

The foundation of the company is our great team, which has grown steadily over the last few years and at the same time has kept its friendly and familiar spirit. Some of us have known each other for decades, others are from the next generation. We are all united by a common interest in plants, nature and indigenous knowledge.

Ralf and Jörg love to laugh

The founders, Ralf Güthe and Jörg Happe: we have been interested in the effects of plants ever since our youth. After traveling to all parts of the world, this led to the founding of the legendary Spacebar in post-reunification Berlin, where hedonistically oriented, plant-based drinks offered an alternative to beer and typical alcoholic drinks. The Herbal Kicks Kokmok, Moonwalk and Venuswave could tell a lot of stories from this era.

But our interest in the power of plants had just been awakened. Based on the research into traditional plant knowledge from around the globe, Central European herbalism as well as the indigenous peoples' understanding of plants, we developed further drinks, a.k.a. Herbal Tonics, Sensatonics.

Over the years, our interest broadened and with it the range of our company, with which we want to help awaken the senses to the power of plants and the richness of nature. Our philosophy is particularly characterized by the shamanic traditions that show us how to live in harmony with each other and with nature. Our range of ritual supplies and shamanic art helps the guardians of ancient wisdom bring their knowledge to the world and supports the preservation of their cultures and traditions.

With our ever-increasing selection of products from our own manufacture, we want to open the senses to the richness of nature. When selecting our raw materials and suppliers, we prioritise environmentally friendly and fair sourcing wherever possible. You can find our specific criteria and supporting documentation listed with the relevant products.

Our Herbal Tonics

Our Herbal Tonics combine the power of European herbalism with the ethno-botanical diversity of Asia and the Americas. Our focus is on the Amazonian plant world, with its treasure trove of vitalizing tree barks. Trust in the wisdom of nature and treating it with respect are at the heart of the Sensatonics philosophy. That is why, in our formulations, we favour plant parts from organic cultivation or wild collection, as well as natural raw materials. From our holistic point of view, our decision to work as a manufactory is an obvious one.

“Manufaktur” means handmade

Only by producing small quantities, with a large dash of careful handcraft, are the valuable herbs incredibly gently extracted and the power and spirit of the plants are preserved. Our products are sweetened exclusively with fruit juices and are free of refined sugar, artificial flavors, preservatives and animal products (vegan). We use pure organic alcohol and purified, energized water for the plant extracts. The guarana contained in many Sensatonics products comes from the Brazilian development aid project ONCA (Jaguar) and is certified organically grown (DE-ÖKO-039). We particularly appreciate the Amazon rainforest, as its abundance of plants is a constant inspiration for us. That is why we are a supporting member of the organization Pro REGENWALD e.V.

The Sensatonics range has something to suit every situation and mood. Let pleasure, joy and intuition guide you as you try our products! We hope you enjoy your sensory journey of discovery!

Our Incense

Burning incense belongs to one of the oldest ritual acts of humankind. For thousands of years, the aromatic scent of plants has been used to consecrate, cleanse and protect, to heal the sick, to fend off evil spirits and welcome the good spirits. For over 25 years, we have been researching the beneficial power of burning incense – in this way, our Native American incense products contain the valuable incense herbs of the North American tribes as well as (sometimes rare) leaves, wood, and saps that are traditionally used by the indigenous peoples of the Amazonas.

Precious incense herbs

We receive the herbs for our incense direct and fresh from the areas of origin; that’s why we guarantee their excellent quality and aroma. Due to the increase in demand for valuable herbal incense globally, the traditional ways of cultivating and harvesting these plants are at their limit. Together with our local partners, we strive to find responsible solutions. We warmly invite you to embark on a journey through the world of scents!
