Sweet grass is considered a sacred plant and is used by traditional healers as a smudging herb in order to attract good spirits and positive energy. As its name implies, Sweet Grass has a sweet aroma when burned and is ideally used after the bitter purification of sage. In the Native American tradition, it is often burned at the beginning of a prayer or a ceremony to attract positive energy.

Aroma: Sweet, natural, smoky

Intention: To purify one’s space or body and attract positive energy. Smudging is a spiritual purification process that can be thought of as a cleansing smoke bath that involves lighting the tip of the braid, gently blowing out the flame and placing it safely in a fireplace, allowing the smoke to fill your space and wash over your body. This practice is held sacred within the Native American culture as well as shamanism.

Key features:

• Hand-harvested and sun-dried under the Californian sun in accordance to Native American tradition
