Sweetgrass

Sweetgrass is famed for its unique vanilla-like scent when burned. Sweetgrass clippings were traditionally braided and dried prior to use because it was believed to represent the hair of Mother Earth. The smoke that rises from burned sweetgrass is thought to attract positive energies and good spirits.

Burned to promote happiness, open heartedness and harmony, sweetgrass is a sacred plant like sage that has long been used in smudging ceremonies. Yet unlike sage, which is a shrub, sweetgrass is actually a type of grass. Traditionally, sage has been used to ward off evil spirits and cleanse a space, person or object.

Best used after any smudging to fill the newly cleansed area with happiness & harmony. 

Sweetgrass does tend to smoulder rather than burn ~ so best burned on a charcoal disk. 

Ot is said to help relieve and rid the common cold!
