Sweetgrass - 10cm

Although less known, Sweetgrass is a purifying agent which can be used to smudge your house (cleaning with smoke). It is also a sacred plant within American Indian tribes and grows in the Rocky Mountains. Sweetgrass is also called 'the braids of mother earth'. Before harvesting, it is braided then dried and sold as a braid.

Sweetgrass has a natural sweet smell and reminds you of fresh cut grass. It makes people long for nature and is therefore often burned in combination with sacred wood (Palo Santo).  It creates a positive mood. Because this sweet grass is woven into a braid making it is very easy to burn. You can ignite the long braid with hot coals at the end and then sweep through the room to spread the smoke.
