Sweetgrass grows in the grasslands of North America and Canada, reaching heights of up to 90cm. It was considered a plant of strength by the forest dwellers of the Americas, and was used as a tea to relieve colds and aches, but was mostly used for incense, cleansing and protective rituals. It was believed that the pleasant, sweet, vanilla scent of sweetgrass attracted good powers.
The other ingredient in the bundle is Salvia apiana - White Sage, which grows on the coast of California. The plant is considered sacred by shamans and has been used for centuries in cleansing rituals. This cleanses not only the environment we live in, but also the mind and thoughts. White sage has a strong, pungent scent. Observations have shown that 94% of bacteria were destroyed by this smoke.
Its use is relatively simple. The bundle is ignited, left to burn for a short time, blown out and left to cremate on a non-combustible support such as a shell, plate or bowl. The smoke from the bundle can be dispersed around the room by hand or with a bundle of feathers. After the ceremony is complete, you can cut off the end of the incense, let it burn and use the rest of the bundle as follows.
Length of the bundle: 10cm
