Sweet Grass (Hierochloe odorata) - small

Package: 1 braid of Sweet Grass (Hierochloe odorata)

Length: approximately 10 cm

Sweet Grass (Hierochloe odorata) is a grass with a sweet and pungent fragrance, native to the plains of North America.

Also known as “Sweet Grass” and “Mother Earth’s Hair,” Native Americans have always considered it a sacred herb used for ceremonial and ritual purposes, tied in three-strand braids representing love, kindness, and honesty, respectively.

According to Native American tradition, White Sage is first burned to banish negative energies, followed by Sweet Grass to attract the attention of benevolent spirits and luminous entities.

How to use:

To use the incense sticks, light the top of the bundle, then gently blow out the flame with a light movement of your hand; the grass will release its full aromatic fragrance.

Traditionally, the smoke is spread and directed to the area where you wish to perform the smudging with the help of a feather (but your hand works just as well), and then placed on a shell to continue smoldering (but any heat-resistant support will also do). Once lit and smoldering, direct the smoke where you wish or carry the smudge directly to the desired area.

Alternatively, you can place the smudge on a small plate and let it smolder as desired.

Before using it again, trim off the burned part with scissors.

After use, wrap it in aluminum foil and store it away from heat sources and moisture. It lasts for numerous smudging sessions. Do not leave it lit and exposed to drafts.
