Braided sweetgrass is a traditional smudging tool widely used by Native American tribes, especially during purification ceremonies. This sacred herb, also called Sweetgrass, symbolizes the feminine and is revered for its purifying power. When burned, it releases a sweet and gentle smoke that drives away malevolent spirits while inviting positive and benevolent energies.
Used in the same way as a sage stick, sweetgrass burns slowly, spreading its soothing fragrance. Simply light one end and place the stick in a heat-resistant dish to let the smoke circulate and cleanse the environment. Traditionally, it is also used to bless people, objects, or places, connecting the practitioner to the spiritual energies of the Earth and sky.
