Sweet grass is considered a sacred plant and is used by traditional healers as a smudging herb in order to attract good spirits and positive energy. As its name implies, Sweet Grass has a sweet aroma when burned and is ideally used after the bitter purification of sage. In the Native American tradition, it is often burned at the beginning of a prayer or a ceremony to attract positive energy. Please note the length of this Sweet Grass Braid will be from 11"-17" (We had to make some changes to the braid length, so it is a little shorter than it used to be but also a little cheaper)
