Yerba Santa (Eriodictyon glutinosum and Eriodictyon californicum) is a sacred herb traditionally grown in the dry hills of California and Northern Mexico. Revered for its sweet, uplifting aroma, this ceremonial cleansing wand is perfect for enhancing the atmosphere of your home, office, or any space in need of healing, purification, and love. Often referred to as "Holy Herb," Yerba Santa has been used by indigenous cultures, including the Mayans, for centuries as a powerful tool in rituals and healing practices.
Each bundle measures 3 to 4 inches in length, making it an ideal size for personal use. As you incorporate Yerba Santa into your practices, it’s important to be mindful and respectful of the cultural significance of smoke cleansing, or using any sacred plant medicine. This herb carries deep spiritual meaning, and using it with intention and reverence honors the traditions from which it originates.
It is essential to consider the sustainability of harvesting practices. All of our sages, including Yerba Santa, are carefully harvested from reputable suppliers who collaborate with traditional Native American artisans. These artisans prepare the goods in alignment with authentic native traditions, ensuring that each product is not only made by hand but also gathered in a way that honours the earth and the rich cultural heritage from which it originates. Every step of the process is carried out with deep respect for the environment and the traditions, allowing you to incorporate these sacred plants into your practices with confidence and reverence.
