Sweetgrass (Hierochloe Odorata) is wonderful when honoring spirits and ancestors. It smells beautiful, and should only be used sparingly, and an offering given to Mother Earth in thanks when it is used. It invites in good energy, helps clear negative energy, and offers spiritual protection. It is often used when trying to connect to the ancestors and spirits of the land. This is a very sacred plant to Indigenous peoples.

For thousands of years, herbs, woods and grasses have been harvested, bundled, dried and burned for smoke cleansing by people of all cultures around the world. This is done to cleanse and purify, and is an ancient practice shared by many cultures. We respect all spiritual paths here at Dragon Moon, which is why we offer these herbs here.

Please note that Sweetgrass is also known as Sweetflag, or Calamus Root. There are various species of this plant growing in North America, and other types grow around the world. It has been used by various cultures since biblical times. In the Orient, and in ancient Egypt, it was thought to be a powerful aphrodisiac, while the Turk’s carried the aromatic plant to thwart infectious disease. The Sanskrit Kalamas, the Roman calamus and the Greek Kalamos all refer to the reed of the plant. In North America, this plant has been used by First Nations peoples for medicinal and spiritual purposes.
