###### **Sweetgrass Braid 45–55cm (18–22") – Sacred Smudging & Purification**

###### **Sweetgrass Smudge Braid • Sacred Grass Incense • Spiritual Cleansing Herb**

This **Sweetgrass Braid (45–55cm / 18–22")** is a sacred herb traditionally used for **smudging ceremonies, purification rituals, prayer, and meditation** across many Indigenous North American cultures.

Sweetgrass (Hierochloe odorata), known as **Sacred Grass**, releases a **warm, sweet, vanilla-like fragrance** when burned. In traditional ceremonies, **white sage is burned first to clear negative energy**, followed by sweetgrass to **invite positive spirits, blessings, and harmony**.

These braids are **hand-harvested and traditionally woven**, preserving an important cultural practice passed down through generations.

Sweetgrass is often kept in **medicine bundles, sacred spaces, or used in smudging rituals** for spiritual cleansing and connection.
