Yerba Santa Sacred Herb Incense 30g

Healing • Cleansing • Peace & Protection

Yerba Santa, meaning “Holy Herb”, is native to the south-western mountains of North America. Long before European contact, it was revered by Indigenous Western tribes for both spiritual and healing purposes. Its sacred status was later recognised by the Spanish, who gave it the name it still carries today.

Traditionally used as a smudging and purification herb, Yerba Santa is burned in healing rituals to cleanse space, restore balance and offer spiritual protection. It is thought to neutralise disruptive or disease-causing energies, while encouraging peace, understanding and emotional harmony.
