Sweetgrass (Hierochloe odorata) is a sacred plant with deep roots in Indigenous traditions across North America. Often referred to as the "hair of Mother Earth," it is known for its sweet, vanilla-like fragrance and powerful spiritual properties.

Traditionally, sweetgrass is used in ceremonies for purification, healing, and prayer. It is often burned after sage in smudging rituals to invite in positive energy, peace, and protection. The smoke is gentle and uplifting, making it ideal for cleansing spaces, people, or sacred objects.

Each braid typically symbolizes mind, body, and spirit – or past, present, and future – reflecting the interconnectedness of life. Sweetgrass is also gifted as a sign of respect, gratitude, and goodwill.

Metaphysical benefits include attracting positive spirits, promoting emotional healing, and creating a sense of harmony and balance. Its calming scent is also helpful for reducing stress and enhancing meditation.

Physically, sweetgrass has been used as a natural insect repellent and is believed to have mild antimicrobial properties when burned. It is not intended for internal use.
