Yerba Santa, also known as the “holy herb,” is a sweet-smelling plant called so by Spanish monks who were impressed by its strong healing properties. It shows anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Yerba Santa originates from the mountains in the Southwest region of the USA, where it is harvested in a way that does not affect the natural environment of the plant.
Yerba Santa raises mental resources, helps develop awareness, and creates an atmosphere of healing and protection. It has traditionally been used as a smudge for protection and setting boundaries. It helps create conditions for release of emotional pain. While burning, Yerba Santa produces a warm, sweet yet herbal smoke, which is especially appreciated in healing ceremonies.
