## About
A braid of sweetgrass burns slowly and beautifully, but not everyone can sit with smoke. This herbal water carries the same ceremony in a fine mist: a spritz at the threshold, over the linens, around the chair where you sit to be still.Sweet Grass Hydrosol is distilled from certified organic Hierochloe odorata in the USA. Known as holy or sacred grass, sweetgrass has been used ceremonially for centuries to purify body and spirit. It is also a hydrosol that breaks the rules. Most are mildly acidic when fresh; this one was alkaline when first distilled, and its pH drops over time. Its scent shifts with temperature too: sweetly spicy at room temperature, with traces of the coumarins you would expect from sweetgrass, and much greener and more vegetal when chilled.DetailsBotanical name: Hierochloe odorataDistilled from certified organic sweetgrass, USAScent: sweetly spicy at room temperature, green and vegetal when chilledHow to useMist it through a room, over linens or around your meditation space, and pair it with White Sage Hydrosol for energy work.
