SWEETGRASS BRAID

Sweetgrass has traditionally been used by various Native American tribes as an incense (for purification, dring out negativity and as an offering to spirits and ancestors), as a perfume, as a stuffing for pillows and mattresses, and as an insect repellent.  Many non-Native Americans have grown fond of sweetgrrass for its soothing, somewhat hypnotic vanilla-like fragrance, which can be and aid to meditative practices.
